starting to get looks, 2 toddlers and a belly

CaitlinJ22 · January 2012

So my 17 week belly looks a lot bigger this time, and I get looks already. Its actually funny. With DD I was worried about what people thought, now I laugh. I live in a very baby bunching friendly area, but still you have people who stare and dont know what to think when I have my just 3 year old, 19 month old and growing belly.

haha, it should be fun towards the end

If we decide to go for a third I'd love similar spacing. Our boys are 21 months apart. I'd like to do similar spacing if we have a third. I've been told that would be crazy and to wait. I'd prefer to have them all somewhat similarly spaced though, not have the first two 21 months apart and then a few years between the second and third. If we're not ready for a third a few months after DS 2 turns one we'll most likely stick with two.

I am in the same boat with a 3 year old and 19 month old.! I'm not even 10 weeks yet so I'm still

trying to hide my bump. I haven't even thought about how strangers will react but I know our friends will be surprised. Just take everything in stride...

Oh I get those looks all the time. Usually they ask how old my boys are and I tell them 2.5 yo and 15 months then they ask when I'm due. When I say June they look at me like I'm crazy or say "you're going to have your hands full". I usually laugh and say its fun.

Last spring I was at Target 20+ weeks pregnant with #2, and had my 14 month old and the 10 week old I baby sat with me. The looks I got were priceless! If I we go for a third, I'd like to try as soon as DD2 turns one, so they are about 21 months apart. DD1 and DD2 are 19 months, so the looks and comments should be interesting

I get weird looks ALL THE TIME, as well as "are they all yours?" more often than you would think, just have to laugh it off!

I am sure you get looks. I was sitting a table with my friends child while she took the older to the potty, I had my two as well. THe woman who worked their came up to me and said "I have to ask, are they all yours?" there were only 3...she acted like it was a crazy sight

I'm getting some looks from strangers, but I've been getting more smiles from people when they notice. Of course, since I got laid off, the kids and I are out and about during the day more when it's a lot of old people and SAHM, so they probably understand.

I got looks and comments like crazy. "wow, you're having another?!" etc. I just learned to laugh it off and ignore them. The comments won't stop once LO is here either. We have been out several times with all 3.
