Any changes?!”</p> <p>I told my mom *I* wish I knew when I’d go into labor too, as it would sure be nice to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-164227 Mon, 21 May 2012 09:58:41 +0000 autumnlove 164227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my parents were so excited!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-164223 Mon, 21 May 2012 09:52:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 164223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They still have 20 weeks, but both mom's have been dropping off "a little something" about once a week for the baby! Now that htey know it's a girl, there is usually an outfit they just can't pass up or a blanket, ect. that screams "me" haha. I love it, they are so excited to have another girl to spoil! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-164085 Sun, 20 May 2012 20:36:22 +0000 mediagirl 164085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Haha. My mom freaks out every time I call her now. I told her we would call from Hops' cell phone when I'm in labor, so she knows this is it. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-164031 Sun, 20 May 2012 18:13:18 +0000 yoursilverlining 164031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is the first grandchild on both sides...I don't think "excited" is a strong enough word!!</p> <p>Today my mom called and said she wishes she knew when I'd go into labor because she is getting very, very anxious! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-164024 Sun, 20 May 2012 17:45:17 +0000 petuniasandpearls 164024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are divorced, and both sets text me every Monday to inform me that our baby is now a week older and they give me a countdown to 40 weeks (though my mom thinks I'm going to go early). I'd say they are pretty excited... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-164006 Sun, 20 May 2012 16:34:40 +0000 cyneswith 164006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL (who lives on the opposite coast) talks about our baby in her sleep. I'm only 12 weeks pregnant. I think she's a little more than excited. :)</p> <p>My parents are excited, but this'll be grandbaby 2, and my nephew lives in their town. Still, they'll be here in a few hours to help us move into a place where we can actually have a nursery. And I'm seeing them in July. And my mom (if not both parents) plan on coming for the birth (mom is allowed in the room, and it'd be the first birth she'd ever witness - my brother and I were c-sections.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-163987 Sun, 20 May 2012 15:41:37 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 163987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents and MIL are thrilled. It is the first grandbaby for all of them. They are all being overly generous with their wallets (they need to slow it down) and in attention (which is fine)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-163955 Sun, 20 May 2012 14:47:03 +0000 heffalump 163955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time we called my mom or MIL they'd answer the phone with, "is it time? Should we go to the hospital?"</p> <p>My mom insisted that Chinese would induce labor because it worked for her 3 kids and literally every Jewish woman we know. So she took me for Chinese.... and then slept in her clothes that night. Well, laid in bed in her clothes, she couldn't sleep because she was so excited and waiting for that phone call.... which never came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-162181 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:46:34 +0000 mediagirl 162181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: 18 grandkids! Oh my goodness!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-162163 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:37:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 162163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My folks are really excited. The baby will be their first grandchild so they are over the moon.</p> <p>FIL already has 18 grandkids so he's happy but not overly excited.</p> <p>This will be MIL's first and she has expressed absolutely nothing about it. Hasn't even acknowledged my pregnancy. I can only imagine how horrible she'll be when the baby gets here. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-162048 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:02:11 +0000 chopsuey 162048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom called today and asked me to take a video of LO eating dinner so she could watch her eat..<br /> So I took a 5 minute video and posted it up for her. HAHA. There's a reason I have almost 800 videos of my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-162045 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:01:01 +0000 chopsuey 162045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAAH your mom's so cute.<br /> My parents were super excited because LO is their first grandchild! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-162044 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:00:50 +0000 Rubies 162044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and MIL were soooooo excited. The baby was all they could talk about from the second we announced our pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/arewere-your-parents-excited-about-the-arrival-of-your-lo#post-162041 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:59:40 +0000 mediagirl 162041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I emailed my Mom today and told her what the midwife said. I told her not to pack her bag yet. She said, "My bag has been packed for a week!!" Ha ha ha. I love that woman. She is so excited.</p> <p>When you were waiting for the arrival of your lo, were your parents / in laws super excited, as well? How could you tell? </p>
