Pregnancy

Good choice of phrase!

I was watching A Baby Story earlier and the mum in it was a not-very-tall woman expecting twins.

She was an Air Force nurse and was being presented, late in her pregnancy, with an award for outstanding service over and above the call of duty etc - her superior officer used a phrase like " always going the extra mile".

As she was actually being presented with the medal, almost entirely circular, leaning back to balance the enormous bump at the front, they cut to the officer serving under her who solemnly described her as "a well-rounded individual". LOL!
