I’ve lived in fear of this moment my whole life.
Well, since I was 16, anyway.
Girls, you know which one I mean…
THIS moment:
I suppose I’ve sort of suspected for a while now. I’ve had Aunt Flo come late before, but I haven’t missed a whole month since track in high school. I’m sick every morning, I feel horrible all day… I never knew it would be liked this.
But at the same time, I also thought I would be completely terrified. And yes, I’m scared, but I’m also… kind of excited. Like maybe this was meant to happen… maybe it’s time for me to DO something with my life.
B, my love, my darling… I know some people will think I’m crazy for telling you this way, on here. But this blog has been such a part of us… I’ve documented when we met, when we first had the sex, when we fell in love, when we moved in together. It just felt right that this, once of the biggest announcements of our lives, should be here as well.
I know it won’t be easy. I know it wasn’t in our plans. But they say life never goes according to plan, right?
We’re young, yes, but we’re not really kids anymore. We’re 25 and in love, and it just seems like… maybe this is something we have to do. After all, when my mother was my age, they were married and I was almost 1.
So what do you say, my darling?
Are you ready to be… a Daddy?
Update:
From my comment below…
All right, all right. I think you’ve suffered long enough, those of you who didn’t realize just how tricksy I can be. (That picture really didn’t tip you off? I thought it was cheesy enough, but…)
I am most decidedly NOT PREGGERS.
To everyone who was devastated at NOT getting to drink with me, never fear. I will be boozing it up strong for years to come.
And for the record, if I really was pregnant? Lemmonex and I would standing at the top of a looooong flight of stairs after carefully placing wire hangers on every third step.
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!

and i understand your fear – i’d be scared too – but EEEEEK i am excited for you!!!
If so, then congratulations!
Miniature LiLu and B, I don’t think the world is quite ready for it but I think you two would be great parents.
Hugs from the Thrills darlin’.
-huge grin-
So I guess that was your last happy hour last night for a while huh?
You’d totally have had me …
… if today wasn’t April Fool’s.
That is like the sweetest news I heard all day. Congrats girlie!:)
april fools anyone?
liar.
uh, april fools………???
bueller??
Wait a minute, today is April Fool’s Day. And this is something I’d pull.
Hell, it’s something I thought of pulling (asking the girlfriend to marry me, not saying we’re having a baby).
-looks at her in suspicion-
April Fools! Cheeky girl!
Hehe, I believed you for a second
Happy April’s Fool to you, too!
Hmm…April fools me thinks! but it would be a pretty funny way to tell him if it was true! xx
If I wasnt so hungover I would have a witty April fools comment…
but I am.
So I hope your first child is a masculine child.
I hope the baby likes beer! Great to see you last night.
I’m siding with the april fools crowd
hee! Good one.
I can’t believe all of these insensitive people wouldn’t take you seriously. Shame on all of you!
And I thought I told you to play up the “too drunk to pee on the stick” angle. Jeez.
I’m siding with the April Fools crowd too… Mostly because you haven’t come back yet to tell them it IS true…
Congrats to you and B if it really is true!
Fooled me! I was all ready for wise counsel and whatnot; am glad everyone copped to it before I got here!
I truly feel this is the only thing I could never even joke about. You would be throwing me down a set of stairs in a hot second.
I pulled this one on my mom once. Came home from school, ate a jar of pickles, burst into tears.
I had a hell of a stomachache, but I still think it was worth it.
LiLu you had me at positive- but then I realized what today was… this better be no joke…
Priceless! Well done. Happy April 1.
Dude – THAT would be a HORRIBLE way to break the news! Happy April 1!
Thank goodness my father called to remind me today is April Fool’s, otherwise, I would be spouting out the congratulations right now!
You totally had me until that daddy photo. Priceless, that one!
You had me going until, “DO something with my life.” Then I knew you were joking. Ha ha. Anyway, it was really cute. Luv u!
My heart leapt to my throat, and then I looked at the calendar.
Nice one.
Girl .. you are a FIRECRACKER .. that pic reminds me of my prego test times .. yea i bought EVERY single bulk package on the shelf .. WalMArT and CVS loved me that day . My wallet ? not so much ,. those biotches are exPENsiiiive …
Happy April fooooools day … umm does this mean i can act like a foool ?????
