Our families are pretty far away, mine's over 3 hours, his is ~12 hours. I know his mom is pretty anxious to get down here, but she's very graciously agreed to give us a few weeks to settle in (I really love my MIL, she's amazing!) and my mom will come down for the birth and stay the first night, maybe. The main reason she's coming down for the birth is so that someone will be able to let our puppies out! She won't really be in the room much, it'll mostly be just DH and I, but if DH wants to go grab a sandwich or something, she's going to come in and hang out.

I don't know when my dad and brother plan to come visit, but it'd be for no longer than an overnight.

We're planning a sip and see type of party, in my hometown, when LO is several weeks old (after MIL gets her grandbaby snuggle time in!) and that's when the rest of my family will meet LO.

Then, we're going to make a trip up for LO's baptism in DH's hometown when LO is about 2 months old.

I'm hoping, given the sip and see and baptism trip, that we really minimize visitors. With everyone being out of town, the expectation, if they came to visit, would be to stay with us, and neither of us want to host houseguests.

What is/was your game plan for visitors?
