So Stephy's daycare teacher asked when I was having Baby #2...

I am trying so hard not to be angry because I absolutely adore Stephanie's daycare teacher...she is a total sweetheart and Stephy loves her. And I believe she was really just trying to make polite conversation. If I was not struggling so much I would not have given it another thought but I seriously felt like I wanted to cry, like I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me up. This is not the first time she brought it up either...last time I kind of shrugged it off and quickly changed the topic. I guess I didn't nip it in the bud fast enough.  Today when she brought it up was talking about how important it is for kids to have a sibling in their life, etc. she saw that I was a bit put off and when I kind of did not answer her she asked me if everything was okay.  I could not stop the word vomit from coming so I just said "We have been trying for awhile to give Stephy a sibling but are having trouble, we hope it will happen soon" and then I called for her to come get her coat so we could leave, etc.  She just said "oh honey I am so sorry...I hope it happens soon" and I could tell she felt terrible for mentioning it.

UGHHH!!!!!  It does not help that this morning before we left for school she randomly said "I want a baby!" to me. Maybe she says it at school and that's why the teacher brought it up? It's only a matter of time before she begins asking for a brother or sister now. Kill me please. (

My DD asks often about having a baby brother AND sister. I'm not mad or anything though, she just wants one like us!

Ugh! Serves her right for being nosy!  I am at the point of irritation with IF right now that I tell people exactly what the problem is to shame them into keeping their d@mn mouth shut for the next infertile myrtle.

Can you tell I am OTR today? haha
