Crazy responses to our 3rd baby

You guys, I cannot even tell you the crazy things some people have told us when we told them about baby #3. Some reactions were all fun and games and other were downright rude (I think). I love that my bloggy friends are not part of this group as you were all so excited for us. Thank you for that by the way.

The only appropriate response to someone announcing (with excitement I might add) that they are expecting a baby is: Congratulations or something along those lines. If you don't approve of their choice for growing a family, keep it to yourself or only share if they ask. I am only sharing this because it's funny now in hindsight, I am not actually mad or annoyed anymore.

Anyway here are some of the crazy questions with the answers that I provided and the answers I was really thinking in my head :). Enjoy

Are you guys excited?

My response - Yes we are (as if you couldn't tell from all the excitement in our voices)
My response in my head - Nah we are not excited, what are you going to do about it? who asks these kinds of questions?

Was this baby planned or was this an accident?
My response - Planned, desired, and loved
My response in my head - First off that is none of your business but really girl, I am a grown ass woman who knows how babies are made. I do think that accidents happen but in our case we've been lucky that we've never had to worry about it. Plus so what if it was an accident, we are excited so should you.

Are you guys crazy? Can you handle all these kids?

My response - God always provide and yes we are probably crazy

My response in my head - Well, so what if we are crazy, how is that affecting your life. Since when is having 3 kids a crazy number of kids? we still have one hand available for another kid just so you know

There is no way I could possibly handle 3 kids 3 and under

My response - Good thing you are not having 3 kids 3 and under

My response in my head - It's not about you boo, when you are having your babies, don't do 3 kids 3 and under. For our family this is working out just fine.

Man, you are going to have your hands full
My response - Oh we know and we are ready for that
My response in my head - If you think that my hands are full, you should see my heart

I guess you are trying for that girl huh?

My response - Of course we are, we'll keep trying until we have one (I had to be funny)

My response in my head - Really crazy, maybe we are just trying to expand our family. Of course we would love a girl but really we want 4 kids and if that means we'll have 4 boys then thanks be to God. Plus so what if we are trying for that girl :).

You know you can have sexy time without making babies right?

My response - Really? we had no idea

My response in my head - For real, you think you have jokes

Are you trying to be like the Duggar

My response - No, they have 19 kids and we are only on baby #3

My response in my head - So what if we were trying to be like the Duggar, what does that do to you?

Man your kids are going to be really close in age

My response - It's ok, we got it

My response in my head - Actually my kids are not that close in age, a 2-year gap and an 18-month gap is actually pretty normal. It's not like we were having Irish twins or anything :).

Yeah, pretty funny right. I suppose everyone is excited for you when you are having 2 babies after that, it's time for crazy questions. At least in America, crazy Americans :).

I leave you with my favorite pics from our recent photo shoot. Tman was crazy as always, Jbird was mellow. I am surprised that we got any decent pics. This is why I love getting professional pics done, we always end up with some great pics no matter how crazy our Tman is.

This is my current favorite pic of me and my Jbirda little overexposed but still great

Isn't this the cutest face you've ever seen

My new favorite of the boys, I am not even sure how we got such a good pic but I love it

My favorite pic of Tman, too bad it's his back, I still love it though

 Look at my Jbird walking on grass and being a little unsure about it but looking oh so cool

And of course my favorite family picture right now with all 5 of us :)

The photographer did a great job. I found him through a living social deal. So worth it. I am planning on using these for our Christmas cards too, win win.
