Due with my first baby (boy) Nov. 25. I have a feeling I will go early. My mom is planning to come to stay to help (I'm completely ok with this). This will be her 10th grand baby so she will be a huge help. It's the first grand baby on my husbands side, So everyone is rightly excited. Our baby is being born in the middle of cold and flu season so I'm worried about keeping early visits to a minimum. I know my mom will be a good buffer, but if he is born early I know my in laws will want us to bring him to family thanksgiving at their house (we're talking 30+ people). I don't think I can justify that. I'm semi ok with a few people at a time coming to see us. Maybe restrict it to grand parents in the hospital then other family can come in small groups when we are home.
