An acquaintance, having a short conversation with me, says,

"So when are you going to have another one?" Gesturing to my dear son.

Although I feel like they punched me in the gut, I smile and say lightly (and vaguely),

"We're not sure yet. Maybe when Holden is a little older."

When what I'd really like to say is this:

"I just had a kid last year. A kid that you don't see here because she is dead."

How do you think they would respond to that? *awkward silence*

On that light note, I will say I am at the point of considering trying to get pregnant again.

I said considering. I'm certainly not announcing anything--there is such a long leap from considering to trying. Based upon the beginning of this post, perhaps I'm not quite ready.

Maybe someday, when Holden is a little older.
