1st Trimester
I heard a new one...
Reaction to my getting pregnant so soon after getting married:
"You know, it's not healthy to have too many big changes in your life in the same year."
I just rolled my eyes. What was I supposed to do? Tell her she was right and then turn back the hands of time so I could have the baby on a time table she considers "healthy?"
She probably would have passed out if I had told her we're also thinking of buying a house.

Re: I heard a new one...
In a one year time-period, I graduated college, got engaged, started a new job, moved to a new state, got married and bought a house.
A few years later, I'm having a baby & purchased a house in the same year.
I think having so many blessings close together is a happy thing...not unhealthy.
Congrats to you! And GL on continuing to ignore the crazy things people say!

DH and I bought a house together 5 months before we got married. We have been together for about 8 years and just took our time getting to the married part. Don't let other people tell you what is and isn't healthy for your life. It's your life and if you think you can handle it and are ready for it, then by all means go ahead!
A great comeback would have been, "Well, we thought about having the baby last year and getting married this year, but we figured this was the better route." LOL
~ Miscarry at 8 weeks with D&C in May 2011 (low progesterone).
~ Had a healthy baby girl in June 2012 via C-Section (on prometrium to sustain).
~ Surprise pregnancy at age 40! Baby boy due April 26, 2021 (took prometrium to sustain once pregnancy was confirmed, 3rd C-Section planned).
MY family pulled the same theing with me...and I don't think it was too close so who are they to judge? We got married in October and pregnant in March. My older cousin, however, got married in November and pregnant in February and everyone was ESTATIC!!!
Not fair, but whatever. Me and DH are thrilled to death and thats all that matters.
I moved from AZ to MO in November to be with then "boyfriend", got engaged in Feb, married in May, and a week later found out we were pregnant!! Luckily DH already had the house, with plenty of extra bedrooms ;-)
Although havent told the fam yet, little nervous because Im not currently working, and that seems to be a sore subject with them.
Yeah, people are rude and seem to have mouth vomit around pregnant women, very annoying.
We were married June '08, found out we were pregnant in March '09, I graduated from college in May '09 and now we are looking to buy a house.
My thought is, it is your life, do what you want and who cares what other people think. As long as you aren't harming anyone else they shouldn't care.
