I was met by my mom, dad, sister's three sons and brother-in-law. There were a few signs and a few balloons. I NEEDED IT!

My daughter was in my arms and she stayed there, but it was such a relief to be home and have friendly faces there.

We drove home from the airport and then had a family dinner. Then everyone left. It was that point that I was home with my daughter and I didn't have any visitors for the first two weeks, other than my mom and dad.

My daughter was two. She was tired and slept in the car and then really enjoyed everyone for an hour or so, before they went home.

It is a personal decision. In my opinion, at that point it isn't about the child - it is for the parents. The child has gone through so much a few greetings at the airport make little difference.
