My friends got that fed up with people ringing to ask have you had it yet (why

do people do that I mean you ring close friends and your parents??) that they

put a message on the answer phone saying NO we have NOT had the baby yet if you

are ringing for anything baby related then please hang up now if you are ringing

for other reasons please leave a message. they then screened every single call.

When she did go into labour (12 days overdue) they had a different message it

was the music Hallelujah and over it the dh was saying X went into labour at 3

am this morning waters broke at 5 am and we set of to the hospital will let you

know once baby has arrived ;o).. (I actually heard this message as I rang them

on a different matter but it was such fun ;o) ) After baby had arrived they put

a new message on saying baby Y arrived and weighed ;o) saved them a lot of

trouble I think...

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

Probably! My MIL was so desperate to know, that DH phoned her at

12.15am to let her know that she had *just* had a new grandson. By

7.30am when he started phoning his siblings at what he thought was

the earliest decent hour so as not to disturb everyone, she had

beaten him to it and had told absolutely everyone for him - he was

livid - it was HIS news to tell, our first child, (her 6th

grandchild) and she totally stole his thunder. Next time (if there

ever is one) she'll be last on the list, and it's her own selfish

fault.

Mysister did something similar when Eloisa was born. I had not been able to get

through to my mother as shehad left for work but my sister arrived home earlier

and saw I had tried calling so obviously she rang me and I told her everything.

My mother came home and saw that I had rung but for some unknown reason (to me

anyway) decided to ring my sister who told her EVERYTHING.. I felt completely

deflated when my mother rang and said congratulations on the girl I knew it

would be another girl.. that was MY NEWS NOT my sisters and next time she will

be told to keep her mouth shut until I have told everyone.

really did bug me (but then again so did the fact that my mother let her tell

her)

My MIL said she was going to bed even though the birth of DS1 was going to be

in the next couple of hours so she said not to bother ringing.

We never did until the next morning, and I took great delight in hearing that

she could not sleep as she was wondering if we had had him or not.

With Susy (DD2) Tim rang his mother as we arrived at the hospital just

after 8pm. ( My mother was looking after DD1 at home. ) She said not

to ring her till the morning as she didn't want to be woken in the

night, fair enough but in the event she got a call around 9:30 that

evening (she though he was calling to say something had gone

wrong!!!!!) as Dh didn't feel it was fair to wait till 8 the next

morning, by which time her new GD would have been nearly 12 hours old!

When I went into labour with DS2 my Mum set off from Somerset to come up to

Northumberland to help out for the first week. DS2 was born while she was

still on the train so, knowing what a worrier she is, my Dad got the station

announcers to announce the birth while her train was stopped in every station

from Birmingham northwards. She never heard it though, and was practically

having kittens of her own when DH picked her up from Morpeth station.
