"You can't have the baby on day ..." - Page 2

[GiGiQ]

I sympathize. I'm so sick of everyone's questions and opinions and what they must think are amusing quips. I snapped at a stranger today who asked when the baby is due. "Soon enough that I'm tired of that question!"

At least as of next week no one will be making comments about having her on Mother's Day anymore.

I'm almost half enjoying the entirely shocked looks I get when random people ask me, "when are you due" - oh last week I've considered saying, "back in January" just to see what happens

dp wants this one to come tomorrow. it's his dad's birthday (Who passed away when he was 8) and my kids are all excited about mother's day.

I just roll my eyes and tell them that I still have time before I even hit 40 weeks (the 18th). My uncle felt my tight belly the other night and swore I'd go into labor Sunday night.....everyone seems to have their guesses. The only person NOT making me nuts is my mother....she's been awfully quiet about her opinions this time around.

I should have started a betting pool.

I hear ya on being burnt on people asking. while taking a peaceful walk around our enormous block last night with my oldest son, a neighbor actually came OUT of her house to say "you still haven't had that baby yet?!"

I just smiled and said "we still have a couple weeks".

......makes you wish you told people they were due in June so they'd all back off, doesn't it?

I did do that! Told the whole family "early June, possibly very late May." Didn't do any good. They started a birthing pool, and about half of them guessed I'd go in April. April? : I got so mad. Why would they wish NICU on us?

I have stopped answering phone calls with the "No baby yet?" topic...noone has anything else to talk about. My boyfriend now calls daily and multiple times a day saying "What's going on?" Uhhh...same thing that was going on last time you called...lots of contractions and no baby...same thing that has been going on for weeks. So he calls me this morning and say "It's like that boy don't want to come out. I was hoping he would come before Mother's Day weekend because the flights are gonna be horrible" (he'll be flying stand by). I nicely said yeah let me call you back (which of course I haven't done). I have had enough damn it. We were just petrified he was breech and would have to come Csec...well...I was petrified...he said just get the csec and I will know a date and can just fly down. Then I had the back up dr for my midwife on Monday trying to talk me into getting a csection even though my son turned back over because he is just to big for me to birth...arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

When is the flight to that island? I think it may be time for me to go...

Oh my, family is too too much sometimes. It was pouring here yesterday so I took dd to one of those indoor playspaces at the mall and this man came up to me and said "Can I ask you when you're due? You look about the same size as my daughter." I was in a good mood, so I just cheerfully said "Tuesday," which is true and he went on and on about how his daughter says she's due in August, but he really thinks she's due in May because she's the same size as me, but she's in Denver, so it's hard to tell from pics on the computer. I was thinking... "man if you're this goofy with random pregnant strangers I'd be telling you I was due in August too."
