Today our little family finally went to the hospital to register to give birth (basically you give the hospital your information so when the baby is trying to push it's way out of your junk you don't have to fill out paperwork.)
As we were enjoying the surprisingly yummy cafeteria food we decided to hash out the Do's and Don'ts of baby visiting.
We are targeting anyone who wishes to visit those first, let's say 2-4 weeks postbirth. This includes family and friends and most definitely acquaintances or nonfriends. Actually nonfriends can just stay away! Though I can't think of any names off the top of my head. (That's a good sign, eh?)

1. Unless you've contacted us via call, text, facebook message, letter, etc AND received a response, you should stop and do so before visiting. Common courtesy people!
2. If I give birth at night- no visitors until the next morning. We will all be tired and yucky and I know you want to see Norah but seriously it's not happening.
If I give birth in the day- Spencer or I (most likely Spencer) will text you (family) when we are ready for visitors. It will probably be 1-2 hours post birth. Again, be patient. Last time I had some minor issues and those will need to be situated before I want visitors barging in.
3. The hospital rooms are nice but I don't want everyone and their mother in the room at once. So unless we have told you specifically we would like you to visit the hospital to see us, please don't. This will most likely be only family and extremely close friends.
4. At our apartment we will set up visiting hours. (yes I'm serious.) Right now I'm thinking 3-5 pm on any given day. You might get to stay longer if you bring food or do some chores. Yes this is bribery and I'm okay with that. :)
5. Please be happy and upbeat if you visit. We will be stressed enough as it is and we need the positive jujus headed our way.
Well so far, that is it. If you have issues with these please talk to us. This is an exciting time but also a scary and busy time for Spencer and I.
We love you and we can't wait to meet Miss Norah.
PS We've started a baby registry. I believe there will be a shower- just not sure of the details yet! If you want to see what we have so far, go to the link below! We will be adding more later. Just search "Claire Nelson" in the serach bar at the top of the page. The password is norahrose.
