Oops, She did it again

A friend of mine is pregnant with her third child, and has recently been complaining to me that the reactions she has been getting from people when she tells them the news is quite shocking. Most people just naturally assume it was an accident because a.) her youngest is only 13 1/2 months old, and b.) three children is apparently an obscene number of children. When in actuality it was an extremely planned pregnancy. If you know this friend you know what I mean. My reaction was... I warned you. I have been dealing with this since the announcement of my 2nd pregnancy too. Now my situation has just gotten worse. Since Corbin has recently turned one I now have the unfortunate task of telling people that I have a one and a two year old, a.k.a. pulling a Britney, but I have to say in my defense my kids are 21 months apart and I'm country like that... just kidding on the second one there. So I only have to endure this for 3 months (every year for the rest of my life). But what I do have to endure is the constant speculation that my son was an accident. And I just want to say to everyone out there who may of ever wondered or is currently pondering asking this question to anyone. It's none of your business, and it's rude to ask... so don't. And by the way no he wasn't (a bit of suprise maybe, but not an accident). And in Britney's defense now that she has discoverd that you can apparently teach an 8 month old to drive, she might as well have another one in case K-Fed needs his own designated driver.
