I am a MIL, too, and I would advise as the other woman did that you have no idea how things will play out with the birth of a new baby.  You seem to forget that this is also going to be a "major change" in the life of your daughter, and it will be important to have things as calm and normal for her in helping her adjust to the new person in her life, too,without added stress on you or DH.  Whenever the baby is born AND you could even be overdue, it is key that this will be a very young baby in a very hard time of th eyear with enough germs coming in from his sister's activities who does not need over exposure to a band of relatives.  And, as others have said, you do not need to be hosting nything.
You should do Thanksgiving at home as a family as your DH is so wise to say.  This should have been a non-issue from the very beginning, and especially since you see them very often and have Christmas planned to be with them this year in any case.

It does no use to go on and on, the decision has been made and next time MIL brings it up, say you will look forward to showing her the new grandchild and spending the Christmas holiday with her.
