I loved the exploration of Carrie and Frannie, it was just enough to appease those of us who liked the baby storyline without becoming the Mommy and Me show. (And to a previous poster, they didn't add the pregnancy b/c Claire Danes was pregnant, Claire and Carrie were not pregnant at the same time.)
Also, I remember when Carrie told Brody she was pregnant she said something like "There will be a life, and I'm not sorry for that, not for one second." So on some level she DID want the baby but yes, obviously she didn't think any further than wanting to still have a piece of Brody with her. She avoiding dealing with having to actually raise the child.
