My little's blog's namesake

As all who have read my sidebar know, the name of this blog comes from parking signs that can be found all over Chile. Parking signs reserved for expecting moms. On our recent trip there I got some nice pics of the signs, so I could post there here for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
A classic...

which is part of a larger sign....
and, finally, a twist on the classic ("exclusively for", instead of "reserved for")...


Oh, and by the way, they also have a decent parental leave in Chile. Everyone was so shocked at how abysmal our parental leave laws are in the U.S.

I really prefer the stick mama with the hair, even though the other one has a more realistic shape.

Thanks for sharing!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing. It's so strange how different things life issues, like pregnancy, are treated in various cultures.

There are a few parking spaces like that around here.

That is definitely a great way to get a blog title!

I love the graphics - the signs around here (boringly in English) have storks on them...

I love that you used this name.

as an aside, I was on facebook (not a member, so just visiting), and read a horrible group discussion about this issue here in the US. it got nasty and resulted in one mother calling another woman a "sad bitter infertile" because she was critical of those spaces. ug-ly.

I love how on the second sign she looks like she is carrying three babies, one on top of the other all the way down to her knees. Heehee
