Should I Ask Her?

My Mother-in-Law is coming into town this weekend and is staying for a whole week!  I’m so excited to get to see her before we move to Texas and they move to Kentucky this Summer.  (It’s going to be a busy Summer.) 

My sweet husband has tried to tell her about #7, but she has been so nervous about moving that she talked over him and never heard his big announcement…..which means someone needs to tell her before she comes so she can practice her reply. (I’m a realist here.  People are generally shocked with the idea of 7 children even when they love them all.  You have to give people a chance to practice, it’s only fair.)

The thing is, I have an ultrasound on Tuesday.  It’s not a big anatomy scan, more of a peek to make sure that everything is okay.  I really want to ask her if she wants to go with me…..but here’s the thing….medical stuff makes her completely uneasy and a little greenish.  I don’t want to put her in a spot where she has to say ‘yes’ if she’s rather not go….on the other hand it’s the chance to see her grandchild months before he/she is born….if I were her I’d jump at the chance.

Alright, Internets, I’m putting this in your wise and capable hands….do I ask her? Do I let the Computer Guy mention it casually?  Or do I just accept that she hates anything medical and leave the poor woman alone?  What would you do?

‘Cause if it were me, I’d kill for the chance….but she’s not me……and she might be willing to wait to see #7 on arrival day…..
