I've not told family my exact due date as it drove me nuts last time, 6 days overdue. This time I've said it'll be here by the end of the month. Thought that would be a good thing, but instead, they still call me. I've told them all that I'm really uncomfortable and tetchy and don't bother popping in as I'm wearing pants and an old t-shirt and I am not putting clothes on to entertain them. I'll come and see them if I am in the mood for socialising. They are all local and don't think it's fair that I don't pop in weekly to have a coffee/chat, but there are lots of them, if I did that I'd be in and out of houses all week long, with no time for DD's activities. As it is, I try to see everyone once a month and those that aren't so pleasant, well I don't feel guilty if DD isn't in the mood for socialising either.
Typically sent a bulk text message to all family to say baby arrived and all was well, but most of them forgot to check for messages and were waiting for a phone call. Three days later, when I finally got home and had a chance to do some calls, they were most not impressed. Yet they can all use a mobile phone and answered it when I rang them.
Fell asleep on the sofa dreaming about stodgy puddings and now that's all I fancy. no milk or eggs for home made custard, and no instant packets to be found.
Going to head to bed now.
