He thinks I'm in labor
Yesterday morning I sent my ex a text asking if he has my duffle bag because I wanted to pack my hospital stuff in that instead of the 2 bags I have them in now. He said yes, and that he needed to clean if first. So today he texted me asking if I still needed the bag. I said I still want it back but I don't need it right away because I already packed my hospital stuff. I just decided it would be easier to have my labor stuff in my backpack and the stuff for after labor in another bag that I can leave in the car until I need it.
I don't think he understands that you pack the bag before you go to the hospital because then he texted me asking when I am going to the hospital. I didn't respond because my lawyer said I don't have to tell him anything I am not comfortable with letting him know and if I tell him if/when I am going to the hospital I know he would show up and try to get into the room. About 20 minutes after he sent the text his roommate called me. I think they thought they were being clever thinking since I don't answer ex's calls that I would answer if someone else called. Luckily I have his roommates number saved so I knew not to answer. He left a voicemail saying to call him back and it is really important. Obviously I didn't call back.
That was a couple hours ago. I just got a call from my friend who is going to be there when I have the baby - she told me that she got a call from his roommate but since she didn't recognize the number she answered. He asked her if I am in labor and she said that they should bring that up with me because she is not going to give out my information (yay friend!). He told her that they have been calling a lot of people and all the hospitals in the area.
According to him he has a "moral obligation" to be there.

Re: He thinks I'm in labor
Too bad he doesn't have any kind of obligation to be there, and you don't have any obligation to tell him anything! Besides, you have to hold in that little baby until Sunday so I can win the bet, anyways. :P
Sounds like just another way to try and control you by calling all around to find out if you are in labor. Since he's doing that, when you really are in labor, I wouldn't tell too many people so it doesn't get back to him.
That's my plan. I am thinking that the only person I will tell is my friend who is going to be there with me. I also have to call my work supervisor but he knows the situation.
I don't think I'll tell anyone else if I go before then but I did tell a couple people I am close to about the induction. Ex doesn't know any of them besides the friend he already called though. When I go into labor my roommate is going to be very offended if I don't tell her but considering her reaction last time and the fact that she is sure she is going to be in the room and wants to hold the baby right away I think I will wait to tell her. I don't know what to do about that...
