We start intros a week tomorrow (yayyyyyyy!!!).
I have two dilemmas rolling round my head.
Firstly what did you do when you met your child for the first time? Did you just sit down close by, sit next to them etc. Lo isn't yet mobile so won't approach us and I worried about standing there like an idiot whilst the social workers watch on.
Secondly, introducing lo to family.
It is my sons birthday around 2 weeks after lo arrived so decided that weekend is a good one to introduce her to her grandparents. My parents will happily come to us but my in-laws don't really like coming to ours and will expect us to go to them. I personally feel that her first meeting with strangers should be somewhere familiar and so want to put my foot down and say all visits are in my home. Would you agree or am I being precious?
Many thanks for your input!
