I know. maybe we should have an FF meetup if I come to the US.

You should do something funny KT. It's the last year you will be the youngest in the family. Next year there will be a baby.

But yeah it's so interesting thinking about how long we've all been here. 8 years? We've seen members go from grade schoolers to college students, and now we have people having babies! FF babies!

But I don't blame Hessah for not announcing it until now and so casually. I don't know about over there, but in a lot of cultures it's taboo to announce a pregnancy before 3 months since the first trimester is such a fragile state.

Oh yeah sorry I started the derailing keke

Thanks Yosei and Vasu!

Well yeah it's weird, coz at the beginning I want yell it to the world! But I'm not suppose to, and by the time I can tell everyone it feels like old news LOL so I didn't do any big announcements, just whatsapped people or tell them when the conversation comes up like now LOL

You should've just let your tummy grow and when people point it out act super surprised.

**Hessah** · 11-13-2015, 01:25 AM

Yeah I'm waiting for the other half of the office to say something... xD

I want to know at what point will it become so obvious that it's no longer rude for them to ask "are you pregnant?"

**Yosei** · 11-13-2015, 05:41 AM

Well you seem like you don't exactly have a plump figure so there will definitely be a point. While for some women, you sadly can't tell until it's closer toward the end. Then again we are all taught to never ask a woman if she is pregnant. Even if she looks like she's swallowed a watermelon.

**Hessah** · 11-13-2015, 05:46 AM

LOL and one thing I learned (from others) is that once someone told you they are pregnant, don't ask them "are you sure you're not having twins?" That's pretty offensive too, but people don't realise.

**Yosei** · 11-13-2015, 06:00 AM

Personally I wouldn't be offended. I'd just make a joke.

"Oh wow, are you pregnant???"
"What? Me? No! I'm just storing fat for the winter..."
