Appropriate FB update? Or just grumpy?

So tommorrow I'm officially due, but as I have told EVERYONE I'm not expecting to see baby arrive "on time" as my typical gestation period is 42 weeks. I am contently pregnant, it being my last one and I'm phyiscally well. I am fed up with mil people phoning to ask "if I'm OK?".(in that annoying "i'm phoning in sick so I'm putting on a sore throat" voice) so.....

I'm considering having the following as my FB status.

Ginger is not answering the phone or replying to texts/emails today. This does not mean I'm having the baby. It is more likely that I'm sitting in a cafe somewhere, enjoying some time to myself. When the baby arrives I will make sure I mention it.

Tooo cranky? Wink

Nope sounds decent enough :D I think mine will be a lot less polite :P

No, but I am a grumpy sod at times!

Doesn't sound cranky to me. Are you ok though? Wink

I'd go for something along the lines of "I have OF COURSE had the baby and failed to update you....NOT. Stop hassling a pregnant lady, you will know when I know. It is NOT something I will forget has happened. I am now unavaliable for comment....flounce"

It's good - post it

Bumpsadaisie · 16/11/2011 21:54

Just wondering if you'd had the baby yet?

I was hoping I'd IRONICALLY Confused have the baby in the early hours of morning but it hasn't happened.

I did ignore my phone last night cos I KNEW it would be MIL checking in!!

TBH I'm not going to post anything on FB til I have news. The only person I want off my back is MIL. She dosn't use FB so it's pointless!!

I am perfectly happy to be pg but I am not prefectly happy to be harassed about it. It's not as if I'm purposely not having the baby! Or that my labours are longer than "average" because I like labour so much!! Wink
