Thanks for all the welcomes everyone.
madrigals It does sound quite similar. I would love to hire a birthing pool and did think about it. I wanted a pool birth with DD1 and the midwife started running the pool but there was no time to get into it. I have decided to not hire a pool. It's not cheap and I think I will just concentrate on trying to get the girls out of the house and get a professional with me. Running a birthing pool will just be an added complication. I can always get in the bath 
I have actually done a fair amount this week with regards to baby prep. All clothes washed and put away, moses basket in place with new mattress, car seat cleaned, slings washed and ready, swing cover washed, isofix base ready to go, bassinet for pushchair sorted. The only thing I don't have is a double buggy but my best friend is kindly lending me hers which she will bring when she comes to visit once baby is here.
But as for the state of the house. Well the baby will move into DD2's room once it has been in our room for 6 months but the room she is moving into currently has no plaster board, no carpet and no door. I really wanted it sorted soon as although it won't be used for a while I didn't want it in quite a state. The spare room which I was planning on using as a day room for the baby is an absolute state. Half decorated and boxes everywhere. We moved in here a month before I found out i was pregnant and there is a lot to do. Having a huge extension done next year which will be fun with a small baby. Ah well.
Just seen there is a stats list. Will add myself to there and familiarise myself with you all.
