Why is it people always ask you if your pregnancy was planned. I think only two people have not asked me this, oh my mom is number three. But come on, is it really any of your business. Do people just have to ask this question like it’s the first thing that comes into their minds and they just blurt it or do they really think it’s their business?
Why do I have a compulsion to answer this question? No matter what, I answer-, even when it’s people I really don’t think they need to know. It just pops out of my mouth.
And if you are curious. No we didn’t plan this pregnancy and even Zane was a surprise. After not using birth control for six years and trying to concieve on and off Zane was a wonderful little surprise. I thought TJ and I would just not have children. But two years ago I got a positive test for my birthday.
And with six years to get Zane I figured it would take some work to get a second child. So yes this baby is a surprise and wasn’t planned on. But it is a wonderful blessing and surprise.
I totally understand!! Since I just had #4 I get all kinds of looks/questions!
I should get a tee made that reads “yes they all are mine, yes I know what birth control is, yes they were planned, don’t bless my heart, we are very happy with our children.”
:). Congrats to your blessing!
Well, thanks for the answer, though I didn’t ask!
The only awkward question I had was from the nurse at our OB/GYN office. She looked like she didn’t believe me when I said it wasn’t planned. But we’d been married 12 years at the time, so I guess she figured it was about time.
