Yeah, we really do keep getting that question. I have been asked FOUR times by bosses at work. I don't know how to answer without being a smarty-pants, so I've resorted to saying, "Well, I'm showing up here everyday and I don't have a baby strapped to my back so, no, we don't have a baby yet". Ironically, that response always gets a laugh, but my "mad-dog" glare does not. Weird, right?! On the other hand, Craig just takes the question in stride and politely tells people that we are hopeful and optimistic.
We're starting to feel like we are staring in a new Verizon commercial that's more about babies and less about cell phones. That being said, we're really looking forward to the day that people ask us silly questions and we can look at them whilst simultaneously pointing to our baby. We can dream, can't we?!
After our last post I was reminded of a couple gems I didn't post in the "Don't say this" category...
1. I don't believe in adoption. (YES, this was actually said to me and no, I don't know why)
2. Why don't you have kids yet? You've been married long enough to have a family.
3. You aren't getting any younger. (Thanks. We hadn't added age concerns to the equation)
In other news:
We (finally) finished our photo book and delivered it to our attorney. Yay for MS Publisher, Kinko's and a really smart friend/coworker who enjoys pointing out the obvious to me. (Thanks Lisa!!) We have had a couple contacts with people and our attorney is passing our info along so we are really hoping something comes about soon.
Keep your eyes open for a post that screams 'YES, WE'VE HEARD SOMETHING, now get ready to babysit' :-)
