If one more person asks when I thinking baby is coming...

I swear I'm going to scream.  I know everyone is just excited, and I really do feel like a jerk for getting annoyed by this, but seriously.  Here are just a few of the questions I receive daily from my family:

~When do you think the baby will come?  Answer-I'm really not sure.  ~Do you think it will be this week?  Answer-Maybe so, but still...not sure.  ~How much do you think he weighs?  Answer-12 lbs...really?  ~Do you think he could come on Thursday because I'm off work (believe it or not, I have gotten so many variations of this question it's ridiculous)?  Answer-I will give him the memo.

Anyone else tired of these questions?  Please tell me I'm not the only pregnant jerk around here.  I want to turn my phone off so badly, but I don't want to freak my husband out if he tries to get in touch with me.

    I know! It's SO annoying. Today is my mom's birthday so she keeps telling me I should have him today... like I get to choose.

     I also have an appointment with an ultrasound today (LO is looking pretty big so we're just getting it all checked out) and my mom wants me to ask the doctor when she thinks Jack will be born. My mother is an intelligent person, she knows the doctor has no way of knowing, but she keeps asking anyway. *sigh*

    I could have written this word for word. I also get asked after every appt what my Dr. said. I don't think they realize he's not going to narrow it down to a day and time. I know everyone is excited by he'll be here when he wants to, not much I can do about it until then.

    I get this a lot. My mom's birthday is Feb. 1 and MIL's birthday is Feb. 10. So they are always saying how they hope he comes on those days. I don't want to tell them, but I don't really want him to come on their birthdays, I want him to have his own day and I don't want the day he's born to become about them.

    LMAO!!! This is my life. The other question is how are you feeling? Which I did get that question a lot my entire pregnancy but my mom still asks me everyday. And I have seen her everyday b/c our grandfather is in the hospital. We are due on the Feb 4th, so my dad has asked that we have him either before or after that weekend, because he wants to go to Colorado for a wedding, my Aunt and Uncle would prefer this week because weather might not be good next week (which is kind of cute). DH prays that it's not on Super Bowl Sunday, and thinks it sucks because if I don't have him by the 4th, then I will be induced on Mon 7th day after Super Bowl, and we have to check in the night before. I tried to get it scheduled for the 9th. And my Grandparents request that he be born on Jan 28th, it's their 56th wedding anniversary, and I will say out of all of my request, I do talk to Finn about the 28th a lot lately. :) My grandpa has been in the hospital for the last 2 weeks, and the only light we see in his eyes are when we talk about the great-grandkids. Side note I am not having any real contractions, so I am thinking induction date is the final day for me.

    Me too! I get these types of questions all the time. My mom just called and went over her schedule for the next two weeks with me. I guess this was so that I would know when I could have the baby. I didn't really say anything, but I was thinking- Seriously, you have had 3 kids you know I can plan when the baby will come!!

    I get these questions, but also get "How is baby Natalie doing"?.....we haven't even picked a name!  MIL just wants her to have a name so it seems more real.  Weird IMO

    You're not a jerk... your family are the jerks to keep asking you.

    I am getting really annoyed with mine, who won't drop the "countdown clock" - set for 12:00 noon two days before my due date.  As of yet, I do not have an induction or a C section scheduled, so they're all being idiots. He will be born when he is ready to be born, and if we do schedule an induction or C, we won't be telling you till after the fact.  Now leave me the fvck alone!

    Mom to a beautiful boy and girl!
