A week with the family - eek!

I'm heading down to the Bay Area to spend Vietnamese New Year (Tet) with the fam.  Three days of family parties with 15 or so aunts/uncles and 20+ cousins.  Anyone want to guess as to:

- How many times they ask when I'm having a baby?

- How many times someone grabs my belly?

- How many times my aunts offer me unsolicited "position" advice?  (Awkward!!) 

I'm guessing:  12, 4, 3.  Too bad we're not allowed to drink this weekend...

    Hahahaha! I love stories about your family. I'll be thinking of you, and we can have a virtual drink together. Just remember stories about my MIL when you start to wonder if it will ever end. It's only a week! You'll get through it-but then you have to come tell me all about it ;)

    Hilarious. I can't wait to hear stories when you get back.  Have fun!

  • Oh no!  You should start planning comebacks now.  Like screeching

    "OMG!?!?!  Are you CRAZY?!  You want me to stand on my HEAD while having SEX?!  Don't you know my baby will come out with a flat head if I do that?!"

    And other ridiculous ones that have no merit to them.  Wink

  • Oh, and my guesses are:

    7

    1 (because only one person would be dumb enough to do it seeing as how you're teeny, and anyone else dumb enough to do it would see you smack them or burst into tears and would think again)

    1 (see previous post about babies with flat heads)

  • Dude, I actually had one person tell me to lay with my feet up on the wall for a half hour with my butt propped on two pillows.

    Tres Romantic!
