Hi @CheerBear @Teej
I have accepted the mother's stipulation of 2 weeks before I visit. Mostly supporting son and enjoying his experience, growth and sharing. Bub is doing well and there were no problems with the home birth. There are 3 and half adults fulltime fussing around the bub son is 2 days on 2 days off. So a very well cared for little one. All sounds good. When the mum's mum goes, (she lives overseas) I hope to be more involved, but mostly aim for a peaceful convivial family around him rather than pushing self in. Trying not to sweat small stuff.
Looking forward to cuddles.
its been so long since I held a tiny one.
