I get phone calls, text messages, and facebook messages from the same people at least every other day, if not every day. My mom, little sis, grandma, soon to be SIL, and two bf's. "How are you feeling?" "Any signs yet?" "We're just waiting for the call!" "Let us know when you're in labor!"
Ugh! I have ZERO signs and ZERO news. Trust me, if something happens I will tell you!

With #1 I had to keep reminding myself that they are just so excited and plus they don't understand how many people you hear that from every day.
When they got the call at 3 am that I was heading for the hospital (their request), but they didn't need to come right now, they didn't like that they were up for the rest of the morning. This time they want us to call when they should come.
HYSTERICAL
I SO feel your pain... I hope for your sake that things happen for you as close to your EDD as possible! (I see that's soon, congrats!)
I am 4 days overdue and let me tell you it only gets worse! In addition to the 'any baby yet?'s and the 'how are you feelings?' I'm getting suggestions for every OWT in the book, plus some I've never even heard of. And 'Hurry up and have that baby!' or 'You need to have that baby by this day because I have plans.'
My cousin even texts me to tell me that her daughter is getting a first place softball trophy and she wants me to 'have the baby already' so she can take a pic with him and her trophy... People are seriously obnoxious!
Um... I guess I needed to vent too.
yup. I've had it bookmarked for a while now.. Im planning on using this when I, too, get these messages. I won't answer my phone and this will be my status for weeks until LO comes.
LMAO!!! Awsome.
I told BIL yesterday that trying to predict a baby was like trying to predict an earthquake.
This is currently my FB status!
Oh man... my mom keeps asking me 'Still feeling movement?' 'Has she dropped yet?'
Uh, no. I told you just the other day that I've has absolutely zero progress. This baby is totally comfy where she is.
I to am being driven crazy by my family! We have told them over and over again that we will call them when something happens. My Dad calls on monday and says he is getting impatient and needs me to call him everyday until baby arrives! UM NO! He thinks he is impatient... this is my baby!
Thanks for venting though it gave us all a good way to vent it in a healthy way without making our families hate us! Hope it gets better for you!
We actually found out today that we are getting induced on wednesday but we re not telling parents until we get there and have something to tell them. Should I feel bad for leaving them completely in the dark?
I get that too...even from my DH! He reminded me that he's supposed to go back to work on the 7th (I'm due on the 6th). I reminded him that I have no control over when LO comes! He was just like "oh yea".
I was trying to avoid this by sending out a family wide e-mail thinking it would make people happy....it didn't. Dh's family finds it "weird".
A picture is worth a thousand words. I'd bet money your words are ignorant.
My sister called last night and I answered "Still pregnant. Anything else?" If I get random calls then I like to call people out on it. Cut the crap, we both know why you're calling, so you can throw the lame excuse away.
I love that website and I am a couple of days away from having that be my FB status as well.
I'm glad I'm not the only one fielding these calls/texts/fb/emails....this is now posted on my front door....thought you might enjoy!!!
