helllo princess poppy! lol. I feel so sad that you have to write a letter like that to the people who are supposed to be supporting and understanding of you and your DH and what's happening. Just wanted to send you big hugs! You have every right to lay down the law - that way everyone should know was is expected of them and hopefully won't overstep the bounds.

is your step mum trying to force her way into the labour ward? (you don't have to answer that poppy, just curious that's all).

I had a whinge about my mum but her heart is in the right place. albeit in an obessesed nanna kind of way lol. If i told her to 'back the eff up lady' she would do it so quickly i'd only see dust heehee. Same with my MIL, who is a very sweet woman.

We are in the same situation where our house is too small for visitors to stay... plus the spare room is now the nursery (we can put one person on a mattress in the office). But we pointed this out as soon as we were preggy and that we don't want anyone staying so parents and ILs have booked motels up the road for chrissy. No hassels fortunately. - that is what you should expect too lovely.

It was just thinking, you've had to write this letter which is basically an etiquette letter around birth that most normal people would automatically adopt! I hope if helped you vent a bit and get some of those issues clear in your head.

hi girls! another beautiful day here. might go pooling it again Slept terribly... someone [looks at belly] was squirming all night and my legs kept cramping.
