Ok, I have a doctor’s appointment today and I think I can use it to my advantage. I want to come up with an April Fool’s joke that will really get my husband, but I don’t want to alarm him. I don’t think he’d believe twins, and I don’t want to scare him by saying something about fetal distress and having to induce labor today. Any ideas?
Well if he won’t believe twins, I guess he won’t believe Siamese twins either…
I’ve been privately advised not to do a joke about the baby, and it’s probably good advice, because if something DOES happen, I don’t want to be the girl who cried wolf. Maybe I could think of someone he doesn’t want to have anything to do with and say he or she is coming to the shower on Saturday. Hmm…
Tell him the doctor said absolutely no “lovey-dovey” for at least a year. That’ll get him for sure.
Hee hee!! A year is a bit long. I think now until I heal after the baby is born is long enough to make him sweat. Thanks for the idea.
The doctor quizzed you and you failed your Lamaze so you have to take it again. A cram course.
The doctor says your husband has to gown-up and glove-in and help deliver the baby.
The doctor says you can hear the baby singing if you listen real close.
Start casually knitting white and blue socks, size 8 1/2, tell the father it’s for him, and you expect him to wear them at work.
Pretend you have a sudden crave for pickled gherkins, with [/b]emeralds[/b] at the bottom of the jar, otherwise they just don’t taste the same…
Actually, John and Paul, my husband is so sweet that none of that stuff would bother him.
I am such a wimp. I ruined it. My doctor appointment was postponed until tomorrow because the doctor was in the OR and they didn’t have another one available today (geez). I could have not told him about that. But I told him, because something to be taken seriously happened today (I have been having a whole lot of Braxton Hicks (sp?) contractions, sometimes three in five or ten minutes) and the fact that I didn’t go to the doctor today was significant. I didn’t want April Fools Day to overshadow actual stuff. Oh well. No labor yet, though, thank goodness.
Three B-H contractions in five minutes? Jessie, WHEN is that baby due again? Sounds like he/she may be thinking about sooner rather than later. Or maybe it’s just the baby’s idea of an April Fools joke.

I think it IS the baby’s idea of an April Fools joke. She’s due four weeks from yesterday.
