Still giggling from comments @ my shower

lynn97

I had my first baby shower this past weekend and it was great. It was a "family" shower hosted by my sister and aunt.   I had been really worried b/c virtually nothing had been purchased from our registries the day before. Well, apparently people shopped that day (and some things were bought that weren't on the registries that were still necessary items). I was very relieved. More importantly, I felt so incredibly loved and blessed by my family.

One comment is still making me giggle, though. Several of my aunts and uncles mentioned how proud they are of me. Um, thanks? (Yes, I realize that I have waited to have kids until DH and I can afford them, I just finished my MBA, own a home, etc.) But really, all I was hearing was that they were proud of me for getting pregnant, which basically equalled "we're so proud of you for having sex".  Anyway, I know this is silly, but it made me giggle to myself then and is still making me giggle a bit today

Me too! I actually told DH one day I think it's funny when you think about pregnant women because we're basically walking billboards that scream "I GOT LAID!" He apparently hadn't really realized that and instantly got embarrassed at the thought that people knew what we did. HAHAHA

Haha...Fairly early my BFF looked at me and said "You realize your parents now know you have sex. I mean, you are married so one assumes you would be having sex, but now that you are knocked up, they KNOW you have sex."

Yeah, I know it's silly that this makes me laugh, but it does.  Kind of like how my DH has joked several times when I went out w/o him to not go home w/someone else. The first time he made the crack, I looked at him strange and he said "well you obviously put out".  (I know, tacky, but this is just how DH and I joke )

This is what I kept thinking when I first told my parents I was pregnant. And really, I'm 31 and married, I'm sure they assume we have sex, but still?? It was super-awkward for me for no real reason.

On the theme of funny comments said at a baby showerr. I was at my cousin's baby shower yesterday and my grandmother, who has alzheimer's, was there as well. She looked at me and said that I must be having twins because my "tits" were so big. She said this quite loudly. I thought they actually looked small in comparison to my bump.

Re: your parents now knowing you've had sex- when we told my mom, she said some of her coworkers had been asking if MH and I had kids yet and saying that maybe she should have a talk with us. I told her to tell them thanks, but we figured it out ourselves. Did they think we needed "the talk"? We are educated adults, we know how babies are made!!
