I'm a FTM and my LO is due on November 4th. Since we'll have such a new little baby, my in-laws are letting us decide where to do our Thanksgiving gathering this year. We can either do dinner at my ILs house (about a 45-minute drive away from us) or we can have his family (5 people) come over to our house. Going there, we have the option on leaving whenever we're ready and not having to worry about all the duties that come with hosting. Staying here though, I'll be able to BF more comfortably in LO's nursery, let LO sleep in his own bassinet, and we won't have to worry about the drive.
Does anyone have any experience with little babies during the holidays or advice to offer?
Thanks!

Re: Holiday Plans
If IL's are willing to bring food, or you are willing to order the meal, and dh can take care of the house prep-then having it at your house will probably be easier than a drive. If they are the type that expect to be waited on-do NOT host lol.
We are going to my mom's, but they're 5 minutes away. And I have big kids who can do whatever she needs.
I was originally due November 6 th, and my family is 5 hours away. I told them from the start that we wouldn't be visiting, but my parents (only) could come visit us the Friday after thanksgiving. DS 2 came 4 weeks early, and my family now wants us to make the trip. I told them we will have to play it by ear and that we may not know until the week of.
