can i sneak in this thread too? we will be having our second baby at home this time. last time was a rather traumatic hospital birth and DH and I decided to avoid all the nasty of the machines that go *ping* and stay at home! Our DD1 is very excited, and is currently LOVING reading 'hello baby'...man, i know that book off by heart now

so far we have had pretty good responses. a couple of friends have had bubs at home and the others have been supportive. luckily in our street we are all families and all of them have been amazing when we have chatted about it and have offered heaps of support and help with DD if we need it, which i reckon is lovely for the thoughts and 'village' feel IYKWIM.

Anyway, hope everyone is travelling AOK and i look forward to chatting with you and asking a MILLION questions as they come up lol!
