[quote=Anonymous]My first thought was, 'is it too late to tell them the baby isn't due until late January'? Unless they can help (which sounds doubtful), I think what you have done so far is spot on. Keep on holding your ground. I would also suggest, if you can afford it, to hire out help for the first few weeks. Someone to take care of you, so you can recover and take care of the baby (this is what my mother did- ironically she wanted to wait a at least a week before coming - she did all the cooking, shopping and laundry- she did get a few hours of holding and cooing too). DH can help too. We had DH do all the bathing - it gave him something to do that increased their bonding and was something that was "theirs". How long will DH be able to take off with you? Remember to KISS (Keep It Simple), carry out is your friend, Peapod is your friend....... [/quote]
