3. What is your child care situation? daycare 3 days a week, the other 2, the babies father will watch him
4. How long do you plan on waiting to have visitors? i have let a few people know they can come to the hospital, granparents, godparents. As soon as i'm home, i'm sure i will be flooded with friends.
5. How long do you plan on waiting to take baby out? don't they go to the pedi right away? but if you mean like out and about to the store and stuff? I have no idea. I have a dog, so the baby be outside almost right away, while i walk him. I'll just wear him.
6. Any random thoughts can be inserted here. what the heck do they do during an internal that makes you cramp and bleed?!?!? i thought they just "took a look!"
1. What will your first words to baby be? I have no idea, haven't really thought about it.
2. What will be your first post baby meal? Whatever the hospital is serving for the next meal, I guess. We don't have friends/family in the area to go get something and DH isn't going to want to leave.
3. What is your child care situation? I'll be staying home for a while, if I do decide to go to work I'll figure it out then....lol
4. How long do you plan on waiting to have visitors? If we do have local visitors it'll be DH's coworkers and families, we'll probably have them wait a week or two. My mom will be coming out 4-6 weeks after the birth and ILs might come for a Memorial day, but if not will be out in July.
5. How long do you plan on waiting to take baby out? We'll don't know yet. We'll know when we're ready to try that step I think.
6. Any random thoughts can be inserted here. I'm so scared to bring that baby home. We have no family in the area to be there to help out, and while I think it will be a great growing experience for DH and I, we're going to be on our own for the first 4-6 weeks, which is both exciting and terrifying.

4. How long do you plan on waiting to have visitors? I honestly don't want people to come see me in the hospital; however, I do think it may be inevitable. I want people to wait at least until I've been able to breastfeed her and DF and I have been able to bond a little as a family.
5. How long do you plan on waiting to take baby out? As soon as the pediatrician ok's it.
