An attempt at April Fools jokes

I have never really been good at playing tricks on people... especially on my husband because he can see right through my lies (which is probably a good thing). But I decided that I wanted to play some kind of trick on him for April Fools day yesterday. I knew it needed to be something believable that would freak him out just for a minute. So it worked out perfectly that I just happened to have a doctor's appointment yesterday and it was the first time my doctor was checking me to see if I am making any progress towards delivery. I decided to tell Jesse that the baby was probably going to come really early because I thought that would make him really nervous. So as soon as he got home, I told him that we would probably be having a baby a lot sooner than we thought. Then I told him that I was 5 cm dilated, and 95% effaced, and that the doctor didn't think I would make it longer than a week. Instead of freaking out like I thought, Jesse came over and gave me a big hug and said "Good job Hun, I knew she would come early!" So I told him right away that I was kidding, and was really only 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. But at least I am making a little progress :)

Jesse had also planned on playing a joke on me, but it didn't quite work out. He called my doctors office on his lunch break to see if the doctor would tell me that he found a second heartbeat and that I was really having twins! The receptionist did some investigating for him and talked to my doctor, but they couldn't do it because of all of the privacy laws (thank goodness). I think that would have given me a heart attack! But it was a good effort on his part.
