The Fragile.

    Apparently, pregnancy hormones will do some weird things to a body. There's one woman that when she got pregnant, instead of getting a nice even tan like usual, she got all splotchy with a bunch of white patches. There is a real skin condition that can happen in Barr bodies, but that happens all the time; not just during pregnancy. Also, my wife is getting heat rash on her knees. Why would anyone get heat rash on their knees? The only thing I can think is that pregnancy makes women fragile. Even a simple foot massage can induce labor. While that statement hasn't been fully backed up by science (or tested on Myth Busters), just that the idea is out there is pretty odd. Even so, I can't help but see images of mothers-to-be getting wrapped from head to toe in bubble wrap. I find myself apologizing often for just brushing up against Catie. She's pretty tough, but pregnancy does weird things to women. Weird things...
