I didn't wanna hijack April's post, so I"m posting my own!!
I went "underground" as of last Sunday! I am getting tired of all the calls! I mean, I'm not even overdue! (But true, I WAS having PTL - even though now I have been off bedrest for over a week and NOTHING but before I was contracting just walking across the dang floor to pee! ) I realize that people are just concerned, but I just can't take the "How are you feeling?" Um, PREGNANT IN JULY IN ARIZONA! I"M DANG HOT AND UNCOMFY! I stopped answering my phone. I even told my mother (I waited to call her when I knew she was at church, evil, huh? LOL) that I wasn't answering my phone! She calls me AT LEAST eight times a day asking how I am! Last Sunday I was in teh shower and in that short time - MAYBE 15 minutes at the most - the woman called me THREE times!! So this is why I waited until she was at church to call her and tell her that I wasn't answering my phone. Then she called me 2 days later after me not taking calls and she got all upset with me! "I know you aren't answering because people keep calling you, but they may be "concerned", but I "WORRY". I am your MOTHER. You NEED to call me. Just you wait until Katelyn is old enough and is pregnant and see how much YOU worry about her!" Okay, fine! Worry! But there is nothing to worry about! What's to worry about?? I'm 36 weeks (well, I"m 37 now but 36 at the time she was bugging me abotu all this) and I had *just* had an u/s that confirmed that yhr baby's fluid levels are still okay! Then I made the mistake on Tuesday when I called her to tel her I wasn't feeling well. "Why? What's wrong?" Um, were you NOT there for my last two pregnancies? I have m/s the WHOLE dang time!!! (Some days worse than others...) (And did she have the SAME thing with all three of HER pregnancies??)
So then after I hang up with her, I end up getting a voice mail from her the next morning all freaking out! "I just talked to _______ " (A friend of hers) "and she has had a stomach virus that is going around! She has had stomach cramps and everything! I really hope tht isn't what you have!" Honestly! NO MOTHER! Again, I"M JUST PREGNANT! I am NAUSEOUS and occasionally puking NOT having stomach cramps! This is NOT a virus - unless you call pregnancy a 9 month virus! And then we went to lunch at the mall with my mom and step-dad today. We decided to walk around afterwards and I started feeling icky. I told DH that we needed to go and then I told them. Again, my mom, "Why aren't you feeling well?" Again I tell her, "Because I'm PREGNANT, mother!"
So, EVERYONE LEAVE ME ALONE! I'll call you when I HAVE the baby OR if I feel crappy and need to gripe!! *sigh*
Thanks fo letting me vent!

: Heaven FORBID that you have to deal with one little smidgen of "pain in the butt" with people asking you things whilst I sit here on and hear my phone ring a thousand times a day with people asking me the SAME THING and it's not like this prengnacy has been a breeze! I think you can answer a few dang questions at church while your wife tries not to PUKE 24/7, tries not to pee herself just trying to stand up, and can't bend over if she drops something because her belly gets in the way, etc! SO SORRY you are unconfortable for a couple of hours!
