In one of Life's photos of the year, a five-months-pregnant Kendra Kaplan clutches the ultrasound results at the arrival ceremony of her husband, Staff Sgt. Joshua Kaplan, who was deployed in Iraq. She brought the results so that they could find out the baby's gender together (it's a boy!). The couple's three-year-old son, Ayden Kaplan, spots his dad in the crowd.YourVoice

Ward Jamison said...Question is: how did you get it? Must have been a very short deployment. She's five months along?

mysticalfairy45 said...I thought the same thing! I had twins and that's how i looked when i was 5 months. She's either farther along than what they said, or she's having twins!!

Becky said...AOL seems to censor comments (especially political comments that are anti-Obama) and yet it continues to allow unbridled free advertisement for singles groups, weight loss crap, knock-off designer handbags, etc. Why is this? Can someone explain this to me?
