and the number 1 question after Congratulations is...

for the polite:
"So, when are you having kids?" or "can't wait to see what your kids will look like" or "Are you going to have kids right away?"

For the more forward:
"I'll babysit!" or "Baby shower this next year?" or "when do I get to by your kid's favorite auntie/uncle?"

And for the cut it straight to the point:
"Are you pregnant yet?"

and from our videographer who we asked to go interview folks, he tells us in the 4 hours of video, that people are wishing us to have:

a) at least 2 kids
b) a football team (is that 11 players on the field or the full team of 53?)
c) a trillion kids (I vote to have no more kids than my grandmother and depending on which grandmother it is, that would be no more than 4 or 12)

AND our answer is:
d) 3 kids, but not until after the France/Spain trip next year.

I take all of it with all the good intentions because I really do adore children and look forward to having my own. I'd have them this year, but I want to drink and eat and be merry in Europe. The number 1 piece of advice I got from numerous friends with small children, travel as much as you can before the kids come. Otherwise it's earplugs and children's benadryl.

In the meantime, uncle hubby will make numerous trips across the bay to practice on the 4 year old and the twin newborns. And now that we're married, that means that auntie wifey will have to come along too to save uncle hubby from pulling his hair out.
