robby knocked me up

I keep meaning to post this “photo”. Rob and I had two sets of t-shirts made back in July. We wore these during our trips to see our families – the trip where we spilled the beans about the pregancy. This set was my favorites of the two (the other set said “Little (our last name) on Board” with an arrow).

It was pretty funny to watch peoples reactions. More than a few looked at the t-shirt, read it, and just kept talking to us. My cousin later said, “I just thought it was a funny t-shirt.” One of Rob’s sister in-laws thought that it meant we had just had sex. Yes, thank you, I am so FULL OF CLASS that I would wear a t-shirt announcing that my husband and I just had sex.

There are some limits to what I will do. Granted, they are relatively small in number but that is another post.

I put my t-shirt on the other day and it barely fits. Not so much because of the huge growth protruding from my midsection – but more because of the boobage. I should dig out Smarty and have her try it on.

    I LOVE your shirt! When I was pregnant folks would say stuff like,”I bet your hubby is so excited” or something like that. I’d always respond, “Maybe. I’m not sure who the father is. I’d had a rough night.” hehehehehe.

    Hahaha, the only thing funnier than those t-shirts is the non-response they evoked from some of your family. Guess they’re used to your antics, eh?
