This is PERFECT for today! Today has been the day of "How are you?", "Are you feeling ok?", "Any news?", "DO WE HAVE A BABY YET?!!?" text messages and phone calls.
I made a tragic mistake yesterday when I accidentally mentioned a *possible* early labor symptom to my mom on the phone (it'd be TMI here to say how it went down but it was totally unintended and I regretted it immediately). Then I started having some MILD and short contractions and it was OVER. The whole fam, both sides, totally flipped out, started looking to book hotel rooms (in San Francisco, on Labor Day weekend... RIGHT), called every half hour to see how I was "progressing", telling me to "go for a nice, slow, long walk"..... agh. Of course it was nothing, just like I told everyone. I haven't had any contractions today but I have been plagued with check ins and speculation.... sigh. This is my nightmare.
Because this is the first grandchild, DH parents are just too excited and call me at least once a week (each one calls separately), and say "just calling to see how you and baby are doing..." I know they mean well, and he could really come any day now, but my reply is always, "he's still in there."
ha! I get daily calls from my stepdad and they go as such:
Him: Hey whats up? Me: Oh not much just *fill in with whatever I'm doing at the moment* Him: How are you feeling? Me: Meh, hanging in there.. I'm fine. Him: Well do you feel anything, like is it time? Do you need us to drive up? Are you feeling like it's close? What do we need to do?
Seriously?! I think he's worse than any of the woman in my life. lol
I swear, I'm going to email that link to my MIL if she asks me if the baby has come yet. If she keeps asking me while she's gone, I will tell to keep referring to the link that I sent her. She deserves a little snark after what she did.
