Not one of the favorites that you have posted. Fact, I would probably put it at the very bottom of my list. I have REALLY liked most of the ones you have shown, especially the Hoffman Christmas ones with the cardinals. Got to get them.

As for the phrase "knocked up", it doesn't carry a real positive connotation in my opinion. If someone were to refer to me as being "knocked up" when I was pregnant, I would of taken offense.

Maybe it's the baby boomers that feel this way, I don't know, but knocked up is definitely in poor taste to me.
It sounds like something that was done TO you, instead of something you chose. Or a mistake you made.
I'd be offended myself.
OTOH, these younger kids, like my dd's...who knows? Maybe they don't see it the same way? As a quilter, i would never choose it to make a gift with.
I wouldn't even want the words morning sickness on a gift to me. Don't remind me!!! :-D
