The trap is set, and we wait. Yes, that's right, as with this same day last year (not that you would know, since I'm a bad blogger) I have announced on Facebook that we're pregnant, again, you know, even though our baby is only 4 months old. This is what I put as my status update, "
What happens when a married solider gets R&R in February? That's right, he gets a Halloween baby. I guess the whole, "breast feeding isn't a reliable form of birth control" thing was true after all. Too late to listen now!"
Last year, when we announced we were expecting baby #1, due on Thanksgiving day, on April 1st, 5 people believed me. The fact that so many believed was astonishing, considering that we've pulled this gag at least 3 times a year for 5 years. Can you blame us though? Let's face it, when you know what one or more of your LDS family members are going to ask you every time they see you after you've been married for 6 months, you have to make it fun, otherwise you want to scream and move across country, without telling them. :)
"So... When are you going to start having kids?"
"Well, we're pregnant now, we've just been keeping it on the down low."
"Oh?! When are you do? That's so exciting!"
"We're due in about....oh...22 months, Lela's really an elephant in disguise."
So, last year we bucked the trend, we told the truth on April Fools Day. Maybe we redeemed ourselves on the baby front, showing our family and friends that we can be honest about being pregnant, but I hope to squash any ounce of redemption we've gained because I want to always keep them on their toes.
So, the trap has been set, the bate is on the trap, and now's the fun part, because now we wait...
