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 conversation

and 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!

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'

Since gossip has been going around the workplace and people have been finding out I have got a lot of:

"Oh I didn't even know that you were trying!" (Why would I tell you anyway?!)

and

"What are you hoping for?" (A baby, thanks for asking)

Argh! Lol.
