WHAT NOT TO SAY

When someone announces that they are having a baby, here is a list of what NOT to say:

~Was it planned?

~Aren't you overpopulating the world?

~I thought you were done!

~How are you going to afford it?

~Why?

what wonderful news! Congratulations!

My mother always said babies bring their own welcome. I think she was right.

I had my third boy five years after the other two and it was an absolute joy being a mother to him. The older boys were at school and I was an experienced and more relaxed mother, and he was a very sweet natured boy. The other two loved having a baby brother and helped out with keeping him entertained when I was busy, or on that odd occasion when you just seem to need three hands, lol (every day, lol).

I hope you have an easy pregnancy and enjoy the experience.

Thank you Burning Moon! I appreciate hearing about your experiences with having three. This baby will close to five years younger than Liam too. Three hands would be handy - or more!

None of your business.

How long has your ignorance been running like drool out of your mouth?

Guess not!

None of your business.

Because we wanted to.

But I've been known to be rude.

Julia, Am absolutely thrilled with your news of another little one joining your family. How lucky is this child going to be!!? You and Craig are wonderful parents. Growing magic certainly takes priority over writing poetry. Love to you both & MH and Liam too!.
