[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only is it fine with the peanut gallery, but it seems to be fine with your sister as well, which is the most important person.

One of the problems with first babies is that everyone, especially grandparents, always want to visit as soon as possible, right when the new Mom is trying to recover from the hospital experience (if needed), get used to new sleep patterns, try to bond with the baby, etc.  The new parents need that first month or two to get used to their new normal and the extended family are fighting to meet the new grandchild as soon as possible.  So, tell you sister when you getting back from your once in a lifetime vacation and ask when it is convenient for her that you come by and visit and help out.  So many want to visit in the first month or two, but, often having a visitor, especially a helper, is easier after the dust settles from the initial homecoming for the baby.

I'm a member of a multiples club (twins, triplets, etc) and our Sunshine committee arranges for members to make meals for new parents at their convenience.  I've made meals for at least a half dozen families and most of the time the requests come in for 4-8 months after birth.  [/quote]

WTH does a family need meals delivered 4-8 months after a baby is born?  That’s ridiculous.  [/quote]
