So, I'm not sure how well the whole April Fool's pregnancy announcement worked.

No one so far has responded with disbelief. I may have included a bit too much verification (in the form of a link to lemurbaby's journal) in the k5 journal entry.

No one has responded at all to the wastelanders post, which I find vaguely surprising. Perhaps this is because they think I'm joking. Perhaps everyone already knew. Perhaps they just don't care.

I really hope that they thought I was just April Fooling, so that when I post that the baby was born, people will freak out. That would be fun. (What's the point in being pregnant if you can't use it as an opportunity to mess with people's minds? I wish I were about 6 inches shorter. Then I could easily make myself look like a pregnant teenagers. Unfortunately, being tall means that I don't look pregnant and that I tend to look older than a teenager).

Unfortunately, I suspect they all already knew, and are just being rotten bastards by not acknowledging the post :)

It wasn't intended as an April Fool's joke, but -

I am not the world's most regular correspondent (well, I was pretty good until my second child was born, and then it all went in the dumper). My 3 older kids were all Summer babies (June, August and July), which meant that I knew I was pregnant in time to send that message out with the holiday greetings in December. My youngest, however, was conceived in January - so that meant the first a lot of folks heard about him was when they received his birth announcement in October. The stunned phone calls/cards/letters *were* fun. And, of course, when asked why I hadn't said anything, I could always say, "Well, if you'd written to me, I could've let you know in my reply."
