I think you'll find the problem is not baby-related status updates, but status updates from boring people.

John is eating his dinner.

Betty is looking forward to the end of her working day.

Charles is watching his newborn son learn about the effects of gravity.

William is wishing he didn't have to commute.

Laura is getting excited about her holiday.

Fantastic idea.

I don't know what happened. I turn 26 and suddenly EVERYONE ON MY GAWDDAMNED FACEBOOK IS EITHER KNOCKED UP, OR TRYING TO GET KNOCKED UP. Particularly the high school colleagues (who, like those of scanner Emily, have all ended up fat, oily, and prematurely aged tee hee).

Daily status updates include "Erin 's ovulating!!!111" and "Catherine still recovering from torn vagina" and I feel that it will never go away. That the pre-pregnancy chatter. Then there are the status updates (and the photos, oh god the photos) of chapped nipples, cradle cap, assorted contraptions, and happiness. It's fucking sick. Here I am travelling the world, working semi-glamourous jobs, getting excessively educated, and having cinematic love affairs, but is that interesting? Nope. Know why? Because I have an untested uterus.

Fucking suburbs. I'm so glad I moved my self-righteous ass out when I was 17!!

I'm not REALLY this bitter. Okay, just a little. :o)

A few of us came up with this idea last year, actually. . . unfortunately my husband the web developer hasn't had the time to do any programming and we all kind of dropped the ball. I'm totally going to kick myself in the ass when it blows up, and somebody else gets rich off it.
