Deb, when I had Joel my room was full of presents and gifts. I guess everyone wanted to see the "baby" with the baby. By the time I had Brandon most of Shane's (ex) family didn't even bother coming in, and some of mine didn't either.

Noah, our (mark and I) first baby, but even then only his immediate family came to visit. My family and friends all came again. Again it was different with Tehya, not sure it was becasue she was born at home and we had no hospital time. Thankfully we didn't have a sudden influx of people all at once, rahter gradually over the first week or so.

My family were very happy when I announced my 2nd, 3rd and 4th pregnancies. Especially my last one

DP's family weren't so happy, but tough bikkies to them.

As long as you and your hubby's are happy, who cares what others think. It's their loss. Who can resist a gorgeous newly born baby. I know I can't.
