Enough with the phone calls already!
It used to be funny & cute that I would get phone calls from family wondering what's going on. I get a call from my mother in law daily, sometimes twice a day. I even get calls from Bill durring the day wondering how everything is feeling. Now it's getting annoying. Especially because I say EVERY TIME, "Nothing. No contractions that I can time. No fluid leaks. He still is kicking. It's the same as yesterday, the day before that, last week & the week before that. I feel huge & very tired". Everyone is questioning me like we wouldn't call them if it was the real thing. I promise that everyone will know when we are on our way (or actually admitted in)!
I guess I'm just getting grumpy because everyone is so anxious for Logan to be born. If there's anyone who wants him to be born, it's me! I'm the one lugging this kid around all day. I'm the one getting my bladder squished to all eternity. I'm the one getting kicked all day & all night. I'm the one who's been sick for the last 9 months & living on freaking cancer medication & zantac. Wow, after reading that, I didn't realize how grumpy I was. It was good to vent though!
Our Roots
- Kristin
- Colorado
- I married my soul mate 10 years ago. We got married very young & we are very thankful that we did despite what other opinions may have been. It gave us a chance to grow up together & learn how to ride life's roller coaster ups & downs as a team. We had some good friends & adventures in Vegas when we started out. Then we hit a fork in the road & moved to Portland, OR so I could go to school & pursue a career in chiropractic. That's where we learned that sometimes life has plans for us other than our "perfectly mapped out" one. Bill got a promotion that moved us out to Colorado, somewhere he's always wanted to live, but a place where my thoughts of chiropractic school would die. Marriage is all about compromise, so we made the move to bigger & better things. As we continued to be successful at work, it felt like there was something missing. That's when I started to think about having a baby. As a stay at home mom to Logan, life was everything we wanted it to be. Then we were crazy enough to do it again & soon added Carter to the family. This is our adventure raising two boys in the Rocky Mountains.

I've also been getting the daily calls to check and see if we've made any more progress towards having the baby (or had the baby already). It's getting old.
It used to be that people would ask when the baby was due. Now, they make comments like, "Any day now, huh?". Yesterday I actually had a woman ask me if I knew I was expecting! She was joking, but I was not in the mood for it.
I'm just as grumpy as you. In fact, Hubby is even grumpy. We just want baby to be born so we can go out of limbo and continue life with our little precious.
haqhahahaha... I TOTALLY understand!!! My MIL calls me just as often, and the first words out of her mouth are, "How are you feeling?" except it's a really anxious question, like I'd be in a lot of pain and not call them. *sigh* You're not the only one grumpy :)
Yep, I feel like there is this tremendous pressure to have this baby when it is most convenient for other people. And now that I am in early labour which is taking a really long time to progress, I sort of feel guilty for people having to put their life on hold "just in case" baby comes out soon. I probably wouldn't feel so guilty if people would stop phoning us and asking the same bloody questions all the time. No it's not just you whose getting a bit grumpy...
