We don't have any family that lives close to us. It's a good thing in regards to my husbands family but I hate being so far from my fam... that being said, we started accepting the fact that we were going to be able to bond with our little one before family bombarded us with visits. I was so excited! Sure the help is always great but I got so happy thinking I'd get a couple weeks with my baby all to myself and thought it might make it easier when family decided to show up..... well... I'm 41+1 today(Tuesday), my mom comes into town on Friday and my husbands family will be in town for a long weekend starting Thursday. I still have no child to show off and I'm freaking out that I'm gonna go into labor when everyone is here. If that be the case I'll have no alone time with my baby until probably the second week of February because family will be filtering in and out. I'll also most likely be easing myself back to work at that point. I'm so disappointed about how all this is panning out. My moms visit was the only thing I had planned for because she's coming to help. But then my MIL planned this weekend gathering just assuming I wouldn't go over my due date and now I've gotta be around my in laws the first few days I'll have my child.( that is, if I even have a baby by then!)... there's so much pressure on me to have this baby when it's convenient for everyone else and i can't take it!
