I've been worried about car deliveries too - my first was born within 20 minutes of getting to the hospital, and I only lived 5 minutes away. So I have been super sensitive to timing. I now live ~45 minutes in light traffic from my hospital.
charl - what a 'fun' appointment. good luck on the gtt!!
We have to figure out where all the kids are going. We live in a california split - entrance, living room, dining room, kitchen are all on street level, half a flight up are 3 bedrooms and the main bathroom, half a flight down is a family room with a computer nook, another bedroom, and the laundry room w/ bathroom, half a flight down from there (so under the street level) is a basement rec room, a large store room, and a smaller pantry/deep freezer store room.
Currently hubby and I are in the big master that has a small bath attached upstairs, DD1 and DD2 are in the room across from us, and the room next to them is the nursery. DS1 doesn't really sleep in there yet though - he was in his bassinet for a long time, and then just got used to sleeping in the pack and play and never was interested in the crib so we didnt bother. We have a toddler bed for him, and I'm debating setting it up in the girls' room (plenty of room), or seeing if he can share with #4. We could also move our oldest downstairs but she is only 6, and currently shares a full size bed with her lil sister. They get too lonely at night otherwise! Either way, the nursery is a disaster zone right now - toys everywhere, boxes, various sizes of baby clothes piled up... parts of the toddler bed propped in a corner. We *just* finished the rec room in the basement so it can be a playroom, so that is filling up with the kids' clutter too.
And we are refinishing the floors in the guest room downstairs - hubby pulling up carpet and laying down laminate. That room had been my 'craft room', although it really just seemed to be my staging area for non-crafting projects, like reorganizing my store room, getting out decorations, putting decorations away, storing clothes to sort for storage, storing toys to sort for storage, storing scrapbooking items (never have actually done anything with it), and stuff like that. And I gotta get hubby to finish the trim around the house. Really tired of it!
charl - a4tg's advice sounds spot on to me! and whitesox, it really does stink when friends kind of disappear like that, even if the reasoning can make some sense. Can't believe she'd give up after 1 month of chlomid though!
-...My best friend from school has no children (and tbh we all presumed she was so career orientated that it was not an issue). She married 7 years ago and even before the wedding, she started saying that they were planning a baby soon -had names picked out and everything, but it has never happened for them 
- When I fell pregnant with number 4, 3 years ago she never spoke to me for over 2 years :'( We live far apart and don't speak that often now anyway, but there was always emails, fbook messages , xmas cards and birthday cards etc -and I heard nothing - not even a congratulations on baby being born.
but they may only do that if there is reason to do so. like if my 12 week scan and blood work is high risk. they should be scheduling that with me when they call. when we asked her about the possibility of laboring very quickly again she said we could always call an ambulance to take us to the hospital that's across town or she could plan an induction about a week early. looking at my past she said she might ask if we can schedule a little early to make sure I make it. I didn't really want to be induced, but I need to think about it. the only 2 times I was induced was for necessary reasons. one was over due and the other had complications. of course I would not like to birth in the back of a vehicle or ambulance either so inductions would ensure I make it to the hospital and would also ensure I can get an epidural so I actually enjoy the birth. something to think about for sure
