When I saw the John Travolta and Kelly Preston announcement that they were pregnant flash across my screen yesterday, I assumed it was a rumor. But no! Lo and behold my assumption was wrong. Gosh dang it Kelly and John, congratulations are in order.
My next immediate thought after popping imaginary champagne was ‘who would want to get pregnant at 47? I really love sleeping through the night too much‘ but then I realized that I’d give all the teeth in my head and then some to have another baby, so who am I to question why? Now my celebrity gossiping ways have moved on to the ‘how’ questions. Can I assume there may have been infertility treatments involved? Very presumptuous of me but hey, odds are there was some intervention of a laboratory kind when it comes to this pregnancy.
But questions of methodology or intent aside — because I must assume they have already thought about the fact that when this child is hitting puberty, mom will be hitting 60 and dad will be hedging 70 — this news I’m sure is very welcome after the past couple of years they have had. So I’m going to check my questions at the door and repeat congratulations. I’m just glad it’s not me getting up for night feedings at 48.
