We will be 33 weeks on Thursday. The time just keeps flying by. Everything so far looks good and the fibroid have not been an issue (knock on wood).
Been dealing with a lot of stress. We have decided and made it very clear (or so we thought) it will be just him and I in delivery and for a short time after.
We worked so hard to get here and just want time enjoy our new baby. After that, because of large family have just family come in. then friends.
Some friends think they should be considered family because of this this reason or that and getting upset. I tell them this is how we want it because we don't want a huge crowd. And we are not making exceptions for any one. If we make one for person A, we have to make it for person B. Then person C ..... you see where this is going? Have had 2 people tell me they won't come and no matter what i say helps.
But I'm the one being selfish? ugh.
I think we are just going call people and tell them when we are ready for them.
One person keeps asking (about a half dozen times already) to be there in delivery because she wants to see a birth. (watch a video) and when asked about someone watching her 6 & 7 yr old on short notice, she said oh well I will have them sit on the other side of the curtain or by your head so they don't see anything. I don't even want HIS kids there and the are 11 & 16.
I thought i finally got it through her head then she said to me fine, if you don't want me there I wont come. it's just another baby being born, no big deal.
Really? and you're one saying you should be considered family?. Was told I have to tape the birth so others can see it too. If I wanted you to see it, I would have let you in. I really don't want my bits out there for all to see.
Is our wishes unreasonable? I understand people are excited.
If you made it this far, thanks for letting me vent.
