how did the fam weekend go? hope you were able to quash any overly nosy questions!
Re: **MrsSstrug**
i only had two incidents. one was actually okay....just a "so any idea on the kid thing" from DH's cousin who is pretty cool. I just said nah not yet, it is not always as easy as people think. She said yeah just curious that's all. granted still NOT something to ask but as least she wasn't stupid about it. (i also immediately opened a beer at every function).
however, one of my aunt's was a beeatch. i was holding my nephew and feeding him and she was all "now that's a photo i want to see out of dc and real soon. you better hurry up" to which i replied...well if they visit you can see it. and she said oh no, you know exactly what i mean. c'mon already. to which i just stared right at her, and i mean right at her, said nothing and just went back to looking at the baby. (who is freaking adorable anyway). she then said, well i guess i was just rude about that huh and walked out. so i win!
i wish i could say holding my nephew gave me some raging case of the "i need a baby now" syndrome but nope. still fence sitting at least for now.
and to those who have struggled with IF. i truly feel for you having to deal with these dolts who ask just intrusive question not knowing what may be really going on. at least in my case this is a choice (for now, as far as we know). not sure how i could handle this type of thing if it wasn't.
and for your viewing please. nephew meets Auntie Strug......and just like with my niece i told him "i'm the one who will buy you beer"
Glad your whole weekend wasn't filled with questions about babies!
Your nephew visit went way better than mine this weekend. Ours isn't so well socialized, so if anyone but mom or dad touches him:
Stand up for something you believe in.
whenever anyone asks/pushes the point with me, my first thought is to my friends who are having/have had fertility issues. i seriously wish there was a "asking that is NOT OK" public service announcement for those prying @ssholes.
@mary: i know it shouldn't, but your nephew's face made me laugh out loud!
My husband has a matching series of photos. We knew he was unhappy, but the expressions on his face when I pulled the pics from the camera were priceless.
Stand up for something you believe in.
those will be positively awesome to show him in 15-20 years!

At least your aunt realized she was rude?? That is the only positive from that convo. I am always amazed at what people think is OK to ask about like that. I mean really, either you don't want them (yet or never) or you are trying to have them and can't. Either way do they think they can change your mind with their comments? Like, oh yeah honey, aunt so-and-so says she wants to see a pic of me with a baby of my own so let's get on that now for her sake.
And nephew is really cute!
