Well, that's what the lady thought when she asked me at church. She was wrong.
Would you say we started October off with talks of a new baby? Then you would be correct. We had little Brayden join us on Thursday. He is 8 lbs of pure fun and sleepin and poopin and eatin and...
He'll be here for a short time...some mom and dad that have been sitting on a list for years are finally going to have their dream come true, and their bonus...he's super cute.
Oh, and I wore a nice, too small skirt to church the next week to show that lady that I'm just pleasantly plump, nothing else.
Hey! Wha’ Happen?

Well, I think you have got the system beat. You don't actually have to BE pregnant, just have people think you are. Then show up at church with a newborn baby. That'll get 'em talking! (Or one crazy lady at least).
If it makes you feel any better, people just look at me like I'm fat. They know better not to ask me since I'm not married!
I like the name Brayden...it's unique.
Ok, seriously, when are people going to stop asking such an inappropiate question! You'd think we were celebrities with all this "baby bump" watching!
Jenn--the next time some one asks you an inappropriate question, simply take a cue from my neighbor and respond with, "How much do you weigh?"
When will people LEARN?! You never, ever, never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless there is a baby actively trying to get out of her body at the moment of asking. That is certainly the only time it's an appropriate question.
That deserves a double snap! Why oh Why do people talk before they think? You should have said that you were preg with twin asian twins that you are planning on selling on ebay! That'll shut her up.
I love Lindy's response best. I'm totally going to use that one day when I'm not pregnant. (It wouldn't be quite as funny now.) Congrats on your new arrival. I bet he's keeping you busy. We drove by your house today (well, down that main road) and Joshua said "let's go see Sister Meyerson". I had no idea he knew where you live.
Congrats on getting a new baby who needs your love. I like all the ideas people have given you on how to deal with rude people. I guess I should try some of them.
Yes, it's all been said; I got here late. Have fun w/ your new bundle!
P.S.
Don't ever use that title again unless you really are. I almost peed a little.
A guy at work and his wife apparently waited several years to have a baby. An old old lady in their ward used to ask them every week when they were going to have kids. Finally one Sunday he said, "Well, we got it on pretty good last night, so I guess it could be any time now!" She stopped bothering him.
I guess people don't know how to be socially acceptable. I'm very sorry. But I'm not sorry that Brayden is way cute--how fun!
PS- This reminded me of that Brian Regan skit--I've learned that you never ask that ever ever ever ever. Good times...
Well, I had someone pat my stomach and say she didn't know I was expecting! Apparently I didn't know I was either. I feel your pain.
Do you know how many times my kids ask me if I have a baby in my tummy? Now THAT's embarassing!
:D
How did you get that cute pumpkin background??
We want to thank-you SOOOO much for the pic of Lexi and the DVD of Jake. We LOVE them!!!!!!! About a week after Jakes funeral Robin and I made a CD of songs that reminded us of Jake. If you (or anyone) would like a copy of it just let us know. Love ya'.
Lindy and Jackie could write a book on "great responses". I'm laughing out loud, alone!! (I need to get a life.)
I'm huge pregnant and someone asked our Primary President if I was pregnant last Sunday. "Here's your sign..." There has to be a happy middle somewhere, like don't ask!!
Good luck with the bambino!!
