[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you don't want the first two weeks to be 3 of you. It's not rainbows and butterflies, OP. It can be, but it's HARD. You will be sore and your boobs will be achy rocks. It's exhausting. It's not blissful.

It actually WAS unicorns and bliss for us BECAUSE my mom was here. She made it so my husband and I could take care of each other and the baby. My husband and I would lie down in our bed, the 3 of us, for cuddles and naps while my mom would be in the kitchen cooking. THAT was perfect. She left us alone, mostly, and did all housekeeping.

And at 2am when the baby would not sleep, she held him while I went to sleep. [/quote]

Speak for yourself.  I LOVED having just me. DH, and the baby for the first two weeks.  My mother is wonderful. But spending that time as a new family without anyone else was amazing.

My mom came just short of the 2 week mark, which was when neighbors had stopped dropping off food and our freezer meal supply had run out, the laundry was piling up, the house was getting messy, the baby wasn’t sleeping as well, and we were starting to get exhausted.  It was perfect timing IMO. [/quote]
