my mom is driving me crazy

ch3ls

Ok. So my mom started driving me nuts around this time before I got married. I took it as she was stressing out about loosing her daughter. Now she's at it again. This time, she's stressing out that our house won't be prepared by the time the baby gets here. You can see by my pregnancy tracker that I'm not that far along where worrying about the nursery would be the first thing on DH & my mind. For us, it's figuring out the money situation and doing the doctor visits, making sure me & the baby are healthy. I had to remind my mom that no pregnancy book will state that we'll be horrible parents if the nursery isn't done by the time the baby gets here. There's nothing wrong with the crib being in our bed room for the first month. Mom has now decided to come and visit me weekly and tell me what she did when she was pregnant and how they had my nursery done by now.

GRR sorry. Needed to vent.

She wouldn't be happy with us.  We have a dresser for the baby but that is just because we saw a good deal and couldn't pass it up.   We also have a few cloth diaper (but not enough to do even a day) again another good deal.

 

Most will get done from Aug on.

lol that is kinda funny. She probably did not have the nursery done by now and is either just saying that to light a fire under your a$$ or she really doesn't remember correctly. 17 weeks is pretty early. Next time she comes over and starts in on you, tell her that her constant worry is stressing you out (just say it even if it isn't true!) which is not good for the baby and if she doesn't stop then she may end up with a grandchild earlier than she expected so to let you be in peace! Good luck

HAHA... I will be moving to a different state at 35 weeks pregnant and my DH will be returning from basic training three weeks after that to our 1 bed apartment so imagine what our nursery will look like!

I feel your pain though. My mom thinks its stupid to start looking at baby things before 36 weeks pregnant and tells me so all the time. Along with what kind of place I need when I move, how big I'm getting and that I look 7 months pregnant already.... oh and snide remarks about me being far too emotional when I tell her I'm going to move into the kind of place that I choose. I mean I know our moms are excited about the baby but why is it that during this big stages (marriage, moving off to college) they feel the need to interfere with EVERYTHING!! GL with your mom!

thanks ladies, I don't feel like a crazy emotional pregnant woman anymore. The funny part is I'm a high risk pregnancy because of my high blood pressure, so you would think she would keep my stress to a minimum.

 

Ah well at least DH is keeping me calm.
