Does That Offend You?

When you’re pregnant people ask super personal questions. “Were you expecting it?” “How long were you trying?” “Can I touch your belly?” When you’re expecting twins, people ask ridiculously personal questions. “Were they natural or IVF?” “What position were they conceived in?” “Who initiated it”  

I am honestly a super open book and blab on about everything, hence why I started this blog, so I really don’t mind. So to get these out of the way:

• No we were not expecting to get pregnant, but knew if it happened it happened. We were also not preventing it. I knew my cycle, we didn’t use protection, voila, babies.

• Pretty obvious follow up to that, they were natural. My great grandma had two sets of fraternal twins so we are some hyper ovulators.

• I loved letting people touch my belly. I think some of the saddest parts of being in the hospital was not getting to be around friends and family and have them experience kicks and that whole process of me ballooning up, but I get people who are taken aback by it as well.

• You’ll have to read the conception post to get the 411 on all the other details (;

One thing that annoys the shit out of me is when people say “a boy and a girl, that’s great so you’re done!” Not asking, telling. Assuming that because we have one of each magically makes people think that we are just done. I am not sure why that bothers me so much. Maybe I find it presumptuous, maybe I just don’t like people telling me what to do with my own life. Either way. Really grinds my gears. ** I would have put “rubs me the wrong way” but Tan gets the heebie jeebies from that phrase. This is my way of putting it in there still.
