[quote=Anonymous]OP, I recommend putting your own emotional well being first in this instance.  I have a mother who has no boundaries or acknowledgement of other people's feelings.  She thought she could lob verbally abusive bombs at me anytime without any regard for how it would make me feel.  I shed many tears over this, and was made the bad guy if I ever said "you hurt me when you said..."
From going to therapy I was given the tools to deal with this.  One thing I can offer from my experience is that in life we have choices. We can chose not to allow that into our lives, we can chose not to react and we can chose who we surround ourselves with.  Essentially create boundaries and do not allow her to violate them emotionally, verbally or physically. 
You must take the time and peace to enjoy this new baby.  You don't get a do over with this child's entry into the world. Do not allow your mother to rob you of this. If you get push back, delete emails, don't take her calls and put yourself with new baby first.  Wishing you all the best![/quote]
