    Ash & Loulabelle : hope all is going well. And all the best for your upcoming births.

    Jen: would love to see the pics too.

    I have a video on YouTube but can only be watched if I add your email address. As I want to limit who sees it.

    Yes, HB is unfortunately expensive if you use an IM. Don't give up, hun, maybe contact a few and ask them their fees, etc. Prenatal and post natal visits may be covered by Medicare if your IM is registered with them (many are). That might not reduce the cost enough, but worth asking.

    Thanks girls. It comes as a shock partially that I might want another, but I can guarantee it won't be for a while anyway, so plenty of time to see if I or DP changes our minds.

    I'm trying to add everyone to my list and then I'll get around to uploading more of my photos. Sending my video footage to my sister this week so that she can edit it to something easily viewable. I'm not sure how I'll share it, but I will let you know.

    I was surprised Jen cos my other births cost $1500 for Eden and $2000 for Sahti - so to jump up $3000 - woooweee!!

    Don't lose hope for your partner either - DH only wanted 3!!! LOL He probably still only wanted 3, but my happiness meant more to him than what essentially he wouldn't be having much to do with anyway (ie, pregnancy, birthing, feeding etc - he's a hands on dad, so don't think otherwise..LOL)
