Raine, congratulations!! Glad to hear everyone is healthy and doing well!
As for the chastising (:)) Can I suggest something? If there is one thing I have a regret over it is not getting enough time to bond with my son when he was born. That's because I had my daughter and MIL. My daughter was easy. My MIL, not so much. She got in the way a lot and it took time to adjust that. My suggestion is that you let your H bond with the child and take the time to heal yourself. Let EVERYTHING else work itself out. I very much resented my MIL's behavior at the time and still do. I would have resented anyone that got between me and my children. Anyone.
For the next two weeks, just focus on what's important and not the other stuff. You have right here and now to enjoy the time and rest. Take that time to the exclusion of everything else. You deserve it and so does your family. There will be plenty of time for other things later if it's warranted.
Congratulations again. Very happy for you!
Peace, AJ
