I agree with another post . Let her know up front (politely) that you are looking forward to spending that time with your husband getting the nursery ready for YOUR child . Get most of it done yourself ......then find something that she could do to add her touch to the room . I'm a Mother 5x's over . And people still with each pregnancy were so eager to help . And while it's nice to know they care , sometimes they can be pushy . I myself just became a great aunt ....thank you very much ! LOL And I had to remember to back off . Even though she was my favorite niece and and I her favorite aunt . IT WASN'T MY BABY . Sometimes we just want to help , not knowing we are stepping on others toes . We need to know when we are , if someone doesn't tell us we don't know . Just tell her that you will let her know when it is that you need her help . She'll be waiting eagerly for that call .....I bet you................
