So,
Mini whybe has arrived! DW had our baby boy Saturday 13.2. Both went through the ordeal well and we ahad been adjusting to the new situation since. I will go back to work Friday.
Amazingly shenanigans are still up on DW's side of the family, although we can't be 100% sure... Someone clipped his nails right under our noses. And MIL is our immediate suspect. Here goes:
He was born with longer than average nails and a full head of hair. for his cousin (SIL's daughter) who was born 5 months ago, MIL clipped the nails at the hospital before checking out. We were against the idea, as were the medical staff at the hospital, recommending waiting until 1 month old. MIL expressed her discontent with his nails a few times but we told her we won't agree to it.
At the baby's circumcision ceremony, last saturday, he was put under local anaesthesia (we spent on having a doctor perform the circumcision and not a traditional /mohel/), and was pretty happy during the whole thing. Everyone was happy and many people held him while we were taking care of things like payment and such. Later that night, DW notices he isn't scratching her so much during feeding and looked. We were shocked to see that all his nails in is hands have been cut short... We immediately asked all of the 30 people who attended if anyone saw anything. Of course no one confessed, but we have our suspicions. The only pair of baby nail clippers in the house is in my backpack, and not in plain sight. The only person with enough beef and chutzpah to do this is MIL.but why does she think it's OK to do that without telling? Then bluntly lying about it? We feel we can't trust MIL to stay alone with baby now. Nor with my mother. Vigilance is key.
