I guess the calls/texts are starting to roll in.

5 people have called/texted me today and it's not even 4:00 yet.
My mom called this morning (she rarely calls, since I see her like, once a week or every other week) and asked when my next appt was and basically beating around the bush hoping I'd tell her I was in labor or something.
My dad called shortly after and asked (like he does every week) when I was due again and if I had any "signs".
2 friends texted me asked me if my uterus was still occupied.
MIL called about half an hour ago and was like "SQUEEE! My grandbaby will be here in less than 2 weeks!" I said maybe. Although it could be 3, maybe even 4 weeks. She didnt like that response.

Re: I guess the calls/texts are starting to roll in.
You should do what I've been doing. Mass text in the morning to everyone who might bother you. Every morning I send a text 'still pregnant.' And if they call that is how I usually answer. Gets that out of the way.
I had to lock my facebook wall because people are posting 'encouraging' messages like 'Hang in there!' I'm not telling people that I'm on bed rest and I'm trying my HARDEST to keep her in there and I'm frustrated that I won't be going to 41 weeks like I had hoped. I plan on hiding the fact that she was born as long as I can too once she is born. I want privacy.
With my first pregnancy (went 40 weeks on the dot), I just stopped responding to people's questions, emails, calls, etc. I got SO annoyed/frustrated towards the end with all of the questions about my "progress". Kind of personal and I was already so anxious with it being my first...just turn the phone off! Hoping it won't be as bad this time, but we'll see...
Ive been tempted to not tell anybody when I actually do go into labor, because I know my and DH's phone would be blowing up with texts/phone calls!
Absolutely fair! Though I think you'll want to tell immediate family (grandparents) but its fine to ask them not to pass the news along to anyone else! My family knows I'll tell them but not to put anything on facebook at all. Also if you have a facebook you may want to look into locking the wall now so people can't 'accidentally' write something that will tip the universe off.
Feel free to silent your phone too, or turn it off... though keep in mind turning it off could cause widespread panic. I know people in my family who would start blowing up the hospitals phone because they were worried... I wouldn't want to piss off the nurses like that.

I am starting to get this now too! The strangest one is my best friends sister, who I never really talk to or hang out with keeps texting me asking how things are going.... Just odd.
