So my DH and I had a little "discussion" last night about how we wanted to come home from the hospital. I know...we're super early, but the conversation came up.
Do you envision walking in through the door to your house with your baby, DH/OH and just settling in?
Or do you want his mom there to help welcome you and the baby home and help care for the baby?

Or do you have some other idea?
DH thought it would be helpful to have his mom there to help with the baby while I recovered. I told him I didn't want anyone there. I said those first few days are going to be rough - me in pain and recovering and also us trying to figure out how to suddenly become parents.
If anything, I'd have MY mom come over so she could help if I needed it. Like with BF'ing or helping me with pain. But honestly I don't do well with others (except DH) being around if I'm in pain or frustrated.
What do you guys want? What have you had in the past if you already have a baby?
