I think that’s actually her liver. Spleen’s on the left-hand side.

…that stupid EPT thing. “Plus if you’re pregnant, minus if you’re not” or something. Or maybe that’s First Response.

What we all failed to realize here is that the Positively +Pregnant! series is the work of a MARKETING GENIUS! It’s the first-ever Romance Novel / Pregnancy Test product tie-in in history.

Instead of a subscription offer insert on the center page, there’s a “Two for One” coupon for EPT and a flyer for Babies “r” Us (Purchase the pink onesie seen on the cover of Sillouette’s new Special Eddition “The Ladies’ Man” for just $9.99!)

Also, am I the only one who gets visions of Tim Meadows upon reading the title?

That’s not her spleen, silly… that’s her ribs. Every baby’s favorite place to stick their butt and make mama uncomfortable as hell.

Evie, I agree. Bam, we’re begging you: these covers are just so creepy that we can’t stand ‘em!

Shuzluva, this Nov will be my tenth aniversary with DH. I’ve been with him since I was 18. He’s a keeper too.
I just think that when you add a kid, pre-natal or not to any kind of romance it screws up the chemistry. But obviously there are tons of women who love to read this kinda stuff. More power to them but I wish Bam would stop posting the creepy covers.

OMG. I love my children, but I sure as hell do not want visions of them dancing through my romance novels! EWWWWWWWWWWW! Just hearing one of them moving around when we’re…well, you know…KILLS the mood. That’s why I’m going to make our room sound proof.

Evie, who cares about the plot? Is there anything less romantic than a night of hawt sex followed by a secret baby? Oy. I can imagine the angst and annoying giant misunderstandings that underlay every baby/secret baby/multiple daddy plot out there. Ugh.

Bam, that is so sweet of Tim! He’s a keeper, and hopefully he’ll enjoy that ice cream with you. This weekend was our sixth anniversary and the hubby wrote in my card that I “look better than ever”. I’ll keep him around too.

Not always secret baby. Sometimes, a girl gets pregnant by a cad and her male best friend/hunky neighbor steps up to the plate and offers to marry her. Or starts seeing her in a different light because of her “pregnancy glow” or some shit like that.

Okay, well given that I’m a guy and without a medical degree, I guess it’s unsuprising I’m clueless in this department.

Well clueless other than they keep showing the TV advert over in here .uk, with a deep voiced movie-trailer type guy, doing voiceover for a testing device billed as “The Most Sophisticated Piece of Technology You’ll Ever Pee On” *shot of ‘water’ falling on electronic device*.

Ugh! I can’t imagine why! What is the appeal here?
And Tim is a cool guy. Eat your ice cream and be grateful.
BTW–how does the plot of one of these preggy romances usually go? Having never read one, I can’t imagine. Is it all secret baby shit or what? E

Oh, man, I stepped on the scale today and it said “Pregnant”. Tim looked at the read-out and said, “Aw, it lies. You’re not pregnant. You’re just bloated ’cause you’re about to get your period. Do you want some ice cream?”

Tim rocks.

And Evie, hell yeah, it sells. Are you kidding? People love this shit.