=)
Wah wah wahhhhhhh.
If this is an April Fools Joke – good one!!!! I would totally expect you to share it with us in this manner any who.
If it’s for real – CONGRATS!!!! I saw a Baby snuggie the other day that will be PERFECT.
If this is April’s Fools, congrats, you had me completely and entirely fooled.
If it is not, congrats, and OMGZ!!!1!
Yeah, no. I feel like there would be more terror and screaming in your post if this were true. That’s the way it would be for me. You were too calm and collected.
Yeah…..I’m going with April Fools myself.
Hahahaha.. I love how I’m just reading this now. We’re sick.
April Fool’s Day – Game. Set. Match. You.
Well played, madam. It was great meeting you last night!
Two seconds later…I remembered the date. Very funny.
B already calls me Daddy when you’re away, so it’ll be nice to have him hear it for a change.
I totally believed it too…
maybe this is why my senior year superlative was most gullible???
nothing like a good preggo joke to get the morning started.
Ha I love you. Who pee’d on the sticks? Or is that just from flikr or something? I actually did pee on a stick the other day but thank the lord it was negatory.
Anyway, you can’t be pregnant because there are drinks in our future.
Stupid cell phone commenting – that wasn’t supposed to be anonymous.
YAAAY FOR BABIES!
good one…
pregnancy seems to be surrounding me. there must be something in the water. EEEK!
good girl!
let’s go drink to celebrate.
I tried to pull that one off last year. And I felt bad because one of my friends actually LEFT WORK to come comfort me. She was not pleased.
girls need to come up with better jokes on April fools day. you can almost smell predictability of a pregnancy scare.
that being said, is it terrible that i wish some days to wake up and have this be true?
You had me for a second, I felt a bit of panic, then I remembered the date.
If I were B, I would be so pissed that this is how I found out. Oh wait, I’d have a girlfriend that I’d be having sex with, so maybe not so pissed. OK new tactic.
I don’t know if I should dignify this April Fool’s joke with a response. Oh shit, I’m commenting aren’t I.
You make women make it too difficult to stay mad at you.
wait…. is this an april fools prank…. it must be…. right??
ps – dont forget to enter my giveaway!

If anyone falls for this block them from reading or commenting ever again.
I love that you did this. And the picture at the bottom? Adorable.
congratulations
not – april fool
(this was a good one)
I am with the April Fools Crowd on this one………
I am SUCH a sucker.
If this is an April Fool’s prank Ms. Lilu, I would be very careful… life is watching and has a very twisted sense of humor… this could earn you twins. ;-D
…and if it isn’t a prank, I got dibs on calling January 1st as the due date guesstimate!
That was hilarious, but at first I thought you had gone just a little too far with the whole raw “honesty” thing. I’m glad someone told us what day it is.
APRIL FOOLS!!!
Nice try. I almost believed you. However I wasn’t born yesterday.
I was, however, born on a Tuesday.
Now that’s a good April Fool’s joke. Nice!
April Fools?
If no, then congratulations!
Happy April’s Fool’s to you too!!
Oh, you joker you.
Ohhhh my gosh. I was totally about to start jumping up and down with excitement/freakoutedness for you.
And then I remembered what day it is.
You are GOOOOD.
Hahahahaaaaa!!!
If he doesn’t kill you for this, marry him.
I was just about to hop over to Etsy and order you a congratulations on your new baby present, but then I glanced at my calendar and remembered that today was April Fool’s Day!
Oh you sneaky little so-and-so. I got SO excited for you…then realized it happens to be that one day a year when you can be a total liar and not be called a bitch for it. Well I’m calling you out!!!
I’ll admit it. Totally had me until I started reading the comments. Well played Madam.
If true, however, I hope you warned any of your family members who read of your daily exploits.
I feel like such a sucker. But in a good way.
Naughty!
…but nice
HOLY SHIT!
I shall start knitting misshapen baby items immediately!
haha I loved reading the above comments to see who believed and who thinks it’s april fools.
congrats either way– on being prego OR on having a fabulous april fools prank
I agree with surviving myself. anyone that believes this should be hit over the head with a 2×4.
