Moms: am I crazy to try this?
Matt and I would love to host Christmas day brunch at our house for his family (8 adults, 1 child- including us). At that point, I will be approx. 3 weeks from my EDD. Do you think I'd be too tired to do this or is it not that big a deal?
Thanks!
Re: Moms: am I crazy to try this?
i think its a more you know your body and self best....
i worked up until the day before i had the boys and that was motherday... one of if not the biggest holiday for florists and busted my ass... but i felt good i didnt push myself, kwim? but i have also been told im insane as i was back at work with vinny when he was 5 days old....
I agree with Kim. It completely depends on how you feel and what you think you can handle.
If I were you I would do it. I was feeling amazing 3 weeks out and didn't let anything slow me down.
The only thing about planning something like that is you never know if you'll have the baby early. A lot of people go 3-4 weeks early but besides that you most likely would be fine. I felt GREAT right up until the end and stayed out unitl 2am at a wedding on my due date.
I think you'll be fine. You'll have most of the stuff done ahead of time, and people will probably be willing to bring something, so you shouldn't be too crazy.
However, I planned a surprise 30th for DH 3 weeks before my due date (due date was 10/19, party was 10/1), and I had the baby 9/29!! I was SO glad I didn't rent a hall for the party! I came home on 10/1 and we still had people over for cake!
