Ask Away!
I’m not pregnant. Thomas and I have been married for more than a year now and I’m still not pregnant. It’s not from lack of trying. It’s not because I don’t like kids. It’s not because we’re waiting for him to get through school. It’s not because we’re trying to prove a point. I’m just not pregnant. I’m not stressed out about it, it’s not controlling my life, the sky hasn’t fallen but I do think about it. Mostly I think about the many different ways I can respond when someone asks us about it. I’m thinking there are a few responses that could get people to blush a little and make them feel awkward about asking the question. Hey, I might as well have some fun with the situation. On second thought, just thinking about the responses is causing me to blush. No, I couldn’t really pull off those responses without embarrassing myself, I guess you’re all safe for now. In the meantime I'll enjoy what I have right now, which is oddly similar to this minus the kid.

I am still waiting for that point in marriage that people will stop asking us "so when are you jumping on the kid bandwagon?" Almost 4 years in, there seems to be no end in sight. Dan and I have concocted a variety of different responses, most of which I can't remember on the spot. Some of my favorites are that Dan wants 9 kids and I therefore refuse to put out. Or that I want enough kids to make sure I don't have to do ANY chores around the house, and we just can't figure out how to skip them straight out of the diaper phase and into the slave stage. And I have been tempted MANY times to just get a tatoo on my belly that says "just fat" so the next time someone asks me when I am due, I can just pull up my shirt and give them my response.
I'm glad you have a positive outlook on people asking you, I often just want to scream "mind your own damn business!". But I don't.
