To want to strangle people that keep asking me "Is the baby here yet?!"

[ErikaMaye]

AHHHH

Its driving me absolutely bonkers. I know I should be greatful that people care etc, but UGH. One friend is texting me EVERY DAY to ask if I'm having contractions. Surely people realise that I will actually let them know when he arrives??

Admittedly I might just be very very hormonal right now, but am only 38+3, and all I keep thinking is that I could possibly have three weeks plus of this!!

[ErikaMaye]

Ha! I love you lot (see, must be hormonal!). Am hoping the fireworks might jump things into action. Still having the period like cramps from yesterday...

Just showed my mum how to use her new phone and people are even texting her to ask if he's here yet!!

I'm feeling your pain Erika. I'm finding the school runt he worst. Every day I'm greeted with exclamations of "you still here", "no baby yet", "we though you must be in labour when dh turned up uesterday" etc etc etc. The only saving grace is that there's one other lady in the playground who was due about 2 weeks ago, so she get's it even worse. I'm not due for another 6 days, and I've been deliberately vague with everyone ("next couple of weeks"), so goodness knows why they feel the need to hassle so much .

Colin is a delightful name btw .

[Grendle]

Forgive my typing . Tired and grumpy!

[ErikaMaye]

KIMI look what you've done now!! His name is not Colin, it is Bryn. BRYN. Are you listening Kimi?!

Right I reckon these pains are contractions. And Kimi I am blaming them on you due to stress

Sorry triple posting!

[Grendle]

I was joking Erika . Bryn is lovely too (no offence to any babies actually called Colin).

[2shoeshissbangwhoosh]

yabu
because I can't wait for my cuddle

[ErikaMaye]

Am rather grouchy today so you lot have made me giggle. I was up for hours with contractions and then they stopped. Kimi am blaming you

2shoes you know you'll be getting a cuddle - I'd never be forgiven otherwise

Toadstool yeah that must have been infuriating... Sympathy!!

[NestaFiesta]

YANBU. Its very frustrating and people seem to think that as soon as you hold and bond with your beautiful child for the first time, you will actually be keen to be texting everyone in your phone instead.

MY MIL and mother rang every day to ask if I'd had it yet and the temptation to be sarcastic was overwhelming- "yes, he's 2 weeks old, sorry, thought you knew".

Thankfully DH waded in when MIL rang and told me to "hurry up"!

[KimiTheThreadSlayer]

Is he here yet?

[ErikaMaye]

Kimi go play in the traffic... grumpy

Neasta I'll probably have to resist doing the same thing. Mine has booked the EDD and the day after off work - so she can come meet the baby She's lovely really, am actually very fond of her, but that is totally unrealistic!!!

[2shoes]

ErikaMaye I will have to give you my mobile number so you can text me lol

[ErikaMaye]

Don't worry, will totally be on facebook within ten minutes haha!!!

[KimiTheThreadSlayer]

Looks for Erika on facebook so I can stalk you be your friend

[MilkNoSugarPlease]

Ok i have seen this dotted around whenever erikamay is on a thread...what the hell is "Colin" about?

Clearly ive missed something here


A friend of mine is being bombarded with texts about wether her baby has come yet...shes due new years day

[KimiTheThreadSlayer]

Colin is what we are calling the baby....

[BalloonSlayer]

My MIL used to say - lightheartedly - when DS1 was overdue.

"Where's my Grandchild then?"

I never said "Where your son left it," but was often sorely tempted.

As I got more and more overdue DH made me ring him at work at intervals during the day just to tell him nothing was happening .

I felt like the fecking town crier. "Twelve o'clock and aaaaaalll's welllll!!!"

[MilkNoSugarPlease]

I like it...it's um...well its...classy?
