Preparing Christmas Meal Before Giving Birth
Backstory
My First child was due Christmas Day, although my Dr. had recently said that it wouldn't arrive til the New Year. I was so disappointed that my baby wouldn't arrive in time for Christmas! Yet I was excited that my parents were driving 8 hours to spend Christmas with us. I prepared the entire meal myself and was feeling better then I had in some time! They arrived as I was finishing up. My husband was annoyed that I was doing too much and of course my Mother had thought she'd cook for us. Therefore, I was forced to sit down & put my feet up after the meal and they would clean up. I had already done too much in my condition according to all. I totally disagreed and wanted to clean up my own kitchen. Needless to say I went into labor shortly and gave birth to my first child!
