It's begun
the phone calls.
The endless ringing of the phone with someone on the other end who says something like "Well, you haven't called me in a few days, so I thought maybe you'd had the baby." This coming from people who I would OBVIOUSLY contact to let them know I'd had the baby.
C'mon people, give me a little credit.
I don't call anyone. I am not a phone talker. I never have been. So when you say you haven't heard from me in a while, you're lying. It's been even longer. I call you when I have a specific reason, for the most part.
The most annoying part is that, even though my doctor made me feel like I'd have already had the baby by now with his report about how close to labor I am, I still have one more week to go, unless I go overdue again, which is possible.
So, here's my PSA for the day. If you have a friend who is close to the end of her pregnancy, please, please, don't call her too many times because, chances are, everyone else is doing the same.
Also, if she calls you, don't answer the phone with "Are you in labor?" I can't tell you how many times my mom and my husband did that to me last week.
This all makes me want to run away screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Aha! Maybe that is why Avery keeps asking what time it is!!!! She can sense it too. Your husband and Mom want to know if you are in labor...Avery wants to know if its babytime!

Oh yes, I remmeber these times.
My MIL used to ask all the times when she SAW me: did you have the baby yet? And I'd be like... umm, can you tell? And when I'd call huby at work, all his co-workers used to ask me the same questiong, are you in labour yet, and by the time I'd get through to him, I was pissed off like crazy.
I do check your page like 20 times, but I wouldnt ask you if you had it yet or not:)
I hope you dont go overdue, I know it sucks, I went 9 days overdue with my first one, and it sucked.

My other favorites were when people would see me at work "What are YOU doing here?" "I thought you'd be gone by now." I'd be "Thanks, nice to see you too."
Asshats.
Oh, and I was 10 days late the first time, so I got to hear a LOT of asinine comments.
