What are your adjustment periods looking like?
I'm 30w4d due in late October; I discussed adjusting life with a newborn with my husband. He is fully supportive and we have been talking to both sides of the family for visits. I have told everyone that we would like to see what adjustments we need and ask that the first visits start in January 2027.
Everyone but us seems to keep asking if we're really sure and if we can handle that. This is our first child so I'm a little anxious and confused why everyone keeps insisting that they should visit earlier or live with us for a couple of weeks.
We have promised to be honest if we are overwhelmed but we're excited, baby proofing the home, practicing meal prep, and looking for what is hard for us to do on schedule and changing/adjusting it to have a system where we wouldnt be overwhelmed.
We do welcome the help but we want time as a new family to adjust. Are we being too confident or what? How are your adjustment plans going?
