Thanksgiving with a newborn?

Sebrena

My due date is November 17th and thanksgiving is the 23rd. I know my son can come at any point (my first was born at 35 weeks and 5 days). My family has decided to do thanksgiving at my moms instead of my aunts (my mom lives 15 minutes away from me) so that I could be there. Would you personally take a newborn to a family get together? Is it rude to ask people not to hold him if i do go?
