I'm hoping baby boy stays put until 12/15. Otherwise I'm screwed.
If he's a good boy and arrives when he's supposed to, my big sister will stay with lo.

My parents are coming a few days before my due date. If she comes before they arrive, we have given my BIL/SIL and a few friends the heads up that DD might have to stay with them.

I cannot believe you are so close!!!
I scheduled my parents to come up 2 weeks before my induction date. I even scheduled my MIL to come up the weekend before my induction date too. Everyone was in place a week before I was scheduled to be induced. I was almost 3 cm all week and having BH like crazy!
Of course LMW ended up being super stubborn and staying in there until my induction date. Then it was eviction time.

She will be staying with my parents. The other day I mentioned to DH - wont it be a little sad and weird when were at the hospital with the new baby and DD will be away from us all night and most of the time during the day except when she comes to visit. DH said what do you mean!? He was really flabbergasted and said he thought she would just stay with us while we were there!
-
My parents were with DS the whole time we were at the hospital. They visited quite a bit, though. I'm hoping your LO arrives on time!!

My cousin watched my three boys while I had my daughter so my parents could be at the hospital. Then my parents watched them for the other two days we were in the hospital. My husband also went home for the night so he was there for bedtime and them getting up
-
My mom arrived a week before DD was born to watch my son. If DD came before, we would have asked our sitter at the time.

Not pregnant with #2 (still cooking #1) but my sister in law lives a few blocks from our hospital and we will be dropping our pup off with her on our way. I imagine down the road when Baby2 arrives it will be the same.
(just compared my dog to a baby - sorry about that) -
My mother, MIL, SIL and during the day the nanny came. He was sooooooo spoiled!
-
I'm really lucky, my IL's and my BFF SIL all live within a half an hour of us. Not pregnant, but if we do have a second one of them will keep DS.
-
I don't know!!!! My parents and brother will be vacation and my in laws both work 7 days a week. Not sure if I want to ask my BIL to watch her...he will have a newborn!
-
our babysitter stayed with charlie overnight when i unexpectedly went into labor early. my mom got on a redeye and was in ny the next morning and then she stayed with charlie.
-
My brother and FSIL were babysitting DD when I went into labor, so they just stayed at my house overnight. If they hadn't been, we would have called my mom, even though she had told us that we would need to get a babysitter.
-
We don't have any family nearby, so our best friend's stayed with DD while I was in labor with DS. Except DH went home to put her to bed. My parents arrived in town around midnight, and then my mom stayed with her until we got out of the hospital a few days later.

@oliviaoblivia: I'm about to do that too.
I'm pregnant with #1, but we're already thinking about what to do with the puppy when it's baby time. We have a friend who has done some dog-sitting for us before, but we've only asked her to do weekends. During the week, we'll probably figure out a way to get him boarded at day care, but...depending on time of day and frazzled-ness, I haven't quite worked the whole thing out in my head yet. Neither of us has local family, and we're not having them come until after the baby arrives (possibly several days after, but that's a topic for another thread), so...puppy care is still up in the air. Admittedly not another child, but...still important!

I'm not even TTC yet but we've already talked about this. We have a pup and we had enough trouble finding him a home when we were in the hospital with LO. He has separation anxiety so he can't be left alone in someone else's house for fear that he'll eat things. Next time we'll have to worry about him and LO.
Luckily I have both sets of grandparents here, and my brother and SIL. I know that the grandparents will want to be at the hospital and my brother and sister in law have a baby of their own to worry about, but I'm sure with all of those people we'll figure something out.
