Oh. I think you really need to make sure they stay somewhere else! Those first few weeks are hard but its time for you and hubby to get to know your little baby and get yourself sorted out a bit. Short visits are nice, but no more than that. I remember back then I'd just get Hannah to bed and e about to go for a sleep myself and someone would turn up - almost enough to make me cry! Anyway I really feel for you. Hope it works out ok.  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Good luck, those first few weeks are so precious and its nice to get yourself into a rountine. We have just spent two weeks with my in laws in aussie and that was enough ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

From experiance be straight up with them. Say it's all new to you, you don't what you are dong or how you will react so is it possible if they either have somewhere they can stay on short notice (another relly?) or stay else where and stay at your place every now and again!? The pressure will be off you if you don't have to feel like you have to be the "hostess" / mum / wife etc!!!
Good Luck ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

| Yeah, suggest that they might like to stay somewhere else, to give you adn them your own space. I think that'd help you keep your sanity more than anything else. |
