Everybody has that one Question that they get asked.
It’s usually an important Question. One for which they don’t know the answer. You meet a person and get to know them just the right amount and then they ask you the Question. You don’t have the answer but you wish you did.
Your Question changes over time as your life changes. For example, as a college student your Question might be “What are you going to do when you graduate?” Or if you’re someone whose been dating a great person who just seems right your Question might be “When are you two going to get married?” Perhaps you have been employed for 40 years and your Question is “What are you going to do when/if you retire?”
These are important Questions and if your life was planned out you would know the exact answer. But let’s face it. Life can’t really truly be planned can it? It’s not that you haven’t asked yourself your Question. It’s not that you haven’t wanted to know the answer to your Question. It’s just that you know that you can’t possibly know the answer. Not yet.
Things just have their way of working themselves out. Then one day you find the answer to your Question. And you know.
What is my Question you ask? That one Question that I get all the time but I never know the answer? Simple. I always get asked the Question: “When are going to have your first baby?”
The thing is, things have their way of working themselves out. And now I know.
My answer is this June.

and so i see you've made a happy announcement here: congratulations to you and your husband on your coming baby! very cool.
here's my Question to you (and I ask b/c all three of my children are Asian, adopted): you look as if you are half Asian. Are you? Well anyway, it's okay if you don't want to answer; a bit personal for a first-time visitor, I know!
Congrats, again.
Congrats!!1 I guess the next big question is: when are you going to go crazy??? The answer: June.
