Good morning ladies,
I'm writing my list of names of people to call once we have the LO and its grown to 12 people and I'm not done. What do you think the max number of people should be on the list? Considering germs and everything else I don't want 100 visitors.
TIA
Re: Delivery day calls?
Also depends on the day of the week you have the baby. My first two were born on Saturdays, so I think I had more traffic than if it had been a weekday.
That aside, it's really up to you. I remember nursing being difficult for me, and a lot of visitors (other than parents, sister, etc.) was a little frustrating.
You will not want to be on the phone with 10-20-30 people after delivery. Have you thought about a mass text message, calling your parents and having them call people or just announcing on FB?
Also, you can announce the baby arrived and ask that nobody drop by and visit...make a lost of who you would like to see at the hospital and who should wait to visit when you get home...people will understand.
Just our parents and maybe my brother and BIL. You don't want to be trapped on the phone going over your whole birth story all day to every Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, friend, neighbor, co-worker, dog-walker, mail man etc.
Keep it short. Let your parents call people.
