Best wishes mommyof3! You need a gatekeeper at the delivery room door to keep your family out of your hair until you're ready for them.
Onelastdream, I can't even believe that your mil's neighbour said that. People are just so insensitive! I was out for lunch with my 2 boys today and the cashier asked if I knew what I was having. I said 'it's a girl' and she said 'Oh, thank heavens. Then congratulations to you!'. So what the hell would she have said if I'd said it was a boy?? 'My sympathies'???? Some people just say whatever they want without thinking first.
Some old lady at the grocery store came up to me this week, pointed out the one physical flaw I am most insecure and self-conscious about and said she felt sorry for me because of it. I told her how frigging awesome it feels to have it pointed out by strangers. I've decided that when I reach a certain age, I'm tossing out my filter and I'm just going to let my mouth run off with itself. My kids will be horrified but I'll be having a ball!
