AW my MIL

LOL.  I can't believe I even just typed that.

I love her and she's an amazing woman, but I've mentioned on here before that I feel like our relationship has been somewhat strained since DD was born.  

Well, her and FIL are the primary people we have lined up to take care of DD when I go to the hospital to have this baby.  Mostly because they babysit her the most, plus my family has a ridiculous amount of commitments the week she is due.  And my mom will want to be at the hospital with me, if possible. 

I've been really worried that she's going to be pushy about having DD at their place, instead of coming here, as she regularly mentions having her spend the night at their place "some day."  We have not yet left DD overnight there (or anywhere), and I don't want this to be the first time. I feel like it will be so much more stress on DH, DD and I, for a lot of reasons.

Anyway, we had a huge talk about contingency planning last night, and MIL was amazing.  She immediately (without my asking, before I really got a chance to say anything at all) let me know that she will have a bag all packed and ready to come stay at our place with DD, and she doesn't want me to have any worries.  She did say that while she'd love to have her at their place, she knows that I will be more comfortable with DD at home. 

I'm just so relieved.  I've been really, really upset about having to leave DD when it comes time.  I know it's silly, but I can't help myself.  Anyway, MIL has made me feel a million times more relaxed.  I'm so grateful!
