Definitely helped that she's a good sleeper, so it was only H who kept us up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2154028 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:56:41 +0000 wonderstruck 2154028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we picked DS1 up from my parent's house on the way home from the hospital - we wanted baby's first time home to be a bonding thing with all of us there.</p> <p>I should add that were definitely sleepovers in those first few months! Just not the first night home, when DH went back to work was when I really needed the extra help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2154021 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:54:42 +0000 MrsRcCar 2154021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live with my folks presently so no where for N to go. He was here when we came home with E. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2154006 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:48:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2154006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! She stayed home. </p> <p>She was ready for some routine again after us being gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2154004 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:47:22 +0000 autumnlove 2154004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She stayed with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2154000 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:46:03 +0000 mrskc 2154000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, but we got home around noon and my mom brought him home later that evening. Gave DH and I a chance to clean up a bit, take showers &amp; nap. I missed him too much to let him stay another night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153996 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:44:49 +0000 edelweiss 2153996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i could see how having LO #1 spend a night or two with the grandparents would be really helpful, but i would worry about LO #1 feeling like LO #2 was throwing things off even more. still, it's not a bad idea for some! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153984 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:39:42 +0000 yellowbird 2153984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but MiL stayed with us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153960 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:31:56 +0000 lamariniere 2153960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was home with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153958 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:31:07 +0000 Mamaof2 2153958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: Just wanted to add that when we brought #2 home from the hospital we went home as a family.</p> <p>DH brought DS and we have pics of the 4 of us getting in the car and heading home. I wanted to include DS so he didn't feel like baby sister was taking over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153947 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:27:41 +0000 pinkb 2153947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope she stayed with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153898 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:06:53 +0000 Weagle 2153898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents were at our house, so she was home. Our family lives 16 hours away, so it wasn't possible for her to go to them. She was already in bed at the time we got home from the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153874 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:56:26 +0000 blackbird 2153874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E will probably still be at grandma's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153857 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:52:05 +0000 Mamaof2 2153857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom stayed at our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-night-home-with-second-baby#post-2153851 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 09:50:40 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2153851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have an older LO did you have them stay with family the first night you were home from the hospital with the newborn?</p> <p>A friend of mine just had a new baby and for the first night home their 3yo stayed with his grandparents. It sounds kind of nice but I am worried I would miss my LO too much?! </p>
