Hi all,
I'm expecting my first DS any day now (two days over due date), and recently a lot of family and close friends have been telling me they'll be coming round/travelling up to the area to see him when we come back from hospital. They'll most likely be staying with my parents and we'll end up going to see them there.
This is absolutly fine as its not like they're just randomers who are appearing out of the blue to fuss over a baby, they are people who genuinly will be playing a part in his life.
The only problem I have is that myself and DP live in a bedsit (think one room with bathroom and kitchenette off it). We're on the list for somewhere bigger (thats a story for another day) but it looks like its not going to happen for at least another month or two.
So my question is would it be Unreasonable to get people to ring before they come over; partly incase were not in or at my parents seeing my half of the family if they use that as a base, and partly because I had images last night of everyone turning up at once and theres no room for that. (With the furniture you can fit maybe five people in the main room). If so, how would I go about saying it without coming across as demanding or rude? I was going to put a nice note or something on facebook but not sure how to phrase it without seeiming precious?
I knew a couple who when they had their first DD got people to make appointments to see the baby I'm not fussed with that idea personally, though each to their own lol. So any ideas off you lovely Mnetters would be appriciated!
Thank you xx