What are those little sticks in the picture, some new type of iPod?
SOOO is you or isn’t you??? I was actually getting all teary eyed, and then I was like, wait a tick. It’s April freaking 1st.
I like that the tag to this is “Driving the bus to hell” insert school in front of bus and you will have it!
alright, i like that even tho my post was a “im preggo, april fools!” post, i still think you might be. you’re not, right? cause if you are, i’m freaking excited, but sad that i missed last night because now when are we going to drink together?! we’d have to wait until you can pump and dump. but you’re not…
…right?
All right, all right. I think you’ve suffered long enough, those of you who didn’t realize just how tricksy I can be.
I am most decidedly NOT PREGGERS.
To everyone who was devastated at NOT getting to drink with me, never fear. I will be boozing it up strong for years to come.
And for the record, if I really was pregnant? Lemmonex and I would standing at the top of a looooong flight of stairs after carefully placing wire hangers on every third step.
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!

I know this is an April Fool’s thing…
…but I’m wondering if I should start getting the ball rolling on a DNA test anyway.
you’re a bitch. i totally fell for this. lol
Happy April Fools!
Haha. You know I found out I was pregnant with my first on April Fools day. I thought the doctor was pulling my leg when he told me the rabbit died.
Best April Fools Joke Ever — if it’s not, and you really told your partner you were pregnant on your blog –you are way cold:)
You are a great trickster!! You had me!!!
Hahaha and this is my first and funniest April for today
Funny – I was all ready with the congrats (or condolences) and everything!
xo
This is the 3rd pregnancy announcement today.
I smell trickery.
If I am wrong… then CONGRATS!! I <3 babies!!!
You had me going for a minute… nicely done.
And nice to meet you yesterday if only for a minute.
I sweat I thought you was… I had already started telling everyone Lilu was having a lil-lilu or lilu-lette… : )
Seriously?!?! Holy shit! Congratulations!
Are you going to the doctor soon to get tested?
hmmmm… prove it.
I want an unaltered youtube video of you peeing on a stick.
if you can put the stanky leg and B doing Lispter Milan then you can pee on a stick for us all to see.
If I’m wrong, I’m sorry… a little.
I’m still laughing at your post’s title.
but. but, i wanted to be the god mum.
Awwww… and here I was thinking while you’re announcing the baby growing inside you, I just announced when my baby was born on my blog. LOL an April Fools baby. gotta love ‘em! tee hee.
My mouth is still agape. April Fools? If not, then congrats?!
Seriously, mouth still agape.
Still open.
And finally closed.
False alarm, still open. Probably will be until April 2nd, and we learn the truth!
I just wanted to be comment 100. SUCKAS!
April Fools! Wait, I really was. I’m not good at this.
A baby would have increased B’s poop references. I’m kinda disappointed.
i read this thinking ”please don’t be pregnant, please don’t be preagnant”
and then Princess Bhuto reminded me of the date!!
Happy April fools!!
Ya know, this may be the first time I’ve wandered over to your blog – sorry? – but this is clearly an April Fools joke (and one that I debated pulling on my boyfriend).
No one thought it was an April Fool’s joke when I told then I gave them Herpes. In case you didn’t know – German hookers have a bad sense of humor and take everything so seriously.
I’m calling April Fools on this one…
Pretty, pretty bay-ah-bee!
If I’m wrong, I’m an asshole and CONGRATS.
i knew it! you never have toilet paper, why would you waist valuable TP as a resting place for your tests?!?!
Congratulations. I think you made the right decision.
april fools!
besides if one more twenty-something gets knocked up i’m going to throw myself from a window…..from the first floor of my house.
I am quite suspicious about this news…
I can’t believe people got passed the pic and thought you were.
Love the pics….great joke…
haha, this made my day. i was wading through all the stuff in my reader i really don’t want to actually read, and then i saw this.
i’m hoping you’re kidding in lieu of the holiday, but if not, ‘grats and well…good luck
You’re too much! I only wish I had read this earlier and laughed sooner.
when you actually do get pregnant, you better fucking name it kenny powers
You had me until some point during the telling of B when I realized it was all a little too shady
At first I was falling for it but then I looked at my calendar and remembered it’s April Fools! This is a goodie though. I wonder if I could pull this over on the hubs tonight?? I think I’m gonna give it a try.
