I got about 40 of yall, and only published the comments of those who forgot it was April Fools Day. The other 120 or so weren't fooled. I published those late last night. It was funny reading the range of responses from "AGAIN?!" to "Wow, you're on your way to having a true Mormon family..." to a few sad faces. Sorry if it offended anyone. Seriously. I know pregnancy is a touchy subject for some people and that wasn't the purpose, the purpose was to make you laugh, which I think most everyone totally got. Especially ones who forgot about the date for a moment or Googled "positive pregnancy tests."
Good news is one of my readers, someone who comments on almost every single one of my posts--Even the lame ones where no one comments found out SHE'S pregnant yesterday, after trying for 11 months! So congratulations to Toi! I didn't believe her at first, and she didn't get why. So show her some love when you get a chance!
One of my friends pretend-chopped off her finger and freaked her husband out. My husband and I changed our relationship status on Facebook to "open relationship," which got curious responses. Did you or your kids pull any pranks?
21 remarks:
So funny. I thought Toi was joking too. I'm SUPER glad she wasnt!!!
I wanted to post on FB and on OK DANI that I was preggo yesterday, but hubby nixed it. He said it would be "bad juju" lol.
I didn't agree but because he had a strong feeling on it, I didn't post it.
I hope you do change your mind though, I'd like to read/see your thoughts on your 2nd pregnancy, just like you did with pregnancy #1.
Have a great weekend girlie,
xo,
Dani

Oh you totally got me! LOL I forgot. I think to make it up to those of us who fell for it and feel stupid you should really get pregnant...
While I did not fall for your post, my own dear mother (who had her last child at 40 - 8 years ago!) send us this email:
"Dear Girls,
I'm writing to let you know that in spite all of our precautions, your father and I are expecting another child due September 10th. I didn't tell anyone (especially not your Nana) until we were safely through the first trimester. Dr. Reed says that it's another boy (yeah, right). The sonogram was fun; it really took me back to when I was expecting James.
(....)
Please check the date of this email since I'm sure it will let you know that I am only pulling your leg. "
She got her desired reaction- namely, me freaking out (at work) until I finished the email. My coworkers absolutely died laughing. So, the pregnancy gag is apparently still an extremely valid April Fools gag. :)
Hahahah!!! You are too funny! I totally forgot it was April Fool's Day!
yikes i was surprised at those reactions on your blog... i thought it was hilarious, because i really wasnt sure if it was true or not!
good gag, I got a good laugh of it at least :)
forget all those haters, I think youre stellar.
good luck on the babymaking anyways !
As I scrolled down to the bottom, I saw that no one had said anything about april fools, and I thought, "how can this possibly be? None of J's other readers thought about this being an april fools joke?" So I guess, in a way, you did get me :)
Thanks for mentioning me in your post. You are adorable darling :)! Thank you.
I pulled that stunt on my family a few years ago. It never fails to trip people up, at least momentarily.
I changed my husband's Facebook profile picture to one of Kobe Bryant, since he hates him so much.
You got me!! As for my kids, I teach and I got one of my colleagues. He asked me to cover his class so he could step out for a moment. I told the kids to hide. You should have seen them run around the room trying to find a good hiding place. It was cute to watch from my perspective. I still stand by my post....Babies are such a blessing.
LOL good stuff. You weren't the only one that pulled that trick:) I was also so very excited for TOI. AT least one of them were real!;)
See, I knew you were far too practical for that!
I didn't do anything for April Fool's since I hate it when people get me, but my husband put up a status update saying our new sonogram showed we were having twins. He got a couple people with it, but my mom was too sharp for that ;)
You would've fooled me if I hadn't seen this post first. :-) I definitely wasn't going to play that joke on my blog readers...especially it's almost impossible to get pg while not having intercourse. ROFL
Hi there! I've been a follower of yours for some time but am just now leaving you a comment! I had to laugh when I read this post because, sadly, I was one of the many who forgot what day it was when I saw those BFP's! Now that I know the joke is on me, I laugh. :)
I absolutely love your blog and LOVE your adorable baby girl! I'm a new mother to a 6-month-old baby girl myself, and it's the best feeling in the world. There's nothing more fun than dressing her in the girliest of colors and forming that oh-so-special mother/daughter bond!
Feel free to stop by my blog sometime! I'd love to have you as a follower, too! And way to go with the awesome April Fool's joke--you definitely got me! ;)

Of course I completely forgot what date it was yesterday! Aw.
Aww, what?? bummer!! i was so happy for you too!! x
Yes, I am so excited for TOI also. I thought she was also joking and I'm glad to see that she is not. Such a blessing for her and her hubby. You didn't fool me. I remembered it was April Fool's Dy and remember you mentioning in a previous post that you would be more private next time. :)
I told my parents I was pregnant. They didn't really believe me. I told them again on April 2. :-)
I thought it was funny! No one should be offended.
Your daughter ist such a cute Baby. I love all the photos of her! Kids are a real blessing! I have three. (Tried to work on my real Mormon family...lol).
Have a wondeful week!
Hug´s,
Verena
