Hope they've gone and you're relaxing now, Fozza.
My mum's coming over tomorrow and I have a definite bump, so I don't think I'll be able to get away with hiding it. And once she knows, we'll have to tell the ILs too. Am dreading it, and wishing I could keep this to myself a bit longer, at least until my scan in 10 days. Not that they'll be anything but thrilled, but I'm just not ready for the overprotectiveness and incessant discussion of baby. I really hate the way your body becomes public property when you're pregnant, just when I'm feeling most private and possessive of this amazing relationship. My ILs are incredibly caring and loving people but I just find them a bit overwhelming sometimes, and my mum's very supportive but she totally lacks any sense of tact or appropriate boundaries. I just don't want to share my baby yet.
