What do I do??

Question

Not long found out my SO and I are expecting our first baby (unplanned) 
His cousins wedding is three months after my due date!! They wanted us to come and said the baby is welcome but I'm a first time mumma and I don't know how that would work :/ 
So my choices really are 
Either me just stay at home with the baba (which I feel like my SO would be sad about) 
Take the baby with us (few hours drive) and I'm not sure what to expect by doing that ? 
Or 
Someone (a parent of ours) looks after the baby while we go to the wedding

Also with the wedding and party, I am not planning on staying the night (hoping my SO doesn't want to) as he's my ride! Will only stay for as long as I have to and leave.

Thank you and any advice is very welcome!!

Answer

My husbands cousin got married three weeks after our baby was born. It was an out of town wedding, so my mom came with us and stayed in the hotel with the baby. I nursed during the ceremony, went to the reception, came back and nursed before dinner, then my mom gave him his last bottle before the wedding was over. It worked out perfectly, the baby was so close that I could check on him whenever I wanted (which was a ton), the family got to meet him, and we didn't have to miss out oh his cousins wedding who were super close with!

Answer

If one of the grandparents could watch the baby. If you really want to go. Enjoy some alone time.

Answer

Take your new baby. It will be a great learning experience! ☺

Answer

I think you shouldnt worry about it until the time comes. You might not want to go, you might be dying to go. You might be comfortable leaving the baby with someone you trust for the night or you might not be comfortable being separated at all. Don't stress about something you can't plan for now. Cross that bridge when the time comes.

Answer

Your a first time mom, with that being said, there's a first for everything and that's how we learn, don't get scared about doing things with your baby, your learning that's how all of us moms learned  I say take your baby

Answer

I traveled 4+hours when my babies were very young and it was never an issue. But we are a traveling family and always on the road.  I'm for all of you going,  just prepare and relax!

Answer

Just my opinion, but to me taking the baby on a hours long drive would be difficult itself and then having him/her around so many people would be risky to me. With all the viruses going around and him/her being so little I would be afraid to take any chances. You do what's best for you though :)
