I didn`t want any visitors at all. I`m greedy! My Mom and I don`t get along, my Dad was mad at me because I wasn`t married before having a baby, and we don`t talk to my SO`s family at all. The only people I didn`t care that came to visit was my Grandparents. I`m an only child and we have a REALLY small family so my Grandma and I are close. They came to the hospital to visit. I called Gram at 2:30 in the morning to tell her I had the baby and she was at the hospital by 5 AM waiting to see Alesha lol. My Grandparents are earlybirds though and they had been waiting for 9 months so they were a little impatient. I still don`t like people to visit and I will Not let anyone hold my baby unless its my grandparents. Gram and I are both freaky about germs because she just got done with chemo.

When the mom wants you there :) some want you the day they come home, some a few days later some sometime later :) It really depends on the mom ~ I personally wanted all my visitors the first couple days while I was on my adreniline rush so I had some time then after to myself when my hormones crashed and I was worn out and didnt want visitors.

i told every1 who wanted to see the baby that they better visit at the hospital because im not opening my door at home until around 2 weeks...i didnt want to worry about cleanin, entertaining, havin enuf food or drinks in the fridge. i wanted to have a routine 1st.

Well I think it depends on your relationship with the person. For family- I`m usually at the hospital and house right away. I had one friend that`s a spaz so we didn`t go until she called, which was like a week or two. But normally I think 3-4 days is good. I was in good shape, after birth so I didnt` mind early visitors!

  1. Thanks to my twin`s ability to trek down here, my records are straightened out! I will be having my first appointment on February 29th. I will be 10 weeks-ish. Around here that is about when they want to see you. When did you get your first appointment?
  2. What do you think is better (or worse) for kids? TV or video games?
  3. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  4. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  5. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  6. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  7. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  8. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  9. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  10. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
