Well I had a dr appointment last Thursday. I haven't posted about my appointment yet but I will now. I brought Darren's mom with me because she wanted to hear the heartbeat. Well we go and we actually don't wait very long at all. We go back and my dr's nurse took all my vitals and whipped out the dopplar. She had problems finding the heartbeat. A few weeks ago I was very sick and had high fever. When I went in to see them then she had no problem finding it. It made me nervous and I'm actually still not feeling the best about my appointment but she didn't seem worried so I'm trying not to be. She would catch bits and pieces but wasn't entirely sure if it was the placenta or the baby. I had no idea the placenta gave off a noise for the dopplar!
Well we see the doc and he confirms my next appt and we leave. On the way home, Darren's mom asks me if she can come when we find out what we're having. Now, I have zero problems talking to my MIL because she's just that awesome. So I told her "look this is kinda something for me and Darren. You know..it's like our little family thing. it'll be the only appointment Darren comes to and I'd love it if it was just me and him" Well she didn't have a problem with it.
She then asks me who is all going to be in the delivery room! I tell her "Just me and Darren and the medical staff. Darren isn't allowed past my stomach." She says well when you delivered Wyatt you let T (Darren's sister) stay in the room. I tell her "Yes I let her stay but only because I couldn't stop crying to ask her to leave. I don't want anyone else in that room but us. It's a special time for us and after everything is all cleaned up and my legs are freaking closed everyone is more than welcome to come in"
She then asks if we're going to film the birth!!!!!
Okay I think that's where I almost slammed on my breaks (I was driving back to her house to drop her off) I turned to her and said "Why in the world would I want to film a baby coming out of me? That's not something I ever want to watch or ever want to show my children!" Apparantly Darren's sister let her parents film it with her two kids..I reminded her I wasn't T and that was something that was deffinately NOT being filmed. She proceeded to tell me I was wierd and was a freak since I didn't want to film the birth. She thinks I'm being to "over protective" of this pregnancy...hmmm...I actually prefer to think of it as mine and my husbands own personal choices. Well except the filming..that's my own damn choice. That's my girly bits all out in the open!
I'm wondering if I'm going to have problems with this basket case later on down the road in this pregnancy....
oh yikes!!! the filming is something I definitely agree with you on! who wants to see THAT??! GL with her!!
ReplyDeletethis post literally made me LOL. I'm guessing your MIL doesn't read your blog?
ReplyDeleteI agree though, why on Earth would anyone film that?! No thanks!
