You'll love this story.
My mother happened to be pregnant about the same time my SO and I got together. From the start, my SO has made it clear to my family--my grandmother most specifically (she's kinda in charge), that he intends to marry me. My mother ended up losing the baby, but my grandmother had gotten a good collection of baby stuff together. All that stuff has now been put in storage. But my grandmother made it very clear that my SO and I have dibs on it once we start giving her great-grandchildren. My SO and I essentially put our crib, our car seat, and our other baby things in storage. We were loading up his car and we had to keep (kiddingly) reminding the other that we were only 19, but we were in fact loading our future baby stuff into the car. My grandmother overheard us and took us seriously apparently, so that night she emailed me saying that she did not mean to add pressure. She has 5 other grandchildren who can put the baby things to use. I am simply the oldest one and the one with someone with whom I could marry (most likely first) and be th first grandchild to have children, so obviously I get "first dibs".
My grandmother just wants another baby around. You can just tell. My father has made jokes once or twice too (first one being when I had been with my SO for a month) about me changing my name when I marry him. My initials are all M's except my last one, which is an O. My SO's last initial is an M. My dad made alot of Campbell soup jokes. My dad then learned that I would like to do what my grandmother did and drop my middle name and make my last name my middle name, making me MOM. The jokes haven't stopped.

We are still quite young (19 and 22) but my mum will always say "you're going to come back either pregnant or engaged" before I leave to vist him
