05-11-2009 - Question

My mood while writing this blog: confused

---

Heres my story then my question. My baby's grandmother (dad's mom) wants me to come over for thanksgiving and bring the baby, If I have her by then. Well there is going to be 20 people 3 kids and a big dog. I just don't feel comfortable having her around that many people at once and ecspecially now with the flu going around. Do you think I am over reacting? How long would you wait? I think it is diffrent if I was going to the store or something, I can cover her up so people don't touch her and easily tell strangers no. But the 20 are all family and are going to want to be holding her, kissing her, all that stuff. Please tell me what you think. TIA. : )

Oh and one more question, I am 37 weeks and no changes and she is still high. Anyone had this happen to them there first pregnancy but the baby still came in time? I am worried I will have to be induced if I am late which I don't want at all. But if I have to be I would rather do it when the dad can be here which is on my due date the 26th till the 29th, he's in the military so it makes it a little harder. I don't know what to do.

You know people will be disappointedif you dont show but you are the mommy and boss!Sooo if I were you -if you go-be diligent and just say with all this flu stuff going on I would rather just me hold her or let her just stay in her carrier! Its just safer and I wont worry so much! Def dont let little kids hold baby or really get too close,and if people dont understand then screw them,thats what your job is....to protect your baby! I will agree with someone who had said newborns have quite a bit of immunities built up from us!Also most adults are pretty smart,if they have a cold they usually are honest and say I have a cold so I wont hold her now!

I think this is a hard 1 hun but like Claire says baby could get flue at the store and it is hard to tell family no they will be so excited to see the baby but if I were your bf mom I would understan if you didnt want to come. Mabey you could just say you are soooooo tired with the baby being due or if baby is here that you dont really want to stay out with baby yet as it is new good look hun hope you sort something out xxxx

My baby is due around Christmas and I went ahead and informed everyone that he wouldn't be there this year. I wasn't chancing anything. The grandparents and his aunt and uncles will get to see him but our extended family will have to wait. I am not risking my baby's health just because they want to see him. It is just not worth it. If you talk to them about it they should understand. I have never missed a Christmas with my family, but they understand why. Good luck!
