Oh MG, you're such a bloody gem. You know it's not in my nature to say, "that's great, I'll see you at x time," because I have to think about it 100 different ways first. Let me have a chat with DP - I still think it might be easiest to get DD sorted with a nanny/babysitter because at the end of the day she WILL be fine and it's only for one night. I am currently scheduled for a Tuesday but that could change depending on if they want DD2 out earlier because of my GD. My tummy is the size of a small elephant at the moment

I really, really appreciate all that info and your very kind offer.
