Sorry about that marshian family stuff is hard and boundaries and understanding someone's wishes is really important. It's your time with your baby, she will have plenty of time to get to see and know baby . I guess it's good that she told you what she is thinking (even though it's all about her) since silent resentment can cause severe rifts, but I can see how it's frustrating too. Thank goodness she wasn't planning on just disrespecting you and overriding your wishes with a surprise visit!! Wtf!?
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
wannabmama - I'm majorly judging whichever friend told her to just come up anyway! I just don't know how her telling me she's hurt and assumed she could come is helping anything. It doesn't change my mind, which I think is what she was after.
The part about her "talking about her feelings" is bigger than this. She made a comment around how she's never said how she feels and she needs to start doing it. Yes, she needs to stop bottling stuff up. But she hasn't figured out how to talk about things in a productive way. It's always about her and we're always the bad guys (me and my sisters). She always knows what's best. So while in general I'm all for being open and honest, she's doing it for selfish reasons. Ugh. Sorry, I'm totally unloading on all of you.
I should be checking my work email since I was out a few hours at my appointment, but at this point I could not care less. Hope your work day is over soon!
It ended finally! Since it was over 11 hours my company pays for me to get dinner. I just demolished a burrito 🌯 and I am now munching on taco chips.

marshian I'm sorry you had to deal with family stuff today. It's really hard for me to stand up to my family, so I admire your ability to do so tactfully, and I think you're doing the right thing.

H and I had date night. Went to the fancy mall and had dinner at Cheesecake Factory. I had a delicious dinner of stuffed mushrooms and avocado toast with chicken, complete with a virgin mojito. Didn't get to do much shopping since nothing fits these days, but it was a wonderful evening and just what I needed to feel like a human again.

I'm late, but good for you marshian! It's hard to stand up to that sort of stuff. I'm continually amazed at how non-parents manage to make a birth All About Them.
