I'm 29 weeks pregnant and the entire time my mom has been very vocal about her feelings towards my 3rd baby. When I told her on Mother's Day I was pregnant she said "my condolences". When I told her it was a boy she was upset that all the dresses she bought for my daughter won't be used again. I am naming him after her grandmother but she isn't the least bit honored because we didn't choose the family name SHE wanted. She even told one of my friends that I need to get my tubes tied after this one is born. I really don't get it considering how excited she was with the first 2 and she loves them and is great with them. She was in town to help with the first 2 after birth and just assumed that she will be here for this one. But I just don't want her negativity around me the first days after her I give birth. I am just worried about the added stress of caring for 2 kids with no one here to help but also really don't want her drama. Any one out there survive the first few days with baby number 3, caring for the other 2 kids with no family members around? My husband will be taking a week off so part of me is like I got this!!

Not to mention I am due just before Christmas and she is already planning for us to do our celebration with my sister on Dec 30th, which would be a 2nd trip!
