In reality we are totally on the fence and will probably try for a second in a year or two - but because I *seem* adamant when I talk about it people don't ask! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2260176 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 18:03:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2260176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family knows I don't want another bio child. But my mom refuses to believe me- ha! She says she just KNOWS I'll have another one. We'll see ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2260170 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 17:58:49 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2260170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think everyone has asked once but we are so firm in our OMG we're done answer that we don't get asked again :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2260167 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 17:57:35 +0000 mrbee 2260167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowybreeze: He looks a bit like I did as a kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2260152 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 17:29:46 +0000 GrapeCrush 2260152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time we see my family its hinted that we should have a third, or flat out asked if we are trying for a third. It's really annoying. Especially since I want a third and my husband doesn't. It's a sore subject for me haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2260147 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 17:21:53 +0000 namaste 2260147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right afterwards but we're one and done. I get it from strangers almost daily. "You make cute babies so you need more." is extremely popular to say to strangers I guess :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259865 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:02:47 +0000 Snowybreeze 2259865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had our 2nd and during friends and family visits to see the baby, a few asked if we're done or if we want more. We know we wanted at least 3 but it's just so awkward to get the question, especially our 2nd just arrived...</p> <p>@ Mr. Bee, does Charlie look like you? I think Olive looks like Mrs. Bee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259864 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:02:40 +0000 youboots 2259864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259853 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:56:31 +0000 BananaPancakes 2259853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm every single time I see any family member. It's constant. I have 2 pregnant SIL's right now, so I think they've just stoked the fire or something. Hoping once their LO's are here, everyone will BACK OFF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259762 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 10:45:07 +0000 yin 2259762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday I was asked at a family gathering. I was really upset with a food allergy issue and gathered people around in the family room to discuss. Everyone assumed I was making a pregnancy announcement. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259754 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 10:42:56 +0000 Chillybear 2259754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Chocolate: Did you have your baby!?!?

I think they all know we'll have #2. </p> <p>Friends def ask... And I always say that I need some good STTN first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259713 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 10:17:31 +0000 Reese 2259713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: A few days ago?

Our 20mo old twins are a huge handful and if that wasn't enough they took over 4.5 years and a ton of money...so, no, they don't ask! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259597 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:52:54 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2259597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of our families know that we want more than the one that we have currently, but with a 10 week old no one is asking when the next one will come yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259596 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:52:49 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2259596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I got my first "try for a boy" comment the other day. Even though we do want a third and would love to experience raising a son, it's so weird to have people comment on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259589 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:48:14 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2259589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my 3rd and both my mom and grandma are trying to make sure we are done. We probably are but really its annoying too since its my choice how many kids I do or dont want too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259587 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:47:48 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2259587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we stopped speaking for other reasons, my mom would make a comment almost every day about how we just HAD to try for a girl once she found out LO2 is a boy. It was infuriating given that she knew about our struggles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259584 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:41:52 +0000 fancyfunction 2259584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily our parents never ask - I think my mom was in complete happy shock when I was pregnant with my first. Now they're thrilled we're having a second - but know this one will be the last ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259576 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:37:37 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2259576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: same here. Three in three years and I think they're all hoping we take a break for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259568 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:29:24 +0000 avivoca 2259568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not family, but I'm sure it will come up at our family reunion in October. Lately it's been people at church, but T shuts them down by saying daycare is expensive, so while we are considering it, it's not going to happen right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259567 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:29:15 +0000 Alivoo01 2259567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They haven't asked since we had our D&amp;C back in March, but before then, pretty often since DS was 18 months. They kept telling us "this is a good time!". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259565 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:26:31 +0000 Mamasig 2259565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday my cousin asked me what our next baby will be named! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259548 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 08:06:51 +0000 jhd 2259548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's aunt asked last week. I was surprised when MIL &amp; FIL both jumped in to tell her we were happy with our one. It meant so much to me. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259540 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 07:52:41 +0000 MamaBehr 2259540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point, my family is more concerned about when we are going to stop! I'm currently pregnant with our fourth ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259530 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 07:41:52 +0000 twodoghouse 2259530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one asks anymore! We have twins that still don't sleep through the night after 15 months, plus we went through IVF, so people are smart enough Not to ask! :wink: My mom is still holding out hope that we end up with a 3rd, but she *usually* keeps that to herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259508 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 06:58:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 2259508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pregnant so we have a bit of a break. Before getting pregnant, I was up front that we were planning on a second soonish, so people didn't really ask much. </p> <p>I don't think we have gotten many "will you try for a boy" questions. The only people who have asked are people who are close enough to know how DH wanted a boy and I don't mind them asking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259456 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 01:02:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2259456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last time I spoke to my mom a few days ago :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-time-your-family-asked-about-you-about-having-more-babies#post-2259454 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 00:48:02 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2259454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They've actually never asked! I think both sides assume we're done with two. </p>
