annoyed at my IL's - totally unjustified

i know i'm being a b!tch. BIL and SIL want to come over to play in the snow with DD. It's her first real snow that there is actually enough to play in. well i'm just about 34 weeks and SUPER uncomfortable. this has been a very hard pregnancy. i'm basically in pain all the time with SPD and back pain and I have trouble walking/standing for more than a few minutes. the baby is large and i have excess fluid which makes it so heavy. i just got diagnosed with GD and already have high BP. I'm not feeling great. I dont sleep. i'm just really not in the mood to entertain. also my house isn't clean so now i have to spot clean instead of relaxing like i wanted to because we have a birthday party this afternoon. DH is at work. i couldnt say no because i wouldve taken her out anyway because i'm not going to have her miss out on her first snow (of course i'd probably just sit there and let her check it out for like 30 minutes and then come in). i don;t want to interfere with her nap because of the birthday party. so they are coming in an hour and half and i have to clean up and shower. all i want to do is sit here. 

i know that i am being irrational and b!tchy. i know they love her and want to spend time with her. i know they (most likely) wont be needy while their here. i just really was looking forward to sitting on my a$$ until the party.

Don't clean. They should understand any mess. Shower, have them take her out, sit yourself down in a comfy chair, and watch out the window while they play.

Yeah, I totally agree. Let this be an "In laws help you out by entertaining DD so you can relax" moment, not the other way around.

This!!

I'd let then come overt with the caveat that I'm miserably pregnant. I would then hope they would bring lunch, not mind the mess, and maybe even help out a bit.

I agree with this.

sorry for the post and run - i cleaned up as best i could. i'm gonna go out but i'm certainly not getting down and dirty to play. hopefully they don't overstay their welcome. i'm exhausted now. lol

Why did you clean?  It is just your family and everybody will track in snow anyway.  I hope you feel better.  I had SPD.  It sucks.
