Default my new phone message

I changed my answering machine message to say:


"Hi, this is Ali. Thanks for calling! I haven’t had my baby yet, and I am not on the way to the hospital either, just taking a break from the phone. So, if you would like to discuss anything other than my pregnancy like religion, fashion, current events, pop culture, Or World History to name a few--please leave me a message and I will call you back as long as you promise not to bring up the fact that I am still pregnant."

*sigh* it has been a veeerrrrry long week.

OMG! That is too funny! Good for you! I'm getting so tired of dealing with those calls too. I don't know how many times I've told people, "We will call you when it happens" but it still doesn't click!

That's awesome! I Iove it! When you DO have the baby, you can change it to say what all the stats are, so you don't have to repeat them a thousand times.

That's too funny! Sorry you're getting so annoyed with all the people asking. Is the message working at all?

not really, my MIL left a message last night saying that she was glad I informed her of that, but she still wants to know what the progress is.

Um--the point is--THERE IS NO PROGRESS!!!!!!!! IF THERE WAS, I WOULD HAVE CALLED YOU JUST LIKE WE PROMISED LAST TIME YOU CALLED!!!!!!!!!

it's like everyone thinks we're going to have this baby and not tell them until his first birthday or something. Like we are just so sneaky and mean. Use your heads people!
