Baby Boom

I don't know if any of you have noticed this in your own cities but there seems to be a proliferation of pregnant women waddling along the streets of mine. It's like everyone and their dog is with child. Though I love seeing babies in the streets (especially those accompanied by their handsome fathers) I've never found the sight of a very pregnant woman particularly heart-warming. Au contraire, I sometimes find it slightly repugnant, which hasn't helped my mood any lately.
