The Pregnant Man

I am still trying to wrap my head around this. Da Man and I caught it on CNN at some odd hour this morning. When the report was over he looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like that?" I guess I was sitting there with a what the...huh? look upon my face.
So how do I feel about it? I simply don't know. I mean, I totally dig wanting a child. *laughing because both of mine were surprise gifts from The Universe and a lesson not to buy over-the-counter birth control from Wal Mart*And on the one hand, maybe this is The Universe's miracle for that couple: The one chicka can't have babies and the man with a vajayjay can. I suppose it is miraculous, isn't it?
And the fact that he is a man in every other aspect doesn't  bother me, meaning I don't care much *how* he became a man. What is so disconcerting for me is the image of a man being with child. It was so unnatural. Freakish one would have to say.
Da Man told me at one point that he would love to know what it was like to be pregnant, to feel the baby moving around inside of you, to know that you were giving life. And I suppose that it is awesome that finally at least one man will be able to know. I can understand how some men feel a little left out during pregnancy because there is no way to explain what it feels like and what emotions and such deep love come from simply knowing that there is a little tiny person growing inside of you.
At one point I said to Da Man, "So does that make his wife a lesbian? Since they met when he was a woman?" I am the first to admit that I am a bit ignorant of such things. And I'm still sitting here, trying to wrap my head around it.
He'll make millions, that's for sure, eh. Imagine. I'm seeing a Lifetime movie in his near future.

He was just on Oprah (yesterday?). I only saw the last 10 minutes. How strange! I sure wonder how it happened, and how it's going to come out... I probably missed that part.

They had an episode like that on Grey's Anatomy awhile back, it was really a man but it turned out he had a tumor...
I wish I was a man so I never had to think about motherhood, periods, cramps, moodiness, etc etc etc.
Lucky bastids...
