Yes I am still pregnant. No I have not had the baby yet.
Yes I know your call went unanswered. No we are not at the hospital.
Yes we were not at home when you called. We were out doing the things we normally do on weekends - grocery shopping, playing, errands, etc.
Yes we ignored the cell phone, and the text message. No we were not on IM or "instantly" available on email. No we didn't rush to return messages when we got home.
Yes we DARED :eyebrow: to turn off all ringers so we could get a NAP - you know that thing you keep telling us to take advantage of while we still can.
And it is completely outrageous to call every Tom, Dick and Harry that knows us to see why we are not answering the phone. We went 11 days late with DD and likely will go late with this one. We promised we'd update when something happened and we will. And MOM, what on earth does it matter if I'm in labor anyway, as long as you get a call when the baby is here - it's not like you can do anything (or would) while I was in labor anyway.
And NO I am not "picking" a day to have this baby. IF I'm still pregnant next Friday, the midwives and I (and Husband, although he only gets 1/2 a vote
) will make a decision as to what is medically best. I am not picking Tuesday just because it's convenient for you, or because so and so's birthday is that day, or because you want an odd numbered birthday. This is NOT about you.
Whew - vent over - I'm off to take a nap. With the ringer OFF. If you see an Amber Alert with my name on it tell them to go AWAY.
