(I've been super duper busy at work and haven't had time to blog all week till today. I finally caught up on my fellow bloggy buddies. And no worries, I'm here and doing well.)
Today, I'm bracing myself. I've been looking forward to today because we will be going to a baby lu'au. (First year baby party). But then I realized this morning, crap, people will most likely be bombarding us with questions of ....when will you guys be having kids? I hate those questions. I know they are well intended, but really, how the heck do you answer that question when you've gone through two miscarriages and have not been able to TTC for the past 6 months? My DH, he's a rock. He's totally not worried about it, and will likely say something like -- well, when it happens -- or some other similar response. I'm trying to take his approach, but I dunno, I feel like I'm more of a planner, and want to have a response "gun" ready. And no, i'm not one of those people that can get all haughty in my response....so whatever it is I say, it's got to be nice. Hmmmm..........any suggestions?
CD 11 today --- it's looking like my cycles are still the same very very long 33-36 days...so I wont be Oing for another week and a half. Man, oh man, it seems like all I'm ever doing on this journey is waiting!!!
I usually just say "hopefully soon" or "we're trying, keep your fingers crossed". Unless it is someone I am not close to, then I say, very politely of course, "I would rather not discuss it" If they persist, something snarky definately follows.
ReplyDeleteAhhh . . . I hate those well meaning questions, too. People want the best for you and just don't understand how insensitive and hurtful they can be sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMy standard answer was always, "We'll see" and then quickly change the subject. Not very clever but simple.
