We recently moved to a bigger house in a new town. I'm 27 weeks pregnant with DC2 and we have a 3yo DS with additional needs, and we wanted to give him a bit more space. We're really happy with the choice we've made, even though it takes us further away from our family (who were already 3 hours drive away).
New house has a guest room, so I've made sure it's kitted out to accommodate family and friends. We've always travelled up to visit them pretty regularly, so I thought that maybe, just for this year while I'm pregnant they might come and see us. So I've invited them for weekends, Easter, half terms until my due date.
The problem is that none of our family, except my DSis, want to come and see us until the new baby arrives - when I'll be least able to host them. They're all making comments like 'oh make sure you book us in for June, so we can see the baby!'
I don't want them to stay over for 3/4 nights when I have a tiny baby! And what about my DS anyway, doesn't anyone want to see him?! AIBU to say I don't really want to host any overnight guests for the first couple of months? It's not like they'd help out with DS, they just want to sit and watch him play nicely without interacting too much.
