The expectant mom on the cover of the new, revised edition of the 25-year-old "bible" on childbirth, What to Expect When You're Expecting, is wearing jeans, standing up, showing off her belly with a proud smile. "She's off her rocker, finally!" author Heidi Murkoff wrote in an e-mail interview of the hot mama fronting the fourth edition of the influential book, which Murkoff first co-authored in 1984.

They will mark the occasion with laughter and lumps in their throat and maybe smuggle in a flask or two to give the place a proper sendoff.

When I read reports that more than 47 million Americans have no medical insurance, I realize I'm extremely blessed.
