Have you tried physio for the sciatic pain at all? I've heard from others that it can be a big help. Either way, I hope you get some rest, and that baby doesn't make you wait too much longer! (Well, until your DH is home, maybe, I guess. ) Having someone take pics after is a great idea. Those are such special memories, and it can be easy to miss the moment with the camera, because you're busy with everything else.
