Today's Q&A is short and sweet and something I get fairly often. I did have a whole bunch of ideas but decided to go with this.
Q: Are you and Jason going to have more kids/try for another boy/etc. and so on and so forth?
A: That's between us. Thanks for being interested but go rent your own porn movie. (Disclaimer: I do NOT support the porn industry and am ANTI-pornography.)
Sidenote: I dislike when people tell me they're "trying". What particularly are you trying to do? Ride a bike? That's what I'll think because I really don't want that image in my mind. You can tell me you want more children. But please don't tell me you're "trying". I know, I'm a prude.
Apparently at a family dinner in Canada (which we, of course, were not attending) Jason's family was discussing whether or not Jason and I were "done". Done with what exactly?
I had a piano student who expressed surprise if I wanted more (does that mean I'm not good with the ones I've got or that I seem overloaded) and well, we hear everything. SO, in case you were wondering, that's fine. Wonder all you want. Just don't ask me.

Well, I find when people ask me, "So when are you guys going to have another one," the only (non-rude) response I can give is, "We're trying." As in "Thank you for reminding me that my reproductive system has been betraying me for almost two years, 'preciatecha!" But that's just me. :)
Jeff and I have been married for almost 12 years, and all we have is one seven year old. So OF COUSRE we get all sorts of comments and questions, living in Happy Valley. It gets so old. Just to get people off of our backs, we tell them the truth--we're adopting. But then we've actually had some people ask us why we are adopting and why--exactly-- we can't have more kids. Can you believe that??
Don't you love that? IT'S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. I usually say "it just takes us a while." Or "things don't always happen the way we want."
That's the nice way to do it but there are plenty of responses you could give to put that person in their place.
so, you never answered the question...are you going to TRY to have anymore? and if so, when will you be TRYING?
Haha, I don't know Kate, but that was hilarious! Yes, make sure you put up a post as soon as you and Jason start trying for another boy, because it is so important to have, not only a happy family, but a symetrical one. :)

Oh, and speaking of annoying baby questions, you can only imagine how many times we hear something along the lines of "THREE girls?! I'm so sorry!" Or "I guess you're going to keep trying then..." As if a family isn't complete without a man child. Hmph.
I definitely agree with you about the whole "trying" thing. TMI.
I haven't had too many "three girls" comments, but when I was last pregnant I did meet one woman who INSISTED that I was disappointed to be having another girl. It was funny.
Ummm...I'm trying to remember if I've ever asked you any of these questions. Personally I don't mind it when people ask me that, which is good because people ask me a ton. But here I think they ask because its like "you're done, aren't you?"
We only have two kids so you can imagine people are racking their brains wondering why we only "chose" to have two. I had one friend tell me a woman asked her in an exasperated tone "Why do they only have two?Aren't they going to have more?" We also get a lot of "So you just have the two girls right?" If I were really mean this is what I'd say "Yes we only have two, unless you count the four miscarriages and one daughter who died, because then we'd have seven. Is that more a more acceptable number? Suck on that!"
Oh I'm also curious like Kate. When exactly will you be trying, like what time? I want to mark it on my calendar. {{{{shiver}}}}
OK I'll start saying we're "attempting."
My aunt Katie and I used to joke everyone has a "thing". In other words, there is always something about almost everyone that is discussed whenever that person leaves the room. With some people it is their weight, others it is addictions, some it is bad habits, and with almost everyone it is their marital status and/or fertility status. If it wasn't are you trying? It would be something else. It's like when people ask me if I am dating. I feel like saying "rub a bit more salt in the wound why don't yah?". Then I just think at least it isn't my weight
Is it already "Time" to have another one? ha ha...since ours were pretty close to each other I am starting to get worried! Are people going to start asking me if we are "Trying",,,,Nope were "Trying" to get graduated, get a home, and get on our own..now those are OK images of "Trying" right! :)
