Pressure, all kinds / PG / Weight-loss
When are you getting engaged?
When are you getting married?
When are you buying a house?
When are you having a kid?
- - -
It doesn't end there.
Now, when are you having a second kid?
I want to wear a sign, I've heard this in some form (mostly, "Zac needs a brother", everyday for the last week.
Right now I am so focused on weight loss, I really want to and need to do this, my mind is in the right place for it and I have been sucessful. If I get pregnant the focus is off that and I can't say 9 months and a newborn later I will still be this committed to it.
So right now, I'm saying @ 50 pounds I will get pregnant. How's that for incentive to loose weight? I honestly think I could do that by February (Zac's 2). Then I will be in the right place for pregnancy weight gain too.
I just wanted to announce that.
Because I feel like if I say it here, the whole world might stop asking me. LOL!

Re: Pressure, all kinds / PG / Weight-loss
Sounds like a good plan.
The questions never stop. Once anyone finds out we're having a second girl, they always follow up with "When will you be trying again for a boy?". No one is ever happy.
Ugh.
My BIL & SIL have been married 3 years too, she's approaching 30 - I will never ask them when they are having kids because I know everyone else does, and I have vowed to be the one person who doesn't bother her with that question.
yep we get the 2nd kid one and the house one all the time. Sometimes I think we are the only 35 year olds with a kid that live in an apartment that anyone has ever known!

16 read! my read shelf:
I'm having the same issue with "are you pregnant?!" (cue squee.) From all my aunts, cousins, and my grandma. I stupidly remarked a while back that I was hoping we'd be pregnant by the time Natalie was 2 (in response to the "when will you have another" question), and that bit me in the ass.
Now I have this really tricky situation where if I do get pregnant, I don't want to lie and answer "no," but I also wouldn't want those folks to be privy to a loss, so I don't really know what I'll say. I'm thinking it will be along the lines of "when I am pregnant, you'll be one of the first to know."
Do you think when we get old, we'll be those people who ask? Or will we remember how awkward/ intrusive/ annoying it is, and not ask?
I hear you! I get asked all of the time...by family, friends, coworkers, strangers when I tell them how old Liam is!
I get people asking me if and when we are going to have a 4th and if we are going to try for a boy.. Like WHAT?? Are you kidding me!! There is always something!
But go you on being focused on the weight loss. I wanted to lose the baby weight that I gained when pg with Abby before getting pg again, but that didn't happen. Now I am done having kids so I have no excuses!

I just want to say again that your conviction to the weight loss is inspiring. I wish it was inspiring ACTION and not jealousy
but that's my problem!! You're young, you have lots of time to do it all. You are working on yourself now so you're even better down the road for Zacie and any siblings
