Ok, had a chat with Shel last night again.

We decided our best call is to firstly write a letter/notice kind of letting people know what we need to support us in the times leading up to, during and after the birth, so they all know. I'm going to include NOT calling each day near the due date to see if I am in labour, or continually asking when I am due, and also that I don't know how I'll feel after the birth, if I'llw ant visitors straight away or if we'll just want time to cuddle our precious little girl, so we'll call as soon as we would like visitors.
And secondly in that letter will be an invitation to have a 'waiting party' at our place when we are in hospital, as we'll need someone to make sure the cats don't run out of foord or water and all that (AND I think the party should involve cleaning and cooking some meals to freeze ).

Might hand them out at the baby shower!

What do you reckon?
