Do I sound rude?

Before I got pregnant even till before I give birth, I underestimated the love I have towards my baby. Back then when taking care of my niece/nephews, I get annoyed and impatient really quickly. Now my baby keeps me awake all day long and occasionally cries yet I feel happy. I became really protective of my baby (first baby). My mil keeps asking my husband to bring my baby to see his grandmother (which we probably visit during new year and the last is 2 years back). I have no issues, but my baby is barely a week old. She hasn’t got her vaccinations done nor is her immune system built up yet, I’m really worried and annoyed. Is it wrong for me to feel this way?

I told my husband "If they make me happy, I'll bring the baby over. If I'm not happy, nobody be seeing the baby. " And I make it a point anywhere baby goes, only if mummy is also there. No such thing as bring baby and leave mummy behind. Heck care " mummy personal time" " let mummy rest". When people say that it sounds fake. Right? Like "Oh since when you care about my wellbeing? Only when you want to see the grandkids, right?" So, no I don't need "rest" time, right now I want to be with my kids. You gave birth to the baby, you have the say, make it a point. Don't care people say overprotective whatever. Its not the time to be less than overprotective.
