I'll tell you where my dang baby is!
I'm not hiding him, he just hasn't been born yet. I know my mom is excited for her first grandchild, but I need everyone to back off. Every text I get is "any sign of baby?" Like, do people really think I'm not going to tell them? That I'll just have a son in 1st grade one day and be like, "Oh, this ol' thing? I've had him for years!" I'm not even 10 days overdue yet.
I do appreciate their concern. That's why I'm snarking about it on here not to the people that love me. It's sweet but I just kind of want to be in my own head while I wait and freak out about being a parent for the first time.
But maybe they'll get to meet the little gaffer soon since I'm rocking some cervidil and might have post term hypertension. Wahoo!
My mom was the same way. I just tried to remind her she'd be the first person I call with any new developments. I was 12 days over with my second and then we knew exactly when he was coming when we had to change to a csection at the end(no induction after emergency cs with my first). She bugged me less after that, lol.
I lost my mom last Christmas and we absolutely did not plan on having another child. This time I have no one checking up on me. Definitely miss it...as annoying as it was at times :)
Lol. Their enthusiasm and impatience is understandable, but for the love of all that is holy. Do they not realize mom must be twice as bad and irritated and uncomfortable to boot? I was late with both mine and I feel you. If I got one more text of "anything yet" I was going to go postal on everyone lol.
Sorry OP! This made me laugh though ?
My mom will always call me during the day and be like, "where's the baby?" I'll respond with, "Sold him!"
