So this summer my boyfriend and I moved from Maryland to California leaving all of our friends and family behind. The baby is due December 6th so she'll be not quite a month old around Christmas time. I know my family and friends will want us to fly home so they can see the baby, but it's just not feasible. My friend is upset that I won't be coming home but I don't want to risk taking my not even 3 week baby on an airplane. Too many germs and we'll both still be adjusting to our new lives. Any one else dealing with this? How do I tell then without making it seem like I don't want to go. I'd love to spend the holidays with them but I simply cannot.
