Do you think Elizabeth Gardner on WRAL is pregnant again? I think we are going to be hearing the announcement soon.

(At least, I hope so. If not, I'm sure glad that I am anonymous so that no one sees me sticking my foot in my mouth!!

I imagine she'd be more offended to be called a "weathergirl" (as opposed to "meteorologist") than she would to be thought pregnant, if she's not!
But, considering the "image" that on-air personalities must uphold, I would suspect that if she looks it, she is. Her bio on the TV website might even mention it.

A thread speculating on a "weathergirl's" preganancy? <shudder>

She's a degreed meteorologist.

I do not think she is. She just looks like it when she wears that pink A-line suit jacket. I thought she might be the first time she wore it. But she wore something more fitted after. I saw her wearing the pink suit jacket again today and I was thinking it would start rumors

BTW, weathergirl is not pc

Weather guy would probably be more accepted

to all of the negative comments - blech.

when and why people have babies is their business, period.

everyone in my family had their babies "later in life", it worked out well for us.

I am sure, if she is, she will let the "public" know when she is ready.

Ughh -- the scrutiny women have to endure!

Wow...it never amazes me how far things go. I did not feel like the original poster meant anything by saying the meteorologist being pregnant. And I am sure she did not mean any harm by calling her the "w" word.

Give her a break =)

"Weathergirls" are either attractive women without meteorology degrees who are hired to merely read the teleprompter and look pretty OR a group that recorded a fun tune about men falling from the sky. Elizabeth Gardner is neither.
