Re: vent
I can totally relate. I just stop answering the phone when the person in question is bothering me. When I return the call I make it short because I just don't want to deal with it.
Everyone is excited, but no one seems to consider that WE are the ones going through this pregnancy ... and might not want to discuss every single detail five times a day.

Re: vent
Esp w/ the call starts w/ "How do you feel" or "No baby yet, huh" .........
Stop answering the phone - say you were out, in the shower, taking a nap - whatever.

Re: vent
lol you both totally understand how I feel, I think I will just take that advice and not answer the phone anymore
the best too are the texts... random friends "any contractions? Are you dialted?" I mean really people too invasive... ill let u know when im in labor

Re: vent
I don't answer the phone anymore. I get pretty sick of hearing, soooo any changes, any signs? Is the baby here yet?

Re: vent
With excessive calls and texts, this is where I would let my sarcasm take over and make wild stories about the baby being here and how I'm so sorry I forgot to tell you he was born... cause like you might forget to mention it!!
As for your Mom, I agree with the nap/shower/was in the other room thing. Sometimes the good intentions are just too much. Hang in there!!

Hahahaha! This is a great idea and something I can see myself definitely employing as I get a bit closer!
