Am I wrong for this?

Katie

Lately, I've been hearing from everyone in my life about what they want to do when the baby is born, how many photos they're going to take, how they can't wait to show her off, etc.

I've told my friends and family that I really only want to have immediate family near her when she comes for at least the first 2 or so weeks. This is my first child and I'm already so stressed out about bonding with her, getting the hang of breastfeeding, learning to cope with the midnight wake ups when she's hungry and fussy... I just want to be able to have a while to breathe with her before she's thrust into the spotlight.

So far, the only person that has agreed with me is her father (my fiancé) and told me that I should take whatever time I need. Everyone else, including my mom, is telling me that I'm a worry wart or that she'll be fine with having other visitors. My friend got a little upset saying that I should trust them enough with her, but that isn't the point. The point is, i want to be able to bond with her, myself. I want to be able to soak in those first few weeks and learn fist hand what I should and shouldn't do without the influence of others pressuring me on my own child.

Do you agree that I am doing the right thing or do you think that I'm perhaps worrying too much, like everyone has said?