Smooth move. You had me going for awhile. I will say, if you ever tell your boyfriend over your blog you’re knocked up…you have WAY bigger balls than I do.
You almost had me as well.
Well played! I might have believed you if it wasnt April Fools. Just watch out cause karma’s a bitch! My hubs and I were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary – talking about how we had no idea how hard parenthood would be on us after we had our first child. During this conversation I was not feeling well at dinner. A couple days later I found out that I was pregnant, AGAIN! And guess what, the due date – April Fool’s Day. Today is my second son’s 4th birthday, yes he was infact born on his due date – truly an April Fools baby.
Loved it… all though I knew it when i first read it… I was planning on having my friend pee on a stick for me but didn’t want to give john a heartattack…
PLUS… we’re thinkin bout comin up for the blogger meet up! and if you can’t drink with us… well that would be a down right SHAME!!!
this has got to be april fools
Well done, either way.
Oh, WOW! Congratulations!!
wait …. april fool’s has truly made me a fool.
fail whale.
Nothing like 122 comments to boost a great April Fools prank
Nicely played.
I’m way late to this party. But I was flat-out sold for a good 30 seconds. Flat-out sold.
Holy shit. You’re the most popular girl I know. I know award you homecoming queen.
That just got weird.
I had a girlfriend pull this on me before. Needless to say, I didn’t realize it was April fools day, and it wasn’t that hilarious.
nice try! i was thinking all night for an april fools blog to post. couldnt think of anything. this was good
Happy April Fool’s Day
Happy April Fools..
I was waiting for April Fools at the
end…but even though you didn’t
didn’t throw it in there, I still
had a hunch you were being sneaky.
Mmmm.
You’re such a tricky bugger.
hee. i think this is an april fools as well. HOWEVER, i am waiting with bated breath for tomorrow’s follow up
amazing.
you almost got me.
also, remember when i posted about the pee sticks?
http://butfridayiminlove.blogspot.com/2009/03/is-it-just-my-facebook-friends-or-have.html
yeah, still gross.
~b
I know it’s April Fool’s Day, so I’m going to say, “Right. Good one.” Any other day, I’d have said, “Well shit.” Because I have a way with words.
Liar liar pants on fire!
Most important question:
Have you let go of the pregnant woman you forced to pee on five sticks?
It’s a felony, kidnapping is.
I was just thinking up a nice email to send you…
until I remembered that it was APRIL 1!
Silly goose!
I so glad that I read the last few comments before I commented. I was set write a serious heart felt post. Do know how much that would taxed my brain? And just think I was wondering who I was going get fooled by today. Guess whooo? Yuooo
LOL! my girl friend and I were talking about ur post today over breakfast, we totally agreed it must be a prank! glad we were right, we need to hear about more drunken nights with friends and B!
hilarious! Happy April Fool’s
I hope you at least gave him a scare. I texted my boy that I wanted to do the nasty when I got home and he thought it was an April Fools joke…never pulled that one before!
Ahhhhhh! You had me. Dammit.
Stupid April Fool’s Day
Well done.
Awwwwww. *huge-ass e-hug*
I’m so happy for you guys!
Yay. I guess Spring sprung…babies.
I couldn’t help but think: Hey, even more graphic TMI to come!
I hear you get gassy, and constipated.
You’re going to be one of the awesome-est mommas around, I’m sure.
Yay for nine months of NO PERIOD!
No fair! It’s not April First anymore…..and I wasn’t paying much attention to the calender at the end of March, anyway. I thought we still had a few more days.
But I mean…the part where you announced it to the pretend-daddy-to-be….that struck me as odd. You did do the red herring thing though, eh?
That’s effing amazing.
6 words for you dear: cost hanger and a hungry dog.
aaahhhh good one….
haha good one. We told my boyfriend’s dad that I was preggers. I had pull a picture of an ultrasound and photo shopped my info on it!
I feel like this is the go-to joke on April Fool’s, but you pulled it off way better than most. Certainly better than I did.
Crap, I was so ready to be a grandmother again.
That’s what I get for being so late in getting here. You totally got me!
haha… that was good!
