Attention Married Females,
Upon your graduation from BYU, get pregnant.
You may also get pregnant any time prior to your graduation, but all married female graduates from BYU by or shortly thereafter graduation (exception is if you already have a child).
Whoops! My bad!
Ok, but in all seriousness, it seems like all of my married female friends are pregnant! And I just graduated, as did many of my now married female friends from freshman year. Guess what? - they're pregnant. As are the other females I've met through my time at BYU who have gotten married and graduated. Every other status update I read from my married female 'friends' on facebook is about how they're pregnant. One of my students this last semester (he was a grad student and like 15 years older than me, but I was his TA nonetheless) told me that I was graduating and it would be a good time to get pregnant. WHAT!? I looked around at church this Sunday and there were a zillion (only a slight exaggeration) pregnant women or women who just had babies. There were even several who had babies and were pregnant again!
I know I shouldn't care - when I have a baby it will be a decision made between me, my husband and the Lord...and will be several years from now - but seeing all of these women pregnant kinda weirds me out a little. Ok, a lot.
Maybe this is why I hang out with non-married people.
