We’ve checked off the wedding, we’ve navigated the pregnancy... and I haven't even given birth yet, but people are already grilling me about when we might want a second child 🙂
Good grief, can't they just let me focus on getting through this first stage and finding my footing? I don't think I'll even be thinking about a second kid anytime soon 🙄
Omg, it’s like you’re reading my mind—I’m actually waiting on my third right now... all those questions literally drove me insane during those first couple of years.
Now it’s a whole new level of annoying; every time my aunt calls, her first move is, "So, have you put on weight?"🙄
(And I've already dropped 30 pounds! Since I'm tall, you can barely tell, but it's always the same story—she knows exactly what I weigh because I lost like 35 pounds instantly during both my previous pregnancies... I eat plenty and I don't care, but she didn't even bother asking if I was doing okay or if everything was fine, you know?)
Then comes the kicker; she passes along a message from my sister-in-law: "She told me not to hold my breath for a girl—it's basically impossible to have one in this family."😠
I don't even know why I'm getting so worked up over it—but honestly, if they were standing right in front of me, I would've absolutely laid into both of them.
