I haven't posted on this thread yet but I have been following it. I'm so happy to hear some good news! Hopefully this will help your stress and you can have that baby! Good luck!
MIL is still here... Ugh. I was induced Friday night and gave birth (naturally!) to a healthy baby girl at 1:48am Saturday. Was discharged late afternoon and came home to MILs shit all over and nasty dog smell. She tried to pull some dominance shit on me by pointing out that she fed my son while i was in the hospital (DH had to leave while I was in labor for about an hour to see why our son was projectile vomiting... So she must have fed him well, huh?) She also had to mention that she fed my cat and swept my kitchen... I was exhausted when she was rambling on about how handy she was for my 36 hours in the hospital... I stopped her mid sentence by putting my hand in her face and walking directly to my room with both of my children and closing the door.
Then, this morning, with DH at work of course, she cried about how broke she is, how her apartment and whole life is in shambles, how she has no where to go... Blah blah blah... My response was simple (mind you, running on very few hours of sleep, like any mom with a new born and a jealous three year old) I said this, almost exactly, "You want to know something funny? I don't give a flying fuck what problems you have. They're YOUR problems, not mine, and I'm too tired and irritated by your shit and your fucking dog to be pleasant or patient with you anymore. Leave me the fuck alone, and get the FUCK out of my house." She was silent, then cried hystericallu for hours while my son and daughter and I hung out in my room, eating and sleeping all day.
DH came home, and she said, (SAID, not holding my breath) that she's leaving tomorrow. She didn't say anything about me kicking her out to DH, and she's acting like nothing happened. I win. I think...
DH needs to man up & do what's best for you. He needs to tell MIL that although her presence is greatly apreciated, it's not needed. Once the baby is born she can come & visit, but in your last month of pregnancy the mission is to stay STRESS FREE. I know she means well, but she should understand that. & If she doesn't, then that's just something she has to deal with.
Awesome job having the little babe AND telling MIL what for! More than you should have to deal with, but Lordy I hope she follows through and gets the f out!
She's gone! She left today. My DH had to pretty much bribe her out of our house, but she's gone, finally!
Baby and I are doing well. I'm exhausted from late night nursing, MIL drama and the fact that my DS has a tummy virus, but I'm just so happy things are falling into place... I'm so relieved, that just today, my breasts are crazy engorged and LO has more food right now than she could possibly ever eat... Ah, I feel great for someone running on just a few hours of sleep a day ^_^
