Re: Would this bother you?
Did she just send out an email or something like, "Hey everyone...In case you haven't heard baby _______ was born on _______."
THAT probably wouldn't bother me but if she sent out an actual paper/ mailed announcement, I would lose my freaking mind. 
What does your DH say/ plan to do?

Re: Would this bother you?
It is definitely odd that she did that. I didn't send announcements or xmas cards and it is my ds' first xmas so most people would probably think I am weird. If my mil did that I wouldn't have cared since I didn't send them b/c I think it is a waste of money. But I would have been annoyed if it wasn't clear they were from her because another reason I didn't send announcements is b/c I didn't want anyone to think I was looking for gifts. I know this is not why people send announcements but I would be upset if 1 or 2 people thought I was looking for gifts.

Re: Would this bother you?
I would have been super pissssssed off, that is overstepping her boundaries, she is Grandma not mom. Hopefully this isn't a sign of what your in for with her, if so nip it in the butt now.

I agree. If my MIL did that I'd have a hard time forgiving her. It's MY job and privilege to announce MY birth and MY new baby!

Agree.
But unlike the others suggest I portion would not send out second announcements. I wouldn't like the drama everyone's chatting about to be over my nb (even though it's really over mil). I'd be ****** don't get M r wrong- I just don't know that id want to take it publickwim?

I too would be livid. She is 100% in the wrong to send out printed birth announcements for the birth of your DC.

But really she stole your thunder you gave birth to this baby not her.....i agree i would resend YOUR card with the birth announcement of YOUR baby not hers.....to all the people she sent cards too and i would tell her you are resending them .

Re: Would this bother you?
Did she send out I'm a Grandma announcements or birth announcements. If it was a birth announcement, I would say she overstepped, but if it was a I'm a Grandma announcement, I would be ok with that.
My son was born early and I was a little hesitant at first to say anything to anyone about him even being born. Then I found out that my mom had posted on FB from the hospital that she was a grandma. It actually made life a little easier for me because she got all the hope he is ok emails instead of me and I was in no condition to answer them. I avoided the computer while he is in the NICU.

Re: Would this bother you?
To clarify(i cant update original post)- this happened a few months ago when i was extremely postpartum and at that time i was focused on something else MIL did at that time that hurt me deeply so i didnt really think about it.
DH dosent remember her saying this so he is no help. I am trying not to speak with her right now. It would just lead to another argument to bring this up and I am sick of it and no longer pursuing a relationship right now.
I really hope i am not a crazy MIL one day.

Re: Would this bother you?
i would be ****** as all hell. This is your child..you send the announcements. if she wants to send a card to her friends/family, then she waits until AFTER you send the first one.
my MIL had a picture of Dh & DS printed at walgreens..actually 20 of the same shot, which she put into white envelopes and handed out to her friends/family at SIL's bridal shower last summer. I was kind of annoyed that she hands out a picture to everyone that wasn't the 3 of us, but whatever.
however, your story takes the cake..

Re: Would this bother you?
That's rude and she overstepped her boundaries. It was not her place to send out birth announcements even if it was only to her side of the family. In my opinion, her action is very telling of the kind of person she is and that would make me livid. It's almost a passive aggresive way of telling you that you are not being responsible by sending them out when she saw fit.
I'd be livid and if it's a pattern, I would minimize my contact with her. You go ahea and send out your birth announcements and anyone from her side of the family asks, be honest and tell them that you didn't know she sent any out and had noot asked her.

Re: Would this bother you?
Yes, tremendously.
I agree with the PP - send one out of your own with emphasis on "Proud parents John and Jane Doe are please to announce the arrival of their baby X"
She's the one who looks dumb.

Re: Would this bother you?
I would flip my lid. I would 100% send out the announcement as planned. If it makes her look bad or weird that she sent one, oh well. WTH is wrong with people?
This is akin to her sending out thank yous to people who attended YOUR wedding kwim? Psychotic!
