Having a newborn at Christmas??

[caggimedicine]

I'm due on the 3rd Dec, although I think i'll be late (like I was with my first).
Either way, whether baby comes on time, early or late, we're not going anywhere at Christmas apart from to my parents who live down the road. DH's family live 200 miles away, and there's no way i'm doing that journey. We want to relax and enjoy baby's first Christmas together at home as a family, not in the car on a motorway.

As for people coming to us - they can if they want, but if they expect my usually high standards of house work and cooking to remain, they'll be disappointed!

Chill out and sod everyone else is my plan!

My son was born December 23rd. I had a C-section and wasn't released till December 27th. So we celebrated in the hospital with immediate family.

I had DS on the 6th December 2010. We did christmas dinner at our house as I thought it would be easier than running around to everybody's houses. It worked in that sense but didnt get any help with cooking etc so this year even though we are due in October we are having christmas dinner at home and if people want to come and see us either side of meals thats fine but im not cooking for anybody or going out!
