I’m getting induced. 🙌🏼 This is baby #2 and my kids will only be 15 months apart. When I had my daughter we had CONSTANT visitors. Like literally the only “bonding”’time we got with our new baby was late at night after visitors quit coming and by that point we were just so tired that we wanted to go to bed. People would literally just come by whenever and never asked if it was a good time. We also had 3 or 4 people post on FB that I was in labor. The privacy was non existent. I still regret not saying no to some people, but I guess I’m too nice? So this time we’ve decided to limit that. I posted on my Facebook a little message and apparently I’m rude for it. I have friends and family telling me it’s rude to limit visitors - especially if they have gifts. Does this seem rude to you? Are we wrong for asking this?

“This week we will be induced. I haven’t said which day yet because we want our family there first to meet this special girl, but we will let everyone else know when she does arrive. We love our friends and extended family but feel it’s only fair that close family gets to meet her first. We also want to have some bonding time with Ella as we introduce her to her new sister, so we probably won’t take visitors outside of our parents & siblings for the first few hours. These will be some precious first hours for us and we want to enjoy them while they last. We hope you guys understand why! 💕

PLEASE - let us know by call or text first if you wish to visit. I would also like to include that during labor & delivery we won’t be having visitors. This is just because of my personal preference. Love y’all - but labor is not glamorous. 😂 I hope this does not come across as rude in any way. Thank you for your understanding and we promise we will inform everyone when she arrives!”
