M facebook status update is not directed at any of you!!LOL
OMG the amount of ppl keep asking if I have had the baby. Umm no I will let you know like I said I would!!
For those that havent seen it...
''Thanks for all your thoughts everyone but please stop asking if/when i will have the baby. I will update when i do, getting asked the same thing 20 times a day is getting very annoying now! Thanks''
I hope that doesnt sound too horrible. I debated for ages on how/what to write. Ive said I will let everyone know, put it on facebook etc. When I go on chat people will say 'anything yet?' Uh yeah like I would sitting on facebook chat if I was in labour or had just given birth since I spoke to you last.
anyway thats my ramble for the day.

I know exactly how you feel. I am so sick of that question. I am also sick of people saying "maybe there's a third one in there"  I snapped at my mom the other day for being the fourth person that day to say that to me.

Good for you for putting that! I don't get while people always ask that. Are you going to have the baby, take her home and hide her or something?

I saw that and laughed! I am so sorry people keep doing that! I was so glad that yesterday was my last day of work because now I don't have to deal with all the questions from strangers. ((HUGS)) and hang in there...it can't be much longer now. Don't you have an appt tomorrow?

LOL I laughed at it too. And I totally bet I've said that to some friends of mine "nothing yet huh?" It's like people now asking me how I'm feeling. I must get it 5x a day! Thankfully I feel great, so I just say that....but if I felt horrible, I'm sure I wouldn't want to talk about it!

I had to laugh too. I got so sick of being asked the same questions at the end. Especially, "when are you going to pop that kid out?" Seriously?!? I never knew how annoying it was until it happened to me. I will no longer ask pg women stupid questions like that anymore!

My favorite was, "are you getting excited?" Seriously? Am I going to answer, "no, not all that excited?"

yah you def dont realise until your in the situation, i know people are just excited for me and concerned but theyd only realise that ive actually been asked already, by lots of other people. I have said I will let people know when she is here.Its nice to know somany people care but theres been a few that havent asked that Ive noticed, the ones that have fairly recently had kids too (not JM people) so they obviously remember what its like.lol
thanks for the support girls.
