My rude comment...
So, my DH gets coffee on the weekend mornings at a coffee shop that is right next door to where I work during the week. A group of guys hang out there and one of them is very conservative and speaks his mind about everything. While my DH was there he was giving him a hard time about me being pregnant with triplets. A few others chimed in "when are you going to get a second job?" and other things that don't offend us at all, its just that they don't know what to say.
This morning before coming in to work, I stopped by and grabbed my de-caff mocha and the barista started complaining about this guy. She was saying, "I kept telling him you have THREE babies in there and to leave you alone". I said "why?" Apparently he was talking about how big I am. I have not seen him in a few months, so this is odd... Not only that, at 24 weeks, I look like I'm about 35 weeks along or maybe even less which isn't as bad as I expected. I have friends who are 36w with a singleton and they are bigger than me.
So I guess he went on to complain about population control, etc, etc. I am pissed. I want to tell him to take a walk in my shoes. Yeah, we did only want two children, that was our plan for our family and we don't judge others families. But, you go to an ultrasound and be told you have 3 babies who at 12 weeks LOOK like babies and are all perfectly healthy and then tell me you can decide "oh, you two here, you aren't good enough so I think I'll kill you" Mmmhmm, thats going to happen.
The other barista (who is actually the owner) is about 5 weeks farther along than me and she was so angry hearing about it she was nearly in tears. Next time I see this a$$hole, he will get a piece of my mind. Don't mess with the pregant lady.

Steal my kids picture or pretend they are yours, I will find where you live and ship all of their dirty diapers to your doorstep. Promise.

Re: My rude comment...
What an idiot. Our population growth in this country is borderline pitiful so consider yourself as doing a service for future generations. if you want stats, I'll give you some stuff to throw in his face while you yell at him. Yeah I'm about to let out my hormones vicariously through you : )
I'm sorry you had to hear that. People are a-holes sometimes.
EWWW...what an attitude.
At least you'll be raising four solid citizens who are complete ass#s!
I can't believe how many just plain mean comments everyone is hearing lately! My mom always says that when you hear things like that you have to "consider the source"... which usually makes me feel better : ) Not sure if you saw my post over the weekend, but we also had some guy say to my husband "Why don't you have a few more?" in a sarcastic tone.
Not sure why having 4 children seems so odd to people. We've always known we wanted 3 or 4 kids but I never thought we'd get some many opinions about it.
he doesn't sound like a conservative. he sounds like a jackass... and maybe a little "off". are you sure you shouldn't just avoid him as much as possible?
Don't let it bother you!! Easier said than done, I know! Just soak in the comments from the little old ladies who love the number of kids you'll have. It's definitely not a popular decision to have four kids or more, I know! When I'm out with all four of mine, I get crazy comments and looks, but I just choose to focus on the positive, cherish my kids, and remember that all that's important is that we wanted and love our larger than average family. They are so lucky to have each other and to be so close in age. I already see just a great relationship between my oldest daughters and can't wait until they are all truly playing together.
And, don't even think twice about your size while you're pregnant with triplets!! Grow some big, healthy babies!

Wow! That's pretty bad! Like you had any control over your trips! If God has seen fit to bless you with four children whose business is it but yours? You should tell the guy to shove his opinion where the sun doesn't shine!
Go Team Hormone!!! : )
