I texted this morning after your suggestions and she just responded that she has been at the hospital the last few days because her Grandma had a massive stroke. :-( I wish I checked on her earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-check-up-on-a-friendfamily-member-without-being-annoying#post-581905 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:45:20 +0000 MrsTiz 581905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go with "Hey girl, just wanted to see how you're feeling! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help" ? Or @MaisyMay: had a good idea with making a joke about hating getting those texts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-check-up-on-a-friendfamily-member-without-being-annoying#post-581890 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:40:09 +0000 MaisyMay 581890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a "I just wanted to tell you I love you/am wishing you good luck" sort of text (if you get along well)? Or make a joke out of it "I know I hated all of the "checking in" texts but wanted to make sure that all was okay for you." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-check-up-on-a-friendfamily-member-without-being-annoying#post-581874 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:33:54 +0000 autumnlove 581874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL is 39.5 weeks pregnant and I really haven't checked up on her because I don't want to be annoying...I remember being irritated by "is the baby here" yet text messages late in my pregnancy.</p> <p>How do you check up on close family and friends who are going to have a baby soon? </p>
