She will get here when she gets here

Asking me what my due date is is fine, but just stop there. You don't need to tell me the baby is going to be late because I'm a FTM, or it's going to early because I'm a FTM, or it's going to be on time because I'm a FTM. Yes, I understand, your daughter was 3wks late, oh and what, your niece was breach, guess what, we aren't related and I didn't ask.
OK rant done.

How are you feeling? (x about 10 times a day)
Aren't you ready to be done?
Are you nervous?
Gah!

I've been getting the "you're going to be late and have a long labor" comments a lot lately since I'm a FTM. Really, why do people feel like it's necessary to say things like that?
PS. On the upside, I've had two different people today tell me that I look awesome. More comments like that are always welcomed.
I think the other one that drives me nuts is, "Are you excited?" I've been so tempted to lie and say "No not really, we found it's a girl. So we're going to sell her on Ebay after she's born."
I am so tired of being asked if I'm excited or nervous. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I hate going to the grocery store for this very reason!
Today some older woman, looked me up and down, and then asked, "Oh, your due date must have been last week huh?" and then giggled. I wanted to respond, "Death must be at your door, haha, you know since you're old?" But instead I laughed it off and said, "Oh no later than next Wednesday actually." Smiled the most fake smile I could and pushed off.
I did have a rather comical experience though. A mom was shopping w/her 3 kids- the oldest looked about 5/6 and was a boy. They walked past me, and I turned the aisle. That's when I heard him loudly say, "Mom, Did you see that lady's belly? It's SO BIG!" I then heard her hushing him.
It made me laugh!
I hate the "how are you feeling" question. It's like "how are you" when walking past each other in the hall-- no one really wants to hear the answer, it's just a pleasantry. One I'd rather avoid...
Yes, people are annoying. This will be a great reminder for when I have friends who are pregnant. I will NOT be this person.
Lol I never know what to say to this one. Everyone I know asks me how is the baby, it gets very old.
My son came one day late last time (and really, I went into labor like 30 mins after his EDD passed), so I didn't get too much of that. Already?...holy moly, it's constant.
I have one friend who (with love and appreciation I say this) is driving me nuts. "Anything now?" ... "How about now?" ... "Anything change?" ... "Now?" I'm not kidding...like 2-3 texts per day for a couple weeks!
It makes me laugh though. It is what it is. I'm not annoyed...maybe b/c I'm not in a hurry or feeling super anxious or terribly uncomfortable...
A couple weeks ago, my doctor told me she didn't think I'd make it to Christmas. (I'm due Christmas Eve.) My son was 10 days early and this baby appears to be following the same patterns, albeit a little faster progression. I made the mistake of telling my family this information, and now everyone keeps telling me, "any day now," and "I thought you said the baby would be here by now." My doctor happens to be uncannily accurate about guessing actual birthdates, but it is still a guess and my family seems to have forgotten my actual due date (even though Christmas plans for each side hinder on the arrival of this baby - both sets of parents will bring dinner to us if we have the baby on her due date or just before or after). Gah, it is driving me nuts. Also all of my coworkers act shocked when they see me in the morning exclaiming, "You're still here? I thought you'd have that baby by now." Thanks, but I'm not actually due for another 2 weeks...
When is your last day?
Is slightly annoying. I'm working until I give birth so I can take more time off after the baby. The girl who is temping for me I swear has asked me this like 6 times the past two weeks.
So annoying.
I honestly think most people just make comments to hear themselves speak. Everyday I get a "oh he will be here soon, you've dropped" followed by someone else commenting about how he hasn't dropped yet.
Friday was my last shift before I started mat leave and this one woman I worked with would almost daily for over a month tell me how I wasn't going to make it and I should go off early. Like, really lady? Thanks for the encouragement.
And just because your first baby was early/late does not mean mine will be. He will come when he's ready, end of story.
I've gotten this a lot, like they don't believe me. Trust me, if I had a choice, I would NOT be due Christmas.
