Tanya, I love that picture of Lucas, he looks so cute! Thanks for the advice, but I moved about 300 miles away from my mum (wonder why) so she wants to stay for ages and ages. She's also not an internet person and I've already told her 5-6 times the baby is NOT due on the 10th, but she still keeps telling me it is. As I don't want her to know any details about the baby (other than I'm having one in Feb, these are the scans, I now have a bump) I'm happy about her not being net-happy.

DH's parents are fine, although if they visit in the first week I'll tell DH to tell them that Liebling and I are sleeping if we're not up to it, so they can come on day 8 for an hour or so. I'm fine with that. Just not my parents.

Ah well, there's always the chance Liebling will come early and I can just not call my mum for 2 weeks. That is looking like my best option, either that or I have a 2-week space in which I can e-mail my dad when my mum isn't with him and spell it all out to him. Or maybe call him when my mum's out, but that's harder, and it will only lead to shouting and upsets. Or I could make a seperate website with only the information on I want my parents to have and give them that address, that is a very good idea, thanks! I'm sure my mum will look at it if I send her the link enough times.

I can see my mum being like your mum and MiL (they sound ghastly! - I've read some of your other posts) so I'm happy I have at least a good MiL. I just don't fancy mum, dad and sis having a go at me for not playing pass the parcel with Liebling and upsetting THEM by not being all bright and happy to see them.
