5 Weeks and April Fool's

So a certain aunt and uncle who live in Missouri have been requesting some new pictures. Again, these are taken with our webcam (we are having some serious issues with our digital camera), but we are having some real pictures taken this weekend, so there are more to come! When I started out taking these she was wide awake and content, then I was mean and took her pacifier away-since it doesn't match her outfit, of course ;) and then I gave it back and she fell asleep. The only pacifier she will take is the Soothies kind, and it is a little awkward and heavy so she learned how to hold it in her mouth with her hand at almost one week. It is pretty funny.

Now that I stay at home with Emma, I get to have time for some of the things I always wanted to do. For instance, I have the time to enjoy silly little holidays, like April Fool's Day. Yesterday morning when I was up feeding Emma I changed our clock an hour ahead. At 6:30 Jared woke up, checked the clock and got up to get ready for work, thinking it was 7:30. I stopped him before he actually got ready, but I knew if I didn't get him first thing in the morning before he remembered it was April Fool's, I would never get him. I was happy at that, but after he went to work I had another idea...

I went to the dollar store and bought a pregnancy test and then I went and visited one of my pregnant friends who was nice enough to take the test. She put it back in the box and back in the dollar store bag. I got home a few minutes after Jared got home from work and had the bag with the pregnancy test in it. I sheepishly told him that I just "wanted to make sure" and went in the bathroom to "take the test". I let it sit for a few minutes in the bathroom, went and got it and had him take a look at it. I am married to a very good man, because he was a little shocked, but took it in stride. We joked a little about being able to have two new tax deductions for 2009, and he asked Emma if she wanted a little sister or little brother. I finally told him after about an hour and we were both happy that it was a joke. Anyway, I got him and it was hilarious! I'm a little nervous for next year's April Fool's Day, though, because I bet he cooks up something even better!
