Pregnant Wives

So Iron Chef's Cat Cora is pregnant. And so is her wife, Jennifer. Cat Cora posted a bit from a piece by OK! Magazine on her myspace:

"Iron Chef's Cat Cora has a bigger surprise than the unveiling of her secret ingredient on her hit Food Network show; She's expecting her third--and fourth--sons! "It's really crazy!" the chef, 41, tells OK! Most unusual, Cat will give birth three months after her partner, Jennifer Cora, 37. "We decided that having them a year apart is harder than having kids as infants together," Cat says of their planned pregnancies. Their four children have the same sperm donor but Cat says," [Jennifer] carried my embryo amd I carried hers. It's like surrogating, but obviously all of our kids are equal."

I've always wanted to have kids like that if I can't adopt. Have my partner carry my egg or me carry hers. I wanted it so that I could be snarky when people asked who the biological mother was and tell them we both were. It has never, ever occurred to me that I might get knocked up at the same time as my partner. That seems both practical and entirely insane.

Congrats to Cat and Jennifer! I can't wait to see the baby pictures from these ones!
