After MONTHS and MONTHS of discussing it (we started right when we decided to have another baby) we have finally come to a decision surrounding Erik's birth. We didn't make the decision on a whim but a lot of thought and time went into making our decision.
We have decided that when Erik is born it will just be Mike and I in the room. We will have no visitors (except Kristoffer of course) at the hospital or at home until Erik is at least a week old. Nothing will be posted about his birth or pics until after then. We want to focus on becoming a family of four and transitioning Kristoffer from only child to a big brother. Also let him get to know his little brother before everyone comes to gawk at Erik. I want Kristoffer to feel like a priority still when his brother comes. We were pretty open about Kristoffer's birth, hospital visits and after we came home so we are taking it down a couple notches.
As Erik's due date approaches I will probably be posting less to focus my last few weeks of being a mom to one child and making sure everything is ready for Erik to come home. I will not confirm nor deny his birth until I am ready to announce. I hope everyone can respect and accept our decision. I know some feelings will be or are hurt by our decision but we need to focus on what's best for our family and we feel this way is it. If somehow you do find out Erik is born please respect our decision and not say anything.
