    Deb, as mentioned above I am also considering having DD there when Bubble is born. I actually discussed it with a girlfriend last week and she really surprised me by being totally supportive and offered to come with us to the hospital to be DDs carer! DD adores her so it would be perfect really. DD was going to go to MIL but for many reasons, I don't want MIL present for the birth so this was the trickiest part. Only problem is my girlfriend might be away on holidays at the time of the birth, particularly if I go over my EDD again, which I'm expecting to. So we really will have to play it by ear but having her support makes things a lot easier!

    Any experiences with dragging a nearly 2 yr old out of bed tho if it happens in the middle of the night? Last thing I'd want is a cranky toddler on our hands! hehe.
    - this is also one of my biggest concerns.

    Deb, were any of your babies born in the middle of the night?

    Kelly, there is NO way that our DD would sleep in her pram so I'm not sure what we would do.

    Liz - sorry to hijack your thread!! Have you discussed this with JP? I might bring it up with him on Monday.
