So, both her and my MIL called on Sunday to see how I was doing. What they actually wanted to know is was I in labor? I've told them I will call when the time comes. So, yesterday, my MIL calls during the day to ask me how I'm doing, AGAIN! I dealt okay with that, since she's not much of a chatter and only kept me on the phone for a few minutes. But, today is my school day and I had lots of homework to finish up last night. I was tired. DD woke up after being down for only 30-40 minutes and I had to lay with her for 25 minutes to get her back to sleep. As soon as I got out of her room and tried to get back to my work, my mom called. It ended up being a disaster!
So, she asks me how I'm doing, any contractions? What am I suppose to say? Yes, I'm having contractions, but not baby-producing contractions. She knows I've been having those for over a week, so why the heck is she calling! So, I proceeded to tell her that I will call when I'm in labor. She says she just wanted to make sure I was okay. Then, I stupidly asked if she was going to call me everyday. She said she was thinking about it. I told her she better not and that I would be sure to keep her updated on my progress. Then she starts in with, "I don't want Nathan (my dh) calling me 2 minutes before your delivering, b/c he won't be able to remember what to tell me and I won't know what's going on." Can I tell you all how mad this made me!!! So I asked her if she didn't trust me to call her earlier than that (providing labor doesn't hit me suddenly and we don't have time to call anyone.) Which of course offended her, since that's not what she meant. At that point she told me what an awful day she had had and something about me being ungrateful/uncaring...blah, blah, blah...and then she hung up on me! THE NERVE, hanging up on your very pregnant daughter.
Well, I stupidly called her back 10 minutes later or so, to try and patch things over and it really just got worse and I ended up losing my cool and raising my voice a bit with her. DH was trying to sleep, but was having trouble so he came out to comfort me when I got off the phone. He was ready to call her up and chew her out for upsetting me so much.
I'm not really sure what to do now. My mom has a history of being a *itch, but I normally blow it off and don't respond to much. The only other time she was this mad at me was a couple months before dh and I got married. She didn't believe we were right for each other. We got into a pretty big fight and then she didn't talk to me for several weeks and just sent me long letters explaining why she was right and I was wrong. I don't think this baby is going to be in me for a few more weeks, so I have to patch things over before the baby comes. AHHHH!!!!
Thanks for listening to me rant. I really just needed to blow off some steam and I knew you all would understand. I'm so anxious to have this baby yet trying not to get my hopes up too much for an early delivery and this kind of thing doesn't help at all.

Believe me if you heard anything about my mom you would feel instantly better! lol
: What do they think she is, a voodoo Dr.? No, she won't have an estimate for them 
I am not even due until the 17th and they are already doing this to me! I feel your pain!
I really appreciate it. I knew you all would understand better than anyone. It's just so darn annoying to have ppl calling every day. Anyway, I'm sure my mom and I will get through this, if not sooner, once the baby is here. Who can stay mad when there is a new life to admire?
