Getting Pregnant

FB pr announcement (not me) - I can't help but laugh

"Prep Time: 2 minutes. Bake Time: 9 months"
Why would you ever announce how long it took you to "prep"? And why would you admit to 2 minutes? I should be upset, but I can't help but laugh at outing yourself on FB as a quick lay...

Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.

  • Haha that's awkward...What an odd way to announce. Are they cooks/bakers?

  • Wow. That is super awkward. I get wanting a unique announcement but that was really the best they could come up with?

  • @sgautschi - no, but it goes with their surname...I'm actually excited to tell DH about this one. I know he'll find it just as awkward/hilarious.

  • @poppies717 That makes sense. I told DH and he laughed and said 2 minutes was probably generous. ;)

  • That's a quick lay? Ha! Kidding! Thet were probably trying to be funny.
  • Definitely awkward and humorous!

    I think it's more cute than funny. It's definitely an adorable announcement, but the prep time has a certain ick and (likely unintended) humorous factor to me. ETA: fixed for clarityx2

  • I don't think it was meant to be taken literally. I think it's funny...even more so if it goes along with their last name. Call me crazy.
  • Ha! I get the humor they were trying to go for, but most people don't want to consider your "prep time" in making a baby. Sorry, but I don't really like thinking about other people having sex!

  • Like others, I get that they were trying to be funny. However, I think pg announcements (or anything else for that matter) that hints at or discusses one's sex life is gross. I don't want to think about other people having sex.
