    Very exciting Bella! Let us know when you're officially booked

    She sounds fantastic Hoti! It'll be great to see her speak and build those connections.

    Yay to Artechim, Hot1 and Bella on making your decision!

    January is going to be an exciting HB month. We also wanted DD there, so that was a factor in our decision.

    AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME news HotI

    Wow Stoked, you are so close now! How exciting.

    That's great news Bella!

    Hi Artechim. Welcome

    Tegam - I have two Pisces kids, and this baby could very easily be another one.

    Hi to everyone else.

    I love thoughts like that! hehe....I brought myself a new toilet bag when i had DD1 and DD2....then i realised that i wouldnt get one for DS cause of his homebirth!!!

    Thanks for the welcome.

    So far DS and DD are chalk and cheese so it will be interesting to see what a third virgo adds to the mix. DD's birthday is on the 5th, DS is the 10th and this one is due on the 9th so hopefully we don't get any birthday double ups.

    HotI, glad you have decided on a HB. I am not sure what happened with your first birth but from some of the threads you have started since I figure it wasn't the best experience. I really hope you have a relaxed and healing birth this time round.

    haha! i was like this too! it is such an amazing feeling to realise time and time again that you dont need to think about that kind of stuff, that you can just revel in your own bliss at home

    WELCOME ARTE!!!! this is awesome news!! ahhh a home waterbirth is the best xx

    Stoked: Yipee! now it is all falling nicely into place! just time for some solid baking and then voila! baby!

    HotI: also, congrats on making the decision. it will be a beautiful, healing journey

    Bella: I am that you will get there and find the perfect midwife to bring your baby earthside

    Well now that you have an awesome carrier - I think bub can come now

    Hi to everyone - I've stayed away from the thread a bit cos I still feel weird for not having birthed at home! House birth just doesn't have the same ring to it really... but its lovely to see new faces coming in (makes me want to have another baby just for the birth!! LOL)
