If the last month of anticipation & the body changes aren't enough, having people asking you if you've had the baby the entire month will do you in. Seriously.
If you are anything like me, you're patience are pretty much toasted because you are uncomfortable, tired & full of asking yourself when you think the baby is coming. Not to mention, you may be dealing with a toddler (or other kids) running around your house demanding your attention.
I know for me, it was definitely easier waiting on the 1st one, I'm not sure why, but probably cause it was more unknown. This time around I remember bits & pieces of how I felt and then I think I am getting close and another week passes & here I am. But I have to remind myself, little man only came 2 days early, so we are just hitting that. Evidently, I need to remind others of that too.
I understand people get excited, as do I. But I don't recall myself texting my cousins or others asking if the baby has come yet. I think to myself 'hmmm, they must be getting close' or 'oh they never opened my snap...I wonder...", but I will in no way ask the mom-to-be if they baby is there. She is uncomfortable, exhausted & full of her own concerns & anticipation, she doesn't need me harassing her too!
So yes, I'm still prego. If you are on the short list for the announcement, please respect the mom-to-be and don't ask on repeat. She or dad will let you know when the day comes, let them enjoy or relax on their final days before it the new addition comes.
