INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Chances are that you are just as excited to have your loved ones meet your new baby as they are. But unexpected complications can arise during labor and after that may make welcoming visitors more difficult. Taking some time to consider whom you’d like to visit and how to deal with potentially difficult situations can help prevent awkward encounters after you give birth.  Make a list of people whom you’d like as visitors and those who can wait a bit. For example, you may only want your parents or siblings to visit in the first few weeks. You may also feel comfortable inviting other friends or even colleagues to visit you in the hospital or at home. Develop a couple of different contingencies for visitors that don’t put stress on you or them. Ask yourself questions such as, “What do I do if there are complications?,” “What if I don’t feel like visitors after giving birth?,” or, “Is this person going to cause me stress?” It’s called labor for a reason: delivering a baby is hard work! You may be too tired or sore to deal with a big group of people joining you after you give birth. Having a loose and flexible schedule of visitors can give you a chance to breathe after the delivery and even enjoy people’s company—and help!—after the initial excitement of the new baby dies down.  Spread out your guests as much as possible. The key is to make visits as stress-free as possible and it’s generally easier to handle 1-2 people than a group.  Make a schedule of potential visits. You probably want the people closest to you to see you and your new baby first. Put them on your schedule either on your delivery day or a day or two afterward. Then spread out visits every couple of days to let yourself rest and deal with potential complications. After you’ve had a chance to figure out how you want to structure possible visits after you give birth, you’ll need to express your wishes to others. This sounds easy in theory, but it can be difficult, especially if it’s someone you love. Letting people know about your wishes for visitors in advance can minimize awkward post-birth encounters and may ease stress once you’re baby arrives.  Use conversations about the baby as a way to inform people of your wishes. For example, “Aw, Christopher and I really excited to have you meet the baby, too. Since this is our first, we’re going to wait a few days to see people so we can settle into our new life. I’ll text you as soon as we’re ready to see you.” You might also say, “We decided to do a home birth and are excited to have people see us and meet the baby. I’ll let you know when Sara goes into labor and feel free to stop by whenever you like.” Be honest with people, knowing that most will understand and respect your wishes. For example, “Mom, this has been a really difficult pregnancy and I’m really worried about this baby’s health. I think it’s easiest if I let you know when it’s born and then figure out the best time to visit from there.” Most people are exhausted when they have a new baby. Many will even forgo proper nutrition with fast food or delivery services to get a few extra moments rest. Instead of worrying about expensive takeout, ask a friend or family member to set up a meal train for you. A meal train will allow you to get a delicious and nutritious meal while someone gets to meet and hold your new baby. Use a website such as Take Them a Meal or Meal Train to set up your meal train. This gives you a chance to organize when people come over and visit with your baby. It can also ensure you get food you like and prevent unexpected knocks at the door.

SUMMARY: Explore your feelings about visitors. Reduce stress with scheduled visits. Talk to potential visitors about your wishes. Set up a meal train for post-birth.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This design is similar to front-to-back cornrows, but it's turned on its side. Create 3 even parts horizontally, beginning at one ear, rather than vertically. Clip all but 1 section out of the way. Begin each braid at the side near your ear, and French braid each row by adding new hair from the row with each stitch.  All of your braids should be braided to one side. Bring your braids either to your left or your right, whichever is your preference. These braids will end at various places on the other side of your head. Secure them with elastic hair bands just as you would regular cornrows. For a little twist on traditional cornrows, part your hair starting in the front near your forehead, but instead of going straight back, curve the line to 1 side of your head and then back again toward the other side. Create 4 more parallel parts so that you have 5 total rows that appear to swirl from the front over and around to the back in uniform curved lines. Then create curved cornrow braids within the parts. End the curved sections of hair at the nape of your neck on the opposite side from where you first headed when you curved the lines. When you're finished with each braid, you can join the braids together in a low side-ponytail if you like. If you have long hair and like to wear it in a high ponytail, try braiding your cornrows only to the beginning of where you start your ponytail. Create parts around the perimeter of your hairline and braid them back. Stop each cornrow at the point where you place your ponytail in the back center of your head, instead of at the nape of your neck.  Feel free to braid the rest of each row, rather than cornrow it, so that your ponytail consists of braids. This style also looks good with different sized cornrows, so you can make it easier on yourself by simply creating and braiding rows 1 at a time. Create parts in zig-zags by starting at the front by your forehead and going back and forth in 2 in (5.1 cm) lines all the way to the nape of your neck. Then braid your cornrows straight back as you normally would, simply using the hair sectioned off within the zig-zags. You can combine this parting style with other techniques such as the side-swept cornrows, or keep it simple by doing only 1 or 2 zig-zag parts while the rest of your parts are straight.
Summary: Try side-swept cornrows for an elegant look. Go with swirl cornrows to try something unique. Braid long cornrows into a high ponytail. Try cornrows with zig-zag parts for something totally different.
