Sometimes no news is just no news
Aug. 12th, 2009 07:55 amThe e-mails and facebook postings and other communications have started arriving. I'm still over a week from my due date and all these well-meaning people are pressing me "is there a baby yet?". No, there is no fucking news. I'm still a jobless wonder, I still live in Texas, I still haven't won any lottery, it's still hot, it still hasn't rained, and I'm still pregnant. Nothing fucking happening. Every day is exactly the same.
What is with people? If there was news, I would let people know. I'm not announcing it to everyone BUT you. It's not some secret campaign to keep you in the dark. Your asking won't ensure that you're the first to know. Sometimes no news is just that, no fucking news.
Why yes, being pregnant and unable to sleep makes me irritable. Is that news?
Edit
P.S. To anyone who has just written to ask "how ya holding up?" or anything that isn't specifically "do you have a baby yet", this isn't directed at you. I appreciate the concern and the connection that the "how are you?" messages represent. It's just the ones that specifically ask what I think is a dumb question that are annoying me.
