Guess What?!
I'm Pregnant!
Surprised?!
Me too!
My MIL went to her Visiting Teaching interview tonight. Greeted by congratulations from the Relief Society President about how I am due soon and they have me on the list for a baby blanket. Needless to say my MIL was shocked at the news.
Needless to say, I am NOT pregnant. I have no idea who in the ward reported it the the Relief Society.It's pretty funny. Maybe they could let me know my due date...
BTW Picture is from 2004 when I was pregnant with Oliver

Married for 73 years Harry Cooper (aka Pop Pop, age 98) and Barbara Cooper(aka Cutie, age 93) are the stars of their own video blog. They are also on facebook and twitter.
