Need fast answer

Katie87 - 10:09pm Jan 19, 2012 EST

Hello all- I have talked to my pediatrician about my preemie being around a woodstove. We are visiting my inlaws tonight for dinner and they have one. I have asked them to turn it off and she said she would clean it out. I then talk to my worry wart mother as I am also a worrier and she makes me nervous again worrying about ash and particles getting into her lungs... With it being off and us being in a different room don't you think it would be ok? ahhh!!!! I have a hard enough time letting them be around her as it is. It's hard for some reason to let anyone but my immediate family be near her; I don't know why. My mom keeps a really clean house and it's a fairly new house and I guess I worry because my inlaws are in an older house and with a lot of stuff in it... This makes me sound really bad they are awesome wonderful people. Help; I need some reassurance in the next hour; lol!!!

Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!  

I was like that too with my in laws and my son was a full termer! I was much more protective of him when they were around then when it was just my family, still am! Totally normal I think. It does get a better as time goes on though.

I was the same way with my in-laws as you are. We can't all be abnormal right? So it must be normal
It's always better to be extra cautious than them to pick something up from being hap hazard.
