<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

We are 12 weeks away from delivery. This will be the first grandchild for my mother in law. They live on the other side of the country and she was planning on flying out to be here for the birth. She plans on staying for three weeks. 

We are excited to have her here, but at the same time, my wife and I decided that after our baby is born, we'd like 1-2 days of just myself, my wife, and our baby to kind of settle into our new life. 

We figured my MIL could be in the hospital for the delivery, then either stay in a hotel for a couple days (I suggested buying her a spa day), or take that time to visit with other family she has close by. Then after 2 days, she could come stay with us again and help out.

My wife told her our plans and she started crying, saying that if we don't want her here then she just won't come.

My wife tried explaining that we do want her here, we just also don't want to be overwhelmed immediately after having our baby. I don't think it went over well. She is suggesting that it's me who doesn't want her here, and that's not true. It's something we decided together and something that my wife wants.

My question is, are we being unreasonable/selfish for wanting this time to ourselves. And, if we aren't, how should I deal with my disappointed mother in law?
<bot>: Told MIL, we'd like a couple days of privacy after our baby is born. She didn't take it well.
