[quote=Anonymous]Do they normally schedule visits that long? I would suggest they come for a shorter time near the end of your maternity leave (thinking week 9 or 10) so you're fully recovered and the baby is to the point of smiling and interacting some. You might wish to get out a little on your own at that point (i.e., go shop for an hour or two for new work clothes, get a haircut, etc). DH could take some of that time off to spend with his parents so it is not just you. Say no to the childcare. You're right that the baby doesn't need two transitions (let alone you and DH). And say no to the long visit. If you know it drives you nuts normally, it will be ten times worse when you're dealing with the emotions of going back to work. That's not when you want to have to share your baby with someone else let alone socialize with houseguests--you will likely want to come home and have your baby all to your and DH's selves.[/quote]
