Have you had people commenting ...

"Hey did you hear about the woman who had octuplets? Consider yourself lucky you only had two!" (From parents of singletons, of course. ;))

Re: Have you had people commenting ...

  • Not yet but I have a dress fitting this weekend for my SIL wedding so I'm sure I will get comments like that.

  • Um, if I heard another person at work mention it to me or send me the link to the story, I might have hurt myself.  I have a lot of respect for that woman (especially since she made it to 30 weeks or so) but it's not necessary to mention it to me each time you pass me in the halls!
  • Constantly! It's always "Did you hear about..." or "I heard about... and thought of you."
    Um, ok, big difference there, but I'll take my twins and be happy! :)

  • Yes, I've gotten a million comments. The one that really gets me is - "You think you have it bad- just think of that poor woman with octuplets!"

    #1 - I don't think I have it bad. I feel very lucky and excited.

    #2 - The woman with octuplets is also blessed that her children are alive and healthy. She was also in a very different situation than I am in for her to get pregnant with 8 babies!

  • I had several people comment on it to me!
  • Yes, all day yesterday!  I even had a few this morning.
  • Its been mentioned to me more than a few times, what really surprises me is how everyone says its an act of God. No its an act of science. Its not a fluke she got preganat with 8 babies.
  • Unfortunately, EVERYONE feels the need to share this information with me and THEN make a ignorant comment about me and them...jerks.
  • yeah what is with that! lol I ran to walmart earlier and was waiting on a prescription for the boys and like 3 people came up to me and said that.
  • I got that 3 different times at work today.
