I was thinking along the same lines as Hollye, Back in the day my mum thought if you went for a swim in the same pool as a boy you could get UTD.... So you could tell them that you went swimming and a mth later you were UTD....
OR
You could turn it around on them and say in a very shocked voice.... " What people still do that I didnt think anyone was still silly enough this day and age to have Accidents...
as for the sex just tell them you are hoping for a baby that looks like your DH as your not sure who the daddy is LOL that will get them talking.....
When I got PG with DD2 everyone knew that BHL HAD only wanted two.... So when we turned around and got UTD with her I got alot of so did you trick him questions.... or the most annoying one is BHL happy about it!!!! Grrrr it really annoyed me as we wanted this baby and we BOTH had decide to TTC her we just didnt think we had to tell everyone that we were TTC... I guess next time I will have to ring up everyone and tell the days we DTD just so they dont feel left out of our Private lives...
I like ~Kate~'s idea!!
.............classic. Love it.How about "Yes, we're hoping for a boy... or a girl. One of those two would be great!"
YOur going to get those comments regardless - if you had 2 boys you would get the question about the girl, if you had one of each you would get some other stupid question. As long as you have a couple of these one liners up your sleeve, you will be fine.....and proud.
ETA; i hate the look when they see you have three girls, and they look at you like youve got three little guinea pigs, or 3 ferral cats following you...'you have 3 of them ???' gawd, i hate it.....
Cracks me up when disrespectful people ask about ''accidents". Personally I think it is very very nosy to ask someone anyway! Isn't it a personal thing?
Yes...his penis accidently slipped into my vagina. You know, I really don't know how that happened. Next time my vagina should really be more careful!
:-P
(Just a bit of silliness)
A family friend of my husbands use to say "I had a wet dream and she rolled into it" His teenage kids were so embarrased poor things.
Nic
ROFL Nic!!! I love that one!!!!
ahh you girls have some great comebacks!
when i tell ppl (ppl being my family- cousins etc) of our miscarriage, i get 'were you trying or was it a surprise?' i get a little offended by that, because i think, a miscarriage is a miscarriage, whether or not we were trying, or it was a surprise, or even if it wasnt wanted (just for the record, it was a WELCOMED surprise that we were pregnant) we just lost a baby! what does it matter! grr anyways, thats just my pet peev at the moment!
People used to ask us "what are you hoping for" I used to answer...
"well, i kind of want a baby! but I suppose I'll take whatever comes out!"
And too "do you want a boy/girl" I'd just say "yes... hey listen, I've been meaning to ask, if its a ____, will you take him/her?"
A few people asked if it was an accident (obviosly not people who KNEW us, just strangers making conversationand I'd say
"yeah, and let me tell you my girlfriend was really shocked!!"
Which usually leads to them minding their own damn business lol

LMFAO so many funny comebacks. I've found that ppl ask if we tried or not as well - from all my work colleagues which i find extremely offensive - who cares if you were TTC or it was an accident, it's still a baby and a joyous event at that.
i've also had some of the extra arrogant/ pushy ppl coming with advice/ scary stories - to which i'm just not interested so i tell them so 'not interested in hearing the one in a million freak things or disgusting stories, go away!'.
i had my NT scan yesterday (looking good) and a woman came up and said if it's got down syndrome i should have an abortion - i was so shocked! I told her that that's the beauty that i'm the one pregnant NOT her - it's my choice and i think children with downs syndrome can still have extremly fulfilling and happy lives - to which she said 'yeah but what about your life?' eugh some ppl!
hope all is going well with everyone's pregnancy and bring on the warmer weather!
I know it's rude. But when I read the wet dream one, I automatically thot "No, she rolled onto it" hehehe (Meaning dh's penis). I really liked that one. Cause it actually happened to me with Jess. Dh thought he'd been dreaming when we concieved Jess. He asked me the next day if it was a dream. I told him if it was, then it was a good one cause I'd had the same one!
OMG mustang. that women was so awful! how rude rude rude! i think i would have just called her a naughty name and walked away.
Leasha. ha ha . yep i bet that would have a lot interfereing old biddies heading for the hills!
Thanks SJ. cant believe its gone so fast really. we passed the magical 12 week mark and the nt scan was excellent. big relief.
My responses (we have already started sharing) are
'Why would you thing this bub is a surprise? Is it because I am young or because I already have 2 children? or are you just rude?'
'If we have a boy - Great, If we have a girl - Great, If we have a donkey - not so great'
Yeah it was an accident, Dh just slipped & fell into my vagina!
Not quite as rude but my dh is a minister, and one of my responses has been, "It's been a bit slow building up our children's ministry so we're padding out the Sunday School."
I'm really pleased though that people have been much more wonderful than I was fearing. I don't care what they are saying behind my back but I'm getting a lot of, "Wow, you're a wonderwoman!" types of comments, which is nice![]()
I had someone comment on my being pg again while I was at my old work. It was a client who hadn't seen me since I left to have Isla. I just laughed & said yeah, some may say Im crazy. But my old boss piped in & said You thrive on it though Fiona. I can only assume he meant being pg & having babies & not being crazy LOL
