Really now

I have to start with saying this baby was so planned! Since I am now showing a little baby bump I have been getting a lot of comments. Most of them are awesome and heart warming, however there are a few clients at the salon that I just don't think know me well enough to be voicing their opinions. Granted maybe it is just my crankiness, I keep my calm with them, but seriously? The comments range from, you are so young, (they don't even know how old I am, they guess 20. I guess that could be a compliment) you just got married, do you know how expensive kids are? Yes, we are quite aware of all of this! My point is, most of these people don't know our backgrounds, nor should they feel it's ok to say these things. As everyone knows, we were both married before, have been in our professions for a long time, we have owned many houses. Honestly we have been through a lot in our age, more than most people. I feel like we have a head start because we have been through so much and overcame it. We are so ready to start our lives together! One person asked if we had gone on a honeymoon. I responded "No, but we plan to do something before the baby comes." I mean, we did just pay for our wedding ourselves! She added "Well you should've traveled all you wanted before you had kids! You won't be able to once they come." I really feel that I have travelled quite a bit. I've been to 5 different countries in Europe. All over the U.S. including Hawaii. We are actually looking forward to taking vacations with our kids. I don't understand why people think having children would be a hindrance. Yes we realize it's one more person to pay for, but I guess it just depends on your point of view. Maybe it is just that we are so excited about having kids that we can't wait to share our lives with them. I don't think that because you have children you are tied down. We find it as an excuse to have even more fun. I really miss my clients from Colorado, the ones that had been through EVERYTHING with me. They could give real advice, based on a history that we had together. I knew some of those people for almost 10 years. They were such a support through everything that I went through, and I know they are so happy for me now. I still keep in contact with quite a few of them. They are so excited for us and have nothing but good things to say. I guess I should just tune out those that don't know me, or us. Now don't get me wrong. We do go through the occasional freak out. Thinking about what we don't want our kids to have to go through, or all of the what if's. I think that just makes us realistic though. So I guess I have to say, Thank You!!! To everyone that has been so supportive!
