Dear Family

1)  Yes.  Labor contractions are totally VOLUNTARY muscle contractions.  I'm actually ignoring your helpful suggestions to "Have that baby already" just to be selfish and drain your vacation time in January.

2)  Yes.  You should totally drive up to Seattle tomorrow.  Induction?  Of course, they ALWAYS induce pregnant women on their due dates or why would they call it a due date?  You're so smart.

3) Yes.  I sincerely believe that you're "So sorry" about me squeezing a tiny human out of my body when you bring it up so often around DH and do that wheezy laugh/cough thing that you do.

4) Yes.  I will totally call you the second I go into labor so you can rush to the hospital.  I am definitely going to have this baby in 3 hours flat and want hordes of visitors exactly like your coworker's daughter.

5) Of course I feel lovely and I'm in a fantastic mood.  Why do you ask?

Oh, that sounds like a whole lot of not fun. Family can really amaze you sometimes...hope they settle down a bit.

I hear ya girl!   My family keeps asking me if I think its going to be this week or next week so they can plan ahead...   Why do people think we know?  Ugh... very annoying!

Stop answering the phone or have DH screen calls for you. I remember DREADING answering the phone. Hang on tight 'cause it only gets worse. Good thing is, it will be over soon and you guys will get to meet your new little ones.

Oh my goodness Apple.  I totally empathize, I remember all those oh-so-wonderful comments from my family members when I was PG with Payton.  I quit answering the phone the week of my due date because people were irritating me, you can do the same!!  (I specifically remember my sister calling me on her drive up to Seattle from Oregon saying how I "better have that baby ASAP" because she was only staying for a week, baby or not.  Ummmm.... ok.  I was so mad at her, I couldn't even talk and I hung up on her!  lol)

Hang in there woman!!

People are so rude! Don't answer the phone or call people back. Make your DH do it!

I feel your pain, sister....I feel your pain.

Wow...Now there is something to look forward to. Family can be so ridiculous sometimes.

Our family did the same thing. "Should I buy plane tickets for this weekend?" Um, I don't know. Also, every time we called anyone we had to start the conversation off with "I'm not in labor," and then go on to whatever we wanted to talk about.
