Geez, I hope I give birth on a Friday night! LOL My DF can't have time off work as we have our own business and he needs to be there 8-6 Mon-Fri!! He will have weekends with me. I'm feeling anxious and nervous about it all as I wonder "what if i need help and I'm home alone?" but I know if i REALLY needed him, he would come home and help out. It would be lovely for him to have a few days off with me to get settled into a routine but i don't think that will happen for us....

BUT in saying all that, I think that the sooner you get stuck into it all, the sooner you will get into a routine (I hope anyway!!)... I would find lots of family and friends staying all the time to be annoying.. I like my independence and personal space like karina said!
