Newborn and events

I’m scheduled to have a C section on July 31st. This will be my second child and I feel like I’m going to have to go with the flow of things (son will be turning 3 a couple weeks after baby is born). With that being said, there are several events coming up that I can’t miss. My sister’s wedding on Sept 5, her bridal shower a couple weeks before, and my son’s birthday the week before. For my son’s birthday and sister’s bridal shower, we decided to host. That way, we can have the baby at home and it’s more comfortable for me. The wedding will be 1.5 hours away and we’d have to stay at a hotel. I think it’ll be okay because I have family to help me but I’m just really worried it’s going to be chaotic. And I’m also worried about exposing a newborn to illnesses. We won’t have anyone other than me, my husband and our parents interact with the baby. But I just am curious to see if anyone had similar experiences.
