So this has got to be the best thread ever - why on earth have I not found it sooner!?!?!?!

Okay, I apologise 'cause this is going to be long, let's start at the beginning...

When #3 is only 15mths old I realise that although I am on the pill I am pg, again! DH is shall we say, less than impressed, we work out #3 will be nearly 2 when this one is born and decide to panic less, not such a bad gap after all.

Then the fun begins, ms (ALL DAY) for 12 weeks, lost 8kg, but not feeling good about that just feeling nauseous ALL the time. Had a scan and I think it's a girl based on heartrate and I confess I am disappointed, we have two older girls and one little boy and being mildly ocd I liked the idea of two and two.

I am not even half way but I have 'popped' and look so fat, ppl will be wondering if I am fat or pg and soon probably asking when I am due - I hate saying Dec and having ppl look at me and say "Oh I thought it'd be in a few weeks, are you sure it's not twins in there!" - happened that way with DD2

Aside from all the pg BS, in April (mth of conception) DH is having a melt down whilst we are on holiday, talking divorce and wanting to leave me with the kids and drive or rather fly home, how considerate of him to want to leave me the car?!?!?

Then we get home to find the house has been broken in to... Oh dear, this leads DH down his path of depression and he is soon needing 3 wks off work, one of which he doesn't get paid for! - OUCH! At least during this time DH works out that he is sorry for taking all his anxiety and sh*t out on me!

A week after we have returned home we realise the spare car key is missing after an attempted theft in the early am hours. I empty out the car all morning (cd's, dvd's, kids toys etc) then stop to get lunch ready for the family, I think I hear the car and run to the door with the little man in my arms just in time to see the car rolling out the drive with the door open and the door hitting the carport pillar and turning inside out! AHHH! I run to the car and realise it won't stop before rolling onto the road, I jump in whilst it's on the road and pull the hand brake, little man is screaming so I go get him, put him in his seat - luckily the keys were in my pocket from cleaning out the car so I start it and pull back into our drive, then get out DS and we go inside to call the police.

After all this the police say they know who did it, great right? BUT nothing happens, we are still out of pocket for the contents insurance excess and the car excess (which was heaps!) and the car insurance company refused to pay for the key locks! they okayed $7000 of repairs but wouldn't change the key locks, they basically said the key can't be taken out when the car is in reverse (I said they must've taken the key when they realised they were going to break the door and ran) but when I was proved right they still wouldn't pay! So the lease company paid for the key locks and we now have to support their claim to state the insurance company unlawfully denied a claim (the insurance broker said the insurance company could not support their refusal with any of their policy) incidentally the key locks they refused to pay for came to about $900, they were also told the suspect was not in custody and still in town. They were prepared to cover the vehicle if stolen with the key ie. risk $63k over a $900 job????

Meanwhile DH goes back to work, first day - the MOTHER (an EA @ school) of the teenager accused of breaking into our house and stealing our car walks into my hubby's classroom for something and DH notices her new bag - OUR BABYBAG!!! He is not in a good mood at lunchtime...

Needless to say DH has decided he will leave this town after this year which is the end of his contract, however he neglected to mention this to me and put in his preferences (last I heard he wanted to stay), we still can't afford to move back to the city (not until the car is paid off in 2 more years) but he put in all the country placements without discussing it!!!! And we already moved in 2009 with a 10 day old baby and spent 7 nights in a sh*tty pub room while the house was 'getting ready' - still a hole when we moved in - now I have to do it again!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Already I can't imagine how this birth is going to work, here's the problems,

I want a hb - I have had two cs and an easy vba2c
I can't get an IM up here
The hospital is 100km away, if I go too early I will get harrassed to have a cs, if I go too late DH might be catching bub in the red dirt on the side of the road as the 54m road trains go by!
We can't afford a rental in Perth and as yet a housesit hasn't come up (hoping to get an IM in Perth over the hols)
I really want my girls with me for this birth (it would mean so much to them) and I can't leave my little man, he is still a booby boy!

Even if we get an early uplift and move into a 'ready' house before Xmas (highly highly unlikely) if it's not Busselton where the south west IM's will attend or close to the city that won't help anyway???



So, I think that's all for now (really it should be!)

Thanks for a great thread
