Unless you've been living under a breast pump, which, let's face it, some of us are, you probably know that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become engaged.
And if you're like me, you stopped what you were doing the second you found out via a CNN push notification on your phone, and freaked out. Because. This. Is. Awesome. News.

Forget about analyzing why you care so much about a royal engagement that couldn't have less to do with your own life. Here are 5 reasons every mom from New Jersey to London is basically obsessed with the upcoming wedding between Harry and Meghan:

At 36, Meghan Markle is about our age, moms! So, is it totally out of the question that maybe we could still meet a prince and become royalty" Especially since she's American. I don't think so! Except we?re already married. But whatever. The royal engagement equals something to obsess over other than whether our kids pooped today. As more details about how Harry proposed, and how they met, and their wedding plans emerge, we moms are offered an escape from the sometimes humdrum aspects of our day. Indeed, the design of Meghan's engagement ring is the perfect subject to contemplate during nap time.
If you?re pregnant, the couple?s May wedding could coincide with your due date. Which would be amazing. And almost as memorable as having a baby the same day Kate Middleton gives birth to her third child.
The royal engagement is a good reminder for our husbands...
