I realized I didn't mention what I'm doing regarding family in room / waiting room etc. We are calling my parents once I'm in active labor to come on down. They are 5 hours away and will be flying probably not until the next day. They will arrive hopefully either right around when I'm to be released or soon there after. I'm hoping to get out in less than 48 hours but realize this probably won't be allowed. Have I mentioned how much I hate hospitals?
Everyone else will get a call or an email once we feel ready to do so. My priority in those first 24-48 hours after birth are to get back into my cf routine as much as possible, recover and bond with my new baby and love and be doted on by my husband. I also want to utilize all the resources of the hospital while I'm there...lactation consultants, etc. and for my support base to be there for me more for when I return home. I don't really want a lot of visitors poking at my baby before I'm well enough to set the ground rules (no touching his hands or kissing his face are my two biggies and must wash hands before holding).
