cock-a-doodle-doo

OMG! Stop the presses! Someone on the internet is funnier than me. Her name is Amy Morrison and she's the brains behind the refreshingly real pregnantchicken.com. Amy is a mother of two little boys who keeps it real while writing about pregnancy. Her kids must keep real busy cause she only posts once a month. Fun fact: on technorati, her blog is ranked 78437. She frequently speaks in an informal voice so I wouldn't consider it scholarly but the insight she offers is still valuable. She says in her Welcome post, "Now that my two sons are here and I'm no longer pregnant I look back on that time with anger,"which, though sad for her, provides her readers with clever infotainment.

Amy writes in a recent content-rich post, how some films are just off limits during pregnancy. Her opening remarks are loaded with informal personality.

Some movies are pretty obvious that they are going to upset me – I don't think many people went in thinking Schindler's List was a comedy – but it's the ones that blindside you that really piss me off. Here I'm thinking I'm going to see a cool flick and a baby ends up drowning in a bathtub. Why the hell is that even necessary?! 

Turns out, PreggoStyle and pregnantchicken are both movie buffs, but with different takes. One of my recent posts, recommends movies that pregnant woman should watch. Amy takes a darker route and discuses films you shouldn't watch while pregnant. Worthy nominees include: Rosemary's Baby, KIDS, and The Omen. Check out this post for the full list.

Legit, laughed out loud at this random post not related at all to pregnancy! Amy's writing style is so brillant, you can really imagine the story unfolding in front of your eyes. Her relatable anecdotes  thought process, and specific details are what make her readers keep reading.

So I go up to an employee setting up and say, "Excuse me, I'm supposed to do a meet and greet thing with Penguin Canada. I was told to check in." It is in these situations where I truly string together the most incoherent sentences imaginable. Like the time I said, "Can you help me get to be there?" When I was trying to board a ferry. I think it's safe to say I don't do well with transitions.

I like the idea of writing on a topic other than pregnancy once in a while. After reading this post, I feel more inspired to write personal stories on my blog.

After exploring pregnantchicken, I definitely think their target audience is pregnant woman and parents with young children. I could see myself coming back to this blog regularly and so should you. It's a wonderful resource and always good for a laugh!
