18-9-2009 - NEED HELP LADIES

My mood while writing this blog: fusterated

So heres my issue,

It is really important to my BF and I that no one be in the room while I'm giving birth. We really want that moment when we meet our son to be just us. Well the problem is my family. I love my mom and sister and they have been such great support through this all and I really don't have the heart to tell them that they can't be in the room for that short time. My sister(older) is just going to want to be in there and I've never been able to tell her no and my mom works at the hospital where I am to deliver as a labor and delivery nurse. She has senority over just about all the other nurses on the floor so no one is going to tell her she can't be in the room. I just don't know what to do. My sister in law said not to worry about it since when that moment is happening I won't be thinking about who is in the room but I can't help but think that we will never be able to meet our first born again. My cousin told her mom a few years ago that she couldn't be there and it started a whole lot of drama. After that she pretty much stayed away from the family. My mom has never missed the birth of any of her grandchildren and I know how much it means to her. It sucks because it means alot to my boyfriend and I but it also means alot to my mother. Then my boyfriend's sister asked him if she could be in the room. He says that if my family is in there then his can be too. What should I do?
