Willow - I asked JP about having DS in the labour suite.. he said it's fine, but he insists on an assigned carer just for him. He's been burnt before, where the kids carrying on and screaming, but the "carer" insisted on staying for the birth for their own benefit.. not taking into consideration how it was affecting the mother, they weren't there supporting the mum. So I need to think about who I would have as a dedicated carer just for DS, and who wouldnt' mind missing out on the actual birth if it turns out that way.

As for preparing DS - I got my hands on a couple of books, but I think they're a bit too old for him hehe. Oh well.. can't hurt to read them to him anyway
