Today I am thinking about a time when I was pregnant with my youngest and a coworker asked me if it was my first baby. To which I replied, “no, it’s my fourth.” And they proceeded to ask me, “do they all have the same dad?” And at the time I thought, well isn’t this an intrusive co-worker? But, looking back, now I wonder, what about me sparked the desire to ask that question? Or, is it common for someone to ask someone who is pregnant and has other kids if they were impregnated by the same person for all of them?

Love,
