To try and make the family feel included in your wonder adventure. You could make up a list of things you will need help with.

Your relatives will feel like they are contributing and you can stay in control of your schedule.

People want to help so let them, make meals, clean, run errands, buy groceries.

Get a good pair of ear plugs and when you need to rest do it. You may want someone around the house to help you wife while you rest.

Be kind to yourself and do not get over do it. The last thing you need is a relapse and with a new baby overdoing it will be easy. Enlist these eager relatives to help.

Best wishes, I am very excited for you and will be praying for an easy transition to your new life.
