Cat and Jeniffer Reproduced While I was Too Lazy to Even Type About It.

So way back on April 4th, Cat Cora (Iron Chef) and her wife Jennifer had a baby they named Thatcher Julius Cora. Jennifer did the hard work in this case, while Cat is still waiting a few more months to deliver the next baby for the family in about three months.

I like the name Thatcher. Not so crazy about Julius, but Thatcher has the same sort of dignity that, say, Anderson has. (Yes, I'm still obsessing.)

So congrats to the happy family. I'm in awe of your ability to not kill each other while both of you are dealing with the horror show miracle that is pregnancy.

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!
