Do you suppose...

We're not TTC... yet. But I wonder now that we're married and my management at my work knows we're married, if they are (maybe subconciously?) wondering when I will start a family.
I might only be overthinking this because didn't have a wedding- just went to the courthouse and signed papers. I just don't want to be written out of new opportunities at work because they think I could be baby crazy. 
Also, I talk about babies/kids at work sometimes, so they know I want a family at some point.
Tell me I'm paranoid and we'll go about our day.

Re: Do you suppose...
They may very well be wondering, but I don't think that necessarily translates into "she's KU, let's cut her out of opportunities."
You sound paranoid, but you may want to tone down the kid discussions.

They are probably subcounsciously thinking it, but that shouldn't stop you from opportunities.
I'm the youngest in my office by about 20 years. The 2 women I work with both have kids a little older than me and young grandkids. The only man in the office is the one 20 years older than me, but he and his wife had their kids older, so his kids are 13, 11, and 9. All 3 of them always tease me about when they are going to have a baby around the office. I don't bring it up, because DH and I aren't ready for kids yet (they all know this,so the teasing is funny), but they also know that I want to advance in the bank as time goes on. When we (my manager and I) talk about me moving towards advancement, never once has me wanting a family someday come up.
They may very well be wondering. How often do you talk about:
your job / advancing in your profession / your career aspirations / your desire for more professional responsibility
at work?
I never think this about colleagues who recently got married, even those who eloped / did the courthouse thing.
Maybe that's because I don't want a family, I assume there are *gasp* others who don't, either.
