[quote=Anonymous]OP - BTDT. My biggest piece of advice would be to get DH on board RIGHT NOW, 100%. After baby arrives you will be BUSY and it will be his job to play bouncer/social secretary. We set a strict policy. NOBODY IS WELCOME UNTIL WE CALL YOU. We called our parents in the first day or so home, other friends/relatives after maybe a week. Even then, guests had to leave before dinner (DH's idea). That killed any notion of staying with us, and allowed us time to just learn to be a family, which is hard enough. DH also was quite comfortable saying "Okay, thanks for visiting, here is your coat" and "Let's reschedule, today is turning out to be a not-so-good day for visiting." I can guarantee that without DH's support and willingness to be the bad guy, I would have lost my mind.[/quote]
