Today in the news...

This morning, on a Nashville local news program, they had two stories relating to pregnancy. The first was about a special pregnancy bed. Some women are apparently told that they shouldn't sleep on their back but that sleeping on their side causes back problems. The solution, sleep on your belly in a special bed with a giant hole cut out for her belly to hang through. It also has a hole for the head and face with breathing portals to allow fresh air. It looks sort of like a massage table. The price is only $50. The name was corny. I cannot remember exactly what it was called, but I think it was a "belly bed". I told my wife about it and she seemed to think I was crazy. Oh well, it looked like a good idea on TV. The other news show was about a lady with 16 children who is now pregnant with her 17th. It's absolutely amazing how some people struggle to have just one and somebody else seems to be unable to not bare children.

the bed sounds great for them... what they really need is a bed that has room for pregnant wives and their 18 pillows, with space age sound baffling so they don't wake up their peacefully sleeping husbands every time they get up to pee.
