We generally don't travel during Thanksgiving to see our families because travel to the NY area is difficult during the holiday. We don't get an argument from them, but then, we don't see them packing up to come down and join us, either. Since I have been slowing down so much, I decided and announce this year we'd have Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant b/c I'm not doing all that cooking, and b/c all the food smells make me a bit sick these days when they linger in the house.
Now I think the baby has been dropping a bit, and the BH are taking on a new twist throughout the day, so I can't help looking ahead and wondering if I'll make it to my due date. So, what if I go into labor on Thanksgiving and need childcare for my daughter? All our friends will be away, traveling to be with their families. It kind of pisses me off that my daughter hasn't got a grandparent who could trouble him/herself to offer to come to us and be here for her in case her mother brings them another grandchild to love on that day. No I never asked them to, but God, where the hell do they think babies come from?
I put out a query with a number of our friends, and it looks sketchy through the 4 day weekend, but I am sure if it comes down to an emergency someone here will be able to modify their plans for us. That's what friends are for. As for family, !uck them. Let's not pretend they were any help at all the last time. They can come down and meet their new granddaughter when I say it suits me. And they can stay in a hotel this time.

I have a similar situation concerning in-laws. But they actually live pretty close-they are always so busy! So I just don't ask anymore. I struggle through a prenatal appointment rather than feeling rejected. I have to say I feel much satisfaction knowing I did it on my own-a little prideful sounding I guess. But independence is a good thing!! Although I do have a friend close by that swaps "sitting" with me. I hope when you do go into "active" labor all will fall into place :) I am sure it all will! Enjoy Thanksgiving at your favorite place this year! No dishes!!! Yahooo!!!
