I had to tell my mother in law off yesterday. :-/ Slightly embarrassing, but gladly she took it well and understood. :-)
I think she had had one of those days were she was worried if she'll be a good grandma (I am convinced she will be). Nerd Jr will be her one and only grandkid. And then she was worried about
peting73 to how he would deal with the delivery (he feels a bit wozzy when seeing blood and might faint...). And then she was worried about me, and the delivery and how I'd do with the pain and...
I just had to tell her off. Really. I did it kindly, but I did. Because this is our delivery (yes,
peting73 will be there, fainted or not or so he says), my pregnancy and our kid. Sure, she/he will end up a Nerd Jr, but you know what? Nerds rule the world. Just look around you... I'll make DAMN sure Nerd Jr will know that no matter WHAT she/he decides to do with life, we will be behind her/him, supporting her/him.
And this pregnancy? When I started this journey, I told myself and
peting73 that I would do this MY way. Listen to MY body. I'll listen to advice, sure... But not to MIL or moms horror stories about how their pregnancy and delievers were, thank you... Advice, yes. Horror-stories, no thanx. I've told mom off to, when she tried to make fun of me and my achy legs the other day "That is nothing, dear..." Bah! I love and adore both my mom and my MIL, but really? Stop it. :-P
I think I've made myself clear though, kindly. I hope. Because they've both backed off and now they are mostly concerned about Nerd Jr and what to give her/him and will they be good grannies... and can they be babysitters... and will there be a possilbe playground for Nerd Jr (we live in an apartment, after all)... etc, etc, etc...
MUCH better. Let me deal with my belly by myself, thank you. I have a high pain tolerance, I know. But that don't mean I can't get annoyed at times with pain anyway. :-P
So if I've been bitch at anyone, sorry. I've just been a bit annoyed at family. But that is past now, thank gawd! So now I can just enjoy the last of my pregnancy as I should. :-)
Oh, and thank you for the encouraging words on my last post! :-D Idiot me, yes... But now the pain is gone! I feel clumsy and slightly uncomfortable at times, but no pain! WOHOO! And Nerd Jr pokes around happily in there, so no harm done to that one. :-)
