Check out MckMama's blog for everyone's Monday confessional. Here's mine...
I did not fret all day yesterday about how I would tell my husband that I was pregnant... I did not finally decide to just leave the digital test (I am smart enough to know that the two lines would have confused him) laying on the bathroom counter, only to have him totally be oblivious to it for a couple of hours. The kids and I did not all try many times to get him to go into the bathroom (Sophia even got him to kill a little bug ON THE SAME COUNTER! without him noticing!) I did not finally lose all patience, and at my friend Karla's suggestion put the test on the computer keyboard, where he would be sure to see it. When he still hadn't said anything an hour later AND the test was missing, we did not have the following conversation...
Me: hey, uh, what'd you do with that pregnancy test?
Him: What pregnancy test?
Me: the one on the keyboard!
Him: Oh, I threw it out. [this says nothing about how many stray pregnancy tests are laying around our house at any given time]
Me: did you look at it?!
Him: [still completely clueless] um, no.
Me: [stunned, speechless] uh.... well.... um.... [under my breath] maybe you should get it...
Him: what did you say?
Me: [completely flustered] I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!
This did not remind me of the time that I planned to suprise this same husband with news of Sophia's pregnancy. The time that he was across town with his brother for the whole day, and I ever so casually said "hey, Honey, want to come home for lunch?" To which he replied "why, are you pregnant?" ruining any chance of me suprising him.
It did not also remind me of the time that I planned to break the news of Amelia's pregnancy to him by putting a Big Sister t-shirt on Sophia. That did not end in this conversation
Me: [many hours after putting the shirt on her] have you noticed Sophia's shirt?
Him: no...
Me: oh, well check it out!
Him: hm, that's cute.
Me: READ IT!!
Him: [staring, confused] why... huh? she's not a big sister...
Me: Uh.... [speechless] well.... she's GOING TO BE!
Him: [staring, confused] Oh!!!!!! Are you PREGNANT?!
Me: YES!
I did not decide in hindsight that I should have just written I'M PREGNANT on a baseball bat and hit him over the head with it. Oh no, there's NO WAY a thought like that would even cross my mind.

LOLOLOL! Ok, Vera...seriously...nearly falling out of my chair here I'm laughing so hard!
(I think the baseball bat might be your best option...haha)
Summer
I'm not sure if he would catch on to the baseball bat. Hehehe. That is hysterical that he has messed it up every single time you've tried to surprise him. Silly hubby.
I am still super excited for you! Are you feeling well?
Okay this was hysterical!!!!!! Men and their attention (or lack thereof) to detail!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
So funny Vera...love this!
Oh, yeah, totally laughing. Maybe you should have a large banner made next time and hang it on the outside of your house. Man can they be dense! The Uh, duh! element that's repeated throuhgout your experiences is definitely... "priceless."
Oh, and CONGRATS!!!
What adorable memories! Praying for you today that you will rest in the peace of God and that the joy of Him will strengthen you today. God Bless.
LOL...sometimes you just have to spell it out for them...in a more obvious and straightforward way! They tend not to see subtle nuances. ;)
Congratulations!
