Married couple has baby

[jack]

So, the news all over the headlines today (as I found out when wondering why so many strange tweets are appearing), seems to be "30-year-old married couple expecting baby". I'm not sure why I feel compelled to repeat that.

What? People don't stop having sex when they get married?!

[jack]

Well, they got married 7 months ago, so it's physiologically possible they stopped having sex, but not if you assume someone would have noticed the pregnancy before this :)

I think it was a year and 7 months ago.

Doh! Thank you.

OK, that makes more sense. And wow, I didn't remember it being so long ago.

And yes, unless they're elephants, the pregnancy must have begun less than 19 months ago :)

Strictly, it's "30-year-old married couple expecting baby; wife has hyperemesis gravidarum".

"married couple's life is so much in the public eye that illness requires a very early disclosure of the pregnancy"

[jack]

Yeah, that.

I remember a Douglas Hofstadter article where he mentioned a "hostages enjoy privacy after release" as a large-text front-page headline with pictures.
