So I have discovered the second most annoying thing people say behind "When are you going to have a baby?" And it is the opposite! "Don't get pregnant and have a baby then because I have: a wedding, conference, double lobotomy, whatever that month." Not only do people think they should know when you're starting a family but apparently they think that is okay to let you know when it isn't convenient for them. And with someone constantly getting married or planning trips in advance, it's hard to find time to have a baby!
You asked me when we were having kids and I said not for a while and then you proceed to tell me why it doesn't fit in your schedule? What if I was already pregnant? How would you feel then? Have a ruined your day? You're not supposed to tell people that you're pregnant for three months but some people don't hesitate to tell you when you shouldn't have a baby not even thinking that it is already a possibility.
I guess the thing that bothers me the most is that they are implying that I will be having a baby soon because I have nothing better to do. I said we were waiting so believe me! And even if we aren't, it is my body and my prerogative. I still can't get over how many people that I barely know who think it is their right to comment on my body and life decisions. We aren't talking about my hair color here!
I'm not happy about having to go nine months without a drink as it is. The last thing I want to be worrying about it whether or not my pregnancy fits into your schedule. And if you're out of town on a non-refundable trip, I'm sorry I can't say that I will miss you at the hospital.
