When is a good time to start planning a baby ?? I am having two because my boyfriends family has people who can't travel and my family has some that cant travel and they live 5 hours apart. I'm more interested in seeing family and friends and getting together than gifts. But the one for my family the location depends on who would attend so not sure when to start coming up with date and all that. It would either be at my parents house or grandparents house (which are 45 minutes away from each other). First time mom so everything is still new to me
