I am sick of seeing this picture and seeing people laugh at it and judge this mom. Yes, initially it is funny. “Woman waiting for her husband to come back from Iraq after 12 months of being at war.” Oh, haha! Pregnancy only lasts for 9ish months, which is clearly less than 12 months, and the man has been in Iraq for 12 months! She obviously cheated on her husband! hahaha
No. Sorry. Incorrect. Evidently people don’t understand the concept of R&R leave. Here’s the rest of the story, from PregnantChicken.com:
“The baby was conceived during a mid-term leave and Kendra Kaplan (along with their three-year old, Ayden) had brought a sealed envelope with the baby’s ultrasound so she and her husband, Staff Sgt. Joshua Kaplan, could find out the gender together. They had another beautiful boy.”

EDIT: And HERE is an article/interview with Kendra Kaplan where she talks about how difficult it has been to deal with the cruel comments regarding she and her family.

Imagine ‘daddy’ being stupid enough not to realize what’s up.

FOR THE RECORD:
(Since I see a number of bitching reblogs to this)
I DON’T GIVE A FUCK IF THIS IS A MISTAKE OR NOT.
I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF HE KNOCKED HER UP ON LEAVE.
I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HOW SHE’S DRESSED.

This picture was FUNNY. & you guys killed it.

FACTS FOR THE SENSITIVE:
(via: StrayDogStrut)

Kendra Kaplan, 5 months pregnant, stands for the national anthem while waiting to re-unite with her husband Staff Sgt. Joshua Kaplan after he and fellow U.S. Army soldiers arrived on August 18, 2009 to Fort Carson, Colorado. She had brought a sealed envelope with an ultrasound, so that they could learn the baby’s gender together upon Joshua’s arrival. The Kaplans will be having a baby boy, conceived during Joshua’s mid-term leave in March. Approximately 575 soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat team from the 4th Infantry Division returned Tuesday following a 12 month deployment to Iraq. At lower left is their son Ayden, 3.

IT’S A LOVE STORY NOW, YOU GUISE.
I almost feel bad for posting this now.
Didn’t think it’d get so out of control.
