Following wakeupmaggie's direction, I went and downloaded a silent ringtone. Now all the "are you in labor yet" offenders are muted, but the real calls can still come through! lol
I would argue better than the bazillion calls and text I received this weekend was the crazy sales person at Lowe's who cornered me and asked when I was due. When I told her I am due on the 12th, she told me ALL about her SIL who was due on the 12th but her water broke on 12/13 and it was so great that she was able to get the tax write-off. AND she didn't feel the need to end the story there. Then, she wanted to tell me about giving birth to her triplets almost 20 years ago! I could have killed DH for abandoning me in that aisle.

i hate the calls/texts, but those i can ignore. it's the coworkers and in person comments that are pissing me off. here's what my current facebook status is, which is exactly what i said to the last person who asked me this question about 10 minutes ago
"oh, you didn't have that baby this weekend??"
actually, now that you ask - yes i did! once he decided to come out, we decided it was better to fake everyone out and not let them know he came. i had him last night, he's at home, alone while me and his daddy work. oh, and this gigantic belly i still have? yeah it's a fake prostetic pregnant belly - totally not real.
C'MON PEOPLE.

The call from my mom telling me my cousin's wife is in labor and that at least the full moon is working for someone... thanks Mom...
She probably meant well, but yeah. I'd be kinda peeved too. The only family member pregnant is a distant cousin of mine, and she's a couple weeks behind me. Luckily, even if she did go into labor, I probably wouldn't get a phone call about it. I'd find out on facebook.
I have to make sure to update my status at least once a day though or we get calls from DH's father and from my mother. They're still calling once a week to check up on us though. >.<;
How about all the emails?! Work and personal... driving me CRAZY! Then DH tells me how his coworkers are bummed no baby yet... yeah they aren't the only ones!
