This is what I was told today by a coworker, who I never speak to at that. I was so taken off guard that I didn't even have a come back. I have prepared myself to hear it all, but not this one. I have been through IF hell, so I am thrilled that I am having twins!
Re: "I must be depressed that I am having twins" ::eye roll::
Why would you be depressed? People are seriously ridiculous.
As mean as this sounds, I've actually been trying to avoid seeing my more "extended" coworkers recently. Maybe you could try that? People are just trying to be sweet, but hearing the same questions and comments over and over gets a little tiring. I want to tattoo "My due date is December 2nd. They're identical boys. No, twins don't run in my family. I'm feeling tired and uncomfortable. I'm aware that I look like I'm going to deliver tomorrow. Maybe I will. Let's not worry about it or joke about it" on my forehead.
Lost our first little peanut on 1/17/2012 at 9 weeks and 5 days. We miss you little blessing, but we know you were too perfect for this world.

I should try that lol! The bathroom seems to be the place where I get all the comments. Maybe I should use the lobby bathroom to avoid, plus it is closer than the office bathroom.
Wow....
People never cease to amaze me.
One coworker (I have only told 1 or 2) said "do you think thats a good idea?"
Kinda too late now huh?!?! lol...

What do they possibly think you can do about it now, like you would even want to do anything about it?! People have some nerve!
I should get this tattoo with you! Even our due dates the same!
People are idiots.
When I was pregnant and told someone I was having two, she said, "I'm so sorry!" Like I had just told her that my grandmother died. I just said, "I'm not."
I am only 14 weeks and I would be rich if I got a $1 for every time someone asked if they run in the family. I have has 2 people say they are so jealous. They wouldn't be if they knew I had to do DE to get here.
Hahaha...nice.
This. I didn't get the depressed comment, but I got this exact comment. I didn't think too much of it, though, because this particular coworker also told me that "having a baby was like having a dog, only cooler".
