Multiple visitors after birth
I feel like I'm being invaded and the baby isn't even here yet. Due in 8 weeks. Most of my family lives out of town and all of them have decided they want to fly out or drive here when the baby is born. Some of them have said they want to come for a few weeks. This stresses me out for multiple reasons. A) my husband is taking 2 Weeks of leave right when baby is born and is taking the remaining 6 weeks after I go back. We're only going to have a limited amount of time just the three of us before he has to go back to work. B) the thought of having people come visit just to see the baby makes me think they will plan to spend all day, everyday at my house. When will I get alone time with my husband and baby? C) there are 6 people all coming out right at the birth. I don't want that many people in my house! I will feel pressure to host them! One of those people is my dad and he's the only one I actually want over. He lives in another state and I only see him a few times a year. I want to make sure he has plenty of uninterrupted time with his first grandchild without these other family members constantly trying to hold the baby! What is everyone else doing? What are your thoughts on this? Tips from experienced moms?? This is clearly my first lol I don't want to hurt feelings but I literally feel like im being smothered.
