Can someone get pregnant...with twins?

Monday night, I dragged husband to one of my favorite places, Home Goods. (He should have known it was a bad idea to purchase a townhouse one block away from it.) I was in search for a dresser to go in our formally guest bedroom/now office/closet. I struck out on the dresser (more on that process later), but I found this...

I mean, I may or may not have a faux baby registry. I was ready and willing to check this bad boy off, especially when I saw that it was...

$79.99!!!!!

I begged and pleaded with husband. I explained that it normally retails for around $340.He informed me that A.) Not only was I not pregnant, that B.) When I am, what makes me think I will have twins?

I. Was. Crushed.

I test drove MY stroller around Home Goods to show how fantastic I was at weaving it through narrow aisles. I even convinced Husband that it was a great neutral color and lightweight. When he still didn't budge, I called Sister to beg her to have another child while Jake was still young enough to ride in the other seat. She gave me a no as well....

Now, I wrote that post yesterday afternoon. I couldn't stop thinking about the stroller. Husband came home, and I continued to talk about it. I tried to explain what a great price it was, but he informed me that I was "being nothing short of crazy."  The next part of the conversation went like this...

Husband- Maybe if it had been $100 doll-

Me- IT WAS! IT WAS ONLY 79.99!!

Husband- No, it was $179.99

Me- NO! LET'S GO BACK AND I WILL PROVE IT!

There might have been a line "I'm having these imaginary twins with or without you," but I can't be sure. I finally drove back to Home Goods to claim my stroller and...

It was $179.99. Husband was right. April 13th... the day my uterus shed a tear...
