Most people give you a year after you are married before they start asking when you plan to have children. I wondered how long it would take after the first child before the question popped up again.
Apparently it is 21 months.
I have had three people ask me in the past week if I am pregnant. Three. While I am not the most fit person in the world, I don't think it has anything to do with my appearance (at least I hope not).
Person No. 1 - A friend sent me a message telling me she had a feeling I was pregnant. I wouldn't think anything of it except that this same friend asked me if I was pregnant the day I went to the doctor's office to have it confirmed. I hadn't even told my family yet. I hadn't told anyone I was going to the doctor.
Person No. 2 - I pulled a co-worker aside this week and told her I had a secret. She got all excited and asked if it was going to make her scream. I didn't know what she was talking about at first. Then it hit me. "Did you think I was going to tell you I'm pregnant?" She nodded. I later decided not to wear a certain shirt. I bought it thinking that while it wasn't a maternity shirt, I could easily wear it when I do get pregnant. I will just save it for that time.
Person No. 3 - While talking to another co-worker, I mentioned Peanut's love of bossing the cat around. I said I can't imagine how she will be with a sibling. Her face lit up, she glanced down at my belly and excitedly asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Lordy, do you people know something I don't?

Guess you need to POAS! Sophie's Bday was Tuesday and several people said something to the effect of "time to have another one" or "when are you going to give her a sibling?"
hehe! Well, if it makes you feel better, after #2 they will just ask if you're done now. lol
And if you have the gall to have FOUR kids - lol - people will just think you are crazy. ;)
It feels like we've been getting this question since the day our first one was born. Then, when we tell people we might be "one and done" there's always this disappointed look.
I have found as soon as you mention anything that could be relateed to another child, people think you're immediately pregnant!
