It has begun...

So I was late to work on Thursday because I couldn't get out of bed.  Legitimately, just tired.  My vacation starts next Friday and I am counting down the days!  Anyways, my boss says "are you okay?" when I walk in late and I said "yes, just tired" and his response is "are you pregnant?" :|

"No".  Then one of the sales managers screams from across the office "are you pregnant?"  Oh, you know, I must have answered wrong the first time. "No!"  OMG.

Married for 3 weeks and it's already started.

Re: It has begun...

  • Ive been married for 3 years and together for 7 and we get asked on almost a weekly basis from friends and family. People are rude and annoying. You will get used to it. :)
  • ughhhh!! We've been married 4 years and together 14. We get asked all the time! Most people by now know, that im not interested in having kids so the questions are dwindling from some. People did give me at least one year though before they started asking.

  • Update:  Last night my old boss texted me and said someone told him I'm pregnant and congratulations.  I called him to find out who and he wouldn't say, but it's at my old workplace, spreading around that I'm pregnant.  FABULOUS!

  • H and I have been married for 2 years, together for 7, but once the wedding hit we were constantly asked about having kids (especially by our friends that have kids). After saying no so many times, some of them have gotten the hint...others have not. I'll stick to my dog for now, thanks.  LOL
  • DH just turned 40 and I'm a couple of years behind him, so the questions have slowed to a trickle. My standard response over the past few years has been, "Gawd I HOPE NOT!"
  • I have to drink CONSTANTLY at family functions now, because people are openly staring at my stomach. Sorry grandpa, I'm just fatter.
  • Our wedding was 3 days ago. I've already been asked about babies by 5 different people. Seriously? It still doesn't even feel real, please cool it on children.


  • I went on vacation a few weeks ago and seriously lost count of how many times pregnancy/children were brought up.  I was somewhere around 15 when I stopped counting.  FIL thought it was appropriate to give us a 30 minute lecture on proper parenting and then asked us for a timeline of when we'd be having kids.  I said there are certain things we want to achieve first, and DH said "a year".  Really?  After we left, I told DH there is no need to answer questions about our timeline.  Our timeline is when we both feel ready.  

    It's calmed down since then though.

  • My H and I got married two weeks ago and have been asked a few times by various people about our timeline.  My answer is, "Whenever I feel like having a life form fall from my vagina!"  Most people just stare at me with this stunned look.  So far it stopped most people...but I'm betting its only temporary.

    People always ask about kids then when I say 'Not right now' or something to that extent they counter with, "Well that's okay, how old are you? You're still young."  I'm sorry, I didn't know I had to check with you first as to whether it was "okay." And it's like why did you even bother asking!  GAWD!!!
