This is something my husband and I discuss ALL THE TIME. We are just baffled as to what is going to be the right course of action for us, and our baby. We will know more of her personality when we visit, but as of right now.. we are just trying to wonder...
Right now, we have two scenarios...
1) We have immediate (parents, siblings) over to meet Kiara the weekend we get home. We limit the time 2hrs (or they will NEVER leave.) And let them hold her.... I'm being very admandt that they not feed, change, soothe, or bathe her. At least get to spend SOME time with her.
2) Have the welcome home party the first 2 wks we are home, let everyone meet her then lay low for the next few weeks.
I know our family is very interested in Kiara, waiting, loving, etc... But sometimes it appears some family members think Kiara is a school project that everyone gets to take care of..
Honestly, it depends on you. I can get overwhelmed fairly easily.. then add on 2 grandmothers, 2 aunts, etc telling me what to do, hurry up, etc. Kiara is my concern, but she also needs a Mom that isn't stressed and overwhelmed.
