My mum came to see me about 45 mins or so after James was born, but she was the only family around at the time. I was quite happy to have her there but this is something that Chris and I haven't discussed. I'm fairly certain I'll be absolutely shagged after the birth - if it all goes to plan and Ramlet is birthed vaginally.

I suppose immediate family, like parents and siblings would be fine for me (thankfully we both have small immediate families). My mum will be in town and I have one sister in Brisbane, the other is in Sydney. Chris's parents live here too and his brother doesn't live in Brisbane. I guess having them there almost immediately after the birth (depending on the time of day) will probably be ok, but I'll request that perhaps they only stay for about 30 mins or so.

He should be home soon, so there's something else to talk about!
