…say we had guests. It\u2019s my mom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was still hooked up to the pump, totally exposed and caught off guard. His mom?<\/em> She hadn\u2019t even told us she was coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I heard her voice drifting up the stairs, loud and cheerful. \u201cWhere\u2019s my grandbaby?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I scrambled to unhook, grab a robe, and cover up. Meanwhile, my husband stood there, holding the baby like a human shield, visibly annoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe just showed up,\u201d he whispered. \u201cDidn\u2019t even knock\u2014she brought a casserole and said she was staying the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I blinked. \u201cShe\u2019s what?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n At that moment, she appeared at our bedroom door, arms wide open like this was some reunion scene in a movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No text. No call. No warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And just like that, my living room was full of suitcases, baby talk, and unsolicited parenting advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lesson learned: never ignore the doorbell… and always expect the unexpected when you\u2019re postpartum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …say we had guests.
