Em, I am glad all is well with bub- how scary. I hope you were able to salvage some kind of celebration for your b'day.

Bella, that is hilarious! Have you checked your MW's notes- was your neighbour right?!
I think I am pretty quiet- my mum was asleep in an adjoining room when DS2 was born; and the kids were in another adjoining room- and they slept through it too.
