Yikes ~ Just had to get this out

[billysmommy]

Sometime in the next 2-3 years MIL is going to be having a hip replacement. And she is going to be staying with us for a week or so when she gets out of hospital/rehab. DH and I are not at all thrilled about this but she has very valid reasons for staying with us. I think I'm going to take a vacation when she leaves!!!

And make sure that DH can take vacation from work, so he is home to HELP.

I would see about hiring someone to help her. Also get a video baby monitor so if she needs something she can just tell you over the monitor so you don't go into her room to often.
