My 3 year old is tucked up in bed snoozing, the home birth kit is in the living room, I've been having mild contractions every 15 ish mins all night. If dd wakes, I normally settle her within seconds (cuddle, kiss, night night) If dh tries to settle her she goes ape. I don't anticipate full blown labour tonight, but dh wants to phone his parents, who are 30 miles away, and have them on 'standby' to come and whisk dd out of her bed and 'take her away' if things ramp up. I have a neighbour available during the day tomorrow, so I'm pretty relaxed about that, the dd handover would take place out of my way so as not to disturb me, and when the new babe is in arms dh would collect dd as I want her to be the first to meet the new arrival. I do not want his over bearing parents bustling in with her while I'm lying with my baps out enjoying my post labour comedown. He thinks I'm being silly.
