[quote=Anonymous]With my first, my DH and I had two days to ourselves before family came that I honestly cannot remember. Truly a blur. My husband's family came for a few days after and I will say I had no idea how to ask for help. They offered to help with night feeds and grocery runs, but as a generally independent person, that felt like a huge burden to put on them. My mom and dad came when they left and it was SO helpful. It is so nice to have people who will care for you, know what you need and you know you can ask them to do just about anything. They would take the baby at 5am, let us sleep in, make us breakfast, do laundry and have the house clean for us. They were hugely helpful and I'm so thankful they flew out. I wish they lived closer.

In retrospect, we didn't know how to ask help when my husband's family was in town but it was just so nice to have my parents jump in and care for us without question or apprehensions. Take the help. It will be such a special time for your family AND for your relationship with your mom. My mom mentioned over and over again how thankful she was she could be there to help us and take care of her grandson. [/quote]
