Meow, your home birth sounds great! Must have been a relief when your DS coped so well.

Tegam, thanks. It is hard to prioritize the new baby in the order of things atm when the kids that are here take up so much time. I think it will be easier when but is physically here and we can get on with sorting out some sort of new order.

I had a talk with DH and we think that we will be alright with the kids - if they can't be resettled then DH will just watch telly with them calmly so there won't be any screaming. I just want to be left alone during labour so he only needs to make it in for the last 10 minutes anyway.
