I have a 2 yearold and he's never spent a night away from us so I'm worried. I also have no close family so I've made arrangements with a friend to watch him until family gets into town. It's going to be so hard to leave him.

My son is five and I was wondering the same thing too. I haven't mae any plans yet but I know my mom and step dad have no problem watching him. I just like being the one getting him ready for school and making sure he does his homework. I don't want to depend on anyone for that and they have him so spoiled. I can only imagine how this can go.

I'm gonna have my mom stay at my house with my 6 yr old starting 2 weeks or so before my due date because with my first I had him exactly 1 week early. I'm pretty sure either your parents or your in laws would love to watch your lil one. That's how my parents did it when I was 7 and my lil brother was about to be born but unfortunately I was home alone with my mom when she wet into labor lol

We had my in laws stay with us the week before my due date. They left the day after we got home. It was easier for my son to stay home but it was rough after the baby was here because the in laws spoil him SO bad.
