Week 13 - Still not telling...

Can you believe we've kept it a secret this long? Now I suppose we're really in the clear, but I still worry. I also don't like the comment I know we'll get:

  • Was this planned?
  • Don't you know what causes that?
  • How many are you going to have?
  • Are you done?
  • Where will you put this one?
  • What does your family think?

I suppose I'm ungrateful, but it annoys me. I have plenty of flippant answers ready for when we do tell. Actually, truth be told, I just want to hear a simple congratulations. The same as you'd say for any baby.
