It's the middle of November and it's still purple, so I'm thinking it's just purple cause I like it. </p> <p>Oh and I always get, "how many cats do you have now?" "I still only have 2" "oh it seems like you have a lot more than that" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately/page/2#post-403573 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 23:36:38 +0000 Mrs. Blue 403573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Person; When are you due?? (expecting me to say sometime in the next couple of months based on the belly)</p> <p>Me: Not for a few months.</p> <p>Person: REALLY?? Wow. </p> <p>Me: It'a twins. That's why the belly is already so huge.</p> <p>Person: TWINS??? Do you know what they are?</p> <p>Me: Boys.</p> <p>Person: Better you than me! How are you going to manage? You'll stay at home, right??</p> <p>Me: Obligatory laugh while I think that I'm glad it's me and not you, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately/page/2#post-403515 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:04:36 +0000 ladyfingers 403515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it twins?<br /> I bet you're about to pop. (I'm 28 weeks, so nowhere near poppage, but thanks).<br /> How are you feeling/do you know what you're having/when are you due/how much time are you taking off work/have you picked a daycare -- basically well-intentioned, curious questions that I'm just totally sick of answering over and over<br /> And today for the first time: So, how big do you think your baby will be? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-403444 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 20:36:57 +0000 Cupcake 403444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"are you sure there's only one in there?"</p> <p>Wtf people.

That always made me laugh so hard, like "Yeah, we are, I just decided to celebrate it with these here 4 glasses of wine!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-403366 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:21:30 +0000 mrs. bird 403366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I get that all.the.time. If you could only snap back with some passive aggressive comment! </p> <p>I get the: when are you guys gonna have a baby? Any news? What are you waiting for? Are you pregnant? Come on, you can tell me? Are you even trying? Don't you want a baby? And from DH's lively grandma I get: why you empty? Why you not make me a baby? </p> <p>It's so great that I have so many lovely nosey ppl in my life to make sure I don't forget things, like in case I had forgotten that I can't seem to get pregnant, but they make sure to remind me frequently. Thanks guys! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-403350 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:10:26 +0000 PrincessBaby 403350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: I think it's weird when people you don't know very well ask about BFing. I've gotten asked that by the most random people, and at the end of the day, we're still talking about my boobs and that's just weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-403347 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:08:46 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 403347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Do you know what you're going to name him yet?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-403128 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:10:20 +0000 HLK208 403128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: Ugh!!

Oh come on, you can tell me, I won't tell anyone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-403056 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:25:04 +0000 DillonLion 403056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: UGH the worst.

But having done IVF is just a great answer... I just get to confirm what they're thinking... surprise :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402956 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:25:15 +0000 BKCaribBaby 402956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I know! Mine did so, too. It's funny because I find the doctors and older folks think it's great. It's all people our generation who are pretty flabbergasted. Now I just nod and smile or give people a blank stare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402955 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:23:34 +0000 JoJoGirl 402955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: I had a friend who got pregnant before they got married and got this question ALL THE TIME!!! I found out after the fact they had done IVF!! So I would say the answer was.. yes. :) People are stupid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402951 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:21:56 +0000 Revel 402951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: It's mostly been from friends that I would tell anyway - except also from SO's mom! Urgh. Mostly I expected it because we're not married, but it still surprises me how nosy people are - I hear this does not get any better as pregnancy progresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402931 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:11:21 +0000 blackbird 402931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she have a name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402909 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:04:01 +0000 Andrea 402909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: it just means that I gain weight aaaalllll over, not great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402900 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:00:44 +0000 banana 402900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is your son coping with his new baby sister?</p> <p>Are you planning on having a 3rd?</p> <p>Are you happy you have one of each? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402894 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:58:19 +0000 mediagirl 402894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are you feeling?<br /> How is your daughter?<br /> What are you doing for Thanksgiving? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402892 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:57:31 +0000 winniebee 402892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he sleep through the night?</p> <p>NO (mostly). </p> <p>Wow, he's 6 months!</p> <p>Yes, I know, I wish he slept through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402887 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:56:09 +0000 JoJoGirl 402887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: The doctor who did our NT scan (not the tech, but the doc who came in with results) actually said "Great choice on not finding out, not enough people do that these days!" haha.

SEE??".... yes, dear... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402883 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:54:10 +0000 PrincessBaby 402883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: people are so intrusive and dumb! "Yeah, my husband is really devastated we're having another healthy baby girl!"</p> <p>I hear "How are you feeling?" and "Are you ready for the baby?" at least 1 billion thousand times a day:) </p> <p>Also, God forbid I don't immediately call anyone in my family back or reply to a text at lightening speed. It causes a frantic domino effect of "ARE YOU IN LABOR???" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402882 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:53:54 +0000 chopsuey 402882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No questions.. Just people telling me I should have 3, 4 kids. Hahah all Korean older women from my church in cA. They want me to have lots and lots of babies.<br /> My mom thinks they crazy and has been telling me not to listen and to stop at 2. One of each is perfect says my mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402881 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:53:41 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 402881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When are you and DH going to have a baby?</p> <p>If only you knew family member. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-questions-that-you-have-heard-a-lot-lately#post-402880 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:53:35 +0000 BKCaribBaby 402880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: ME TOO! I'm going to snap on someone re: being Team Green. That said I am not in suspense at all. It's as if that's the only part of pregnancy. There is so much to focus on for me right including the health of the baby (I have some minor complications one of which could turn into a major one). DH and I are loving TG and allowing ourselves to focus on the important stuff. </p>
