Bay Ridge couple’s baby news has humorous touch
Bay Ridge residents Ray and Joanna Riley, who are expecting their first child later this year, did what many young couples do these days: They used social media to communicate their joyful news to the world.
But the Rileys, who have been happily married for 2 1/2 years, also used their creativity and a playful sense of humor to get their happy message across to everyone.
They posted a photo on Facebook on April 13 that is still bringing smiles to their friends’ faces.
In the photo, the Rileys are sitting up in bed. Ray is reading “The Expectant Father” and is looking at his wife with an expression on his face that is a cross between curiosity and concern. Joanna, meanwhile, is shoving a cookie into her mouth and has an assortment of Lay’s Potato Chips, Entenmann’s cakes, Pepperidge Farm cookies, Gummy Bears and other sweet treats spread out in front of her on the bed to satisfy any craving she might have during her pregnancy.
