We had our first ultrasound appointment yesterday... on April Fool's Day. It was just too much for me to resist spreading the news on Facebook. To watch the vacillations unfold between congratulations and disbelief was an irresistible lure and proved highly enjoyable! Thanks for entertaining me friends!
And for all you disbelievers out there, here is my indisputable proof:
We are only 9 weeks along and baby still looks a bit embryonic. She/he is due November 3rd, 2011 (our first non-summer baby- yay for Mommy!). We are really excited, not just for the baby, but as this (most likely) marks the final stage of our baby days. And while it is a little sad, it is also thrilling to know that we can begin to purge the hoard of baby things we have accumulated over the years, the likes of which our little house is having a hard time accommodating! Clothing amassed in all sizes and genders, baby swings, tubs, bouncers, jumpers, cribs, crib bedding, back carriers, front carriers, toys, tricycles, strollers, high chairs, booster chairs, baby carseats, transitional carseats, pack n' plays... It's a veritable menagerie of baby care over here and Doug is thrilled that a less-cluttered garage is on the horizon! Mommy is thrilled that diaper-less, more self-sufficient children are on the horizon!

Congratulations! I was definitely a disbeliever. I'm very happy for you.
Oh wow! I'm SOOO excited for you. I do have to say, out of the 3 that announced a pregnancy yesterday (one my age!), I had an inkling of belief in yours. But knowing the source (yes, you SCREAM "prankster") and not seeing the info printed at the top like there usually is was just enough to keep me thinking it was a joke. ;)
hahaha...that's hilarious! congrats to you and your family! i will say kim and i were trying to figure out if yours was true or not at the park yesterday. had me fooled! :)
Congratulations! It's funny; when I saw the announcement on FB, it didn't even occur to me that you might be joking--I totally took it at face value! You were the only one of the April 1 announcers who also posted an ultrasound image...
What great news! Aaron came home and said there was a facebook mention but he was a bit skeptical. I too look forward to #4 and last for the same reasons you mentioned. Don't look for it any time soon though. We're just enjoying Carter!
Congrats! It was so great to have you post on April fools! So can I call dibs on all your boy stuff...that is if you are just going to get rid of it...that is of course if this is a little girl with a heartbeat of 169! :) Do you remember the days they would try and determine gender by the heartrate? Not that either of us were having babies at that time. Wow, diarrhea of the keyboard! :)
Ooh la la! I'm excited for you guys! So glad you posted it here...since I'm hardly on fb.
So Baby Hylton is getting promoted to big brother! Guess I need to get with the facebook action to keep up to date. Congratulations! All your kids are so stinkin cute I can't wait to see what the next is like! (Nice flashback, Brandy, with the heartrate comment. Glad we don't rely on that anymore. I was declared to be a boy in utero with that method. My parents were pretty surprised when a 9+lb girl came out!)
