Due date is now one day away. I am anxiously awaiting baby – long side just about everyone else I know. Thanks for the calls. Yes, I know you’re just checking up. Yes, I know you can’t wait to meet the baby. Oh, and of course, you’ll be the first to know.
Now get the fuck off my back you bunch of monkeys.
*ahem*
I feel better getting that out. No, no, it wasn’t directed at YOU. Your calls don’t bother me. I love to hear from you too.
Aside from squeezing a watermelon out a hole the size of a lemon (and the recuperating) , the worst part about having a baby is the daily phone calls:
Where is baby?
Have that baby yet?
Thought this was the weekend?
Still pregnant huh?
Yes, yes, yes! There is STILL a baby in there and YES I thought this was the weekend too. And OH MY GOD, Captain Obvious, THERE IS STILL A BABY IN THERE!
Yet, I remain cordial and polite while in my mind I think of terrible and harmful things I could do to the questioning loved ones.
A hint: A 10 MONTH PREGNANT LADY DOES NOT WANT TO BE CALLED TO SEE IF THERE IS A BABY YET. SHE WILL CALL YOU. YOU WILL FIND OUT. EVENTUALLY YOU WILL FIND OUT!
Now that I’ve frightened off just about everyone I know and who would ask how I’m doing, I’ll tell you.
I’ve had mild contractions on and off all weekend accompanied by nausea and some vomiting. I’ve had headaches, backaches and pain ol’ moodiness. I’ve napped a lot too. I’ve even cried a little.
Carter was right on time. I didn’t really expect anything different this time around, though a girl can’t help but hope that it would be sooner then later. When tomorrow passes and there is no baby yet, I suspect that I will be more miserable/cranky/pouty then I am right now.
Oh, and yes. I also know that it can’t stay in there forever. I tell myself that every. damn. day.
I can’t tell you how jealous I am that these ladies have popped out their bundles already!
♥ I’m really not that angry as I may sound. Just aggravated and so ready to meet this baby! ♥

I am so fighting the urge to say, “I would have thought you would have evicted that kid by now.” hehe!! Oops, guess I didn’t fight hard enough. heh!
He/she will get here soon I am sure. Babies don’t just start driving us crazy after they are born, you know.
Thanks for keeping us updated, you will be tweeting your labor and delivery right? No? Oh, well, get the word to us somehow and ASAP, hear that little one?

Hang in there. This baby will come. Promise. Today would be a good day since it’s my birthday
I hear you on the phone calls. I got them constantly and I had a planned c-section. It was very bizarre.

I’m sorry you’re still pregnant. I have my fingers crossed that it isn’t for much longer and you meet your new little muffin very, very soon!

You know it can’t stay in there forever, right? It’ll come soon. I do know how aggravating those phone calls are – I would have freakin’ called people once the baby was out. Sheesh. Although, I will admit to jokingly calling Mrs. Mustard and asking her if she had the baby yet. I’m a jerk like that.
Fingers crossed that the baby will be here soon.

LOL….I’m sorry; I promise I’m laughing with you….I just can’t help it bc I remember going through the SAME THING….out-of-state relatives calling…even my own (local) mother calling: “So still no baby, huh?”
I wanted to say, actually, mom, I had him 3 days ago…didn’t we call you? DOH!

I’m sorry, and I feel your pain. My second baby was a week late.
Hey you, baby, come on out. We promise there’s fun stuff out here! Did that work? No? OK, go walk a couple of miles – that’ll force the kid out.
Hope you’re free of pregnancy soon.
