It's neutral ground and people don't feel compelled to stay around forever. My biggest concern is coming home and not being able to feed or pump comfortably in my own home because people will want to come and visit for hours, not just the baby but Chance too, since he's gone a lot.sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696598792179791677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462989691273269945.post-48804444707127089852012-08-07T00:01:22.160-05:002012-08-07T00:01:22.160-05:00I think your requests are reasonable and you shoul...I think your requests are reasonable and you should reiterate when in labor! I did NOT want people coming to see my in the hospital but of course Rob's family didn't respect that. I was so emotional after the twins and them coming in when all I wanted to do was scream and cry was awkward. I was in pain, I needed to pump, and it just stressed me out. Once we got home we made it clear people needed to call first before coming over. Rob's parents even got mad we asked them to wash their hands before touching our premature infants. It was ridiculous. This time we have agreed no one will know the due date, we'll hire an independent baby sitter for while I am in labor, and then Rob will take the kids while I care for the new baby. We'll let family know when we feel up to having visitors.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285525086889595753noreply@blogger.com
