Okay, I dont want people over when suni gets home, its a big risk and its flu/cold/everything season. How do I say no, without offending anyone?

Just say no.........

You are her mother you dont have to explain anything to anyone..
But if you do just tell them for medical reasons that no one can be around her right now. That is what I did

I totally understand you hil...My mom was telling everyone to come stay with us after my baby is born, and I was like...Uh, when I get home, me and luis want to be alone with her, it is our first baby, and I doubt like im gunna feel like entertaining someone. I agree with tazzy, just say no. They dont need an explination.

I think if they care enough to want to come visit you and your baby they'll also understand if you tell them that for medical reasons she's really not ready for visitors yet. If they get mad or upset it's their problem. You're her mom and you're the one who decides when she's ready and when people come over. Maybe you could say something like "i can't wait for you to meet her and see her, but i've talked with the doctors and they said she shouldn't be exposed to visitors or other people for a while, especially with it being cold and flu season and all." anyone who gets mad or thinks that's rude is someone who cares more about their own stuff than about you and your new baby. Good luck.
