Having a good "work ethic" does not imply that Anna (or any other woman in the entertainment industry) should restrict herself from having children. If she wants to expand her family, that is a decision that only she and her husband can make, and it does not reflect poorly on her work ethic. By all accounts, she has done all that she was physically capable of doing while she was pregnant - and I believe the courtroom scene in "Sleight Out of Hand" was filmed just a few
weeks after she gave birth.
However I may feel about the show's handling of her pregnancies, there's no arguing that Anna worked hard while she was pregnant and after she gave birth. I think that's a perfect example of good work ethic.
BTW, I don't think I've posted on this topic recently, so I thought I'd comment on what others have said to suggest that Anna might
not be pregnant and that we've been jumping to conclusions. I agree that the pictures we're basing this pregnancy assumption on could just be blamed on the camera angle and/or the dress she was wearing (or having a bit of a tummy bulge, which is
certainly okay). I think people jump to the pregnancy conclusion because she's already had two children while working for the show. Plus, I remember people commenting on a promo picture from season three and how they thought she looked pregnant
way before I noticed anything, and they turned out to be right. :lol: It's very possible that she's not pregnant right now. Considering how private the members of this cast tend to be, we might not know for a while even if she is.
It's certainly not intended as an insult to wonder, but I can see why people would be uncomfortable with the speculation. Unfortunately, the nature of the internet and fan boards and the lack of topics to discuss over the hiatus means that we're more likely to chew over a topic ad nauseam, even if we know it might just be an incorrect speculation.
