Thanks, Wantbaby2! It is exciting to hit the 12-week mark. OMG, I can't believe you have so many pairs of twins in your family! Did you only transfer one embie because of family history?
It's so unfair about the new rule changes, because my DH and I don't qualify for any govt assistance. We would have got two baby bonuses but now that Rudd has means tested it we get nothing. The stupid thing is, my salary is only normal but DH's is higher but he's paying out heaps of CSA so really we're struggling. Plus being at home for 12 weeks has really dipped into my leave, and it seems from week 25 my FS wants me to stop work again! Plus we've now got this huge mortgage with a new house. I hate stressing about money, so totally hear where you're coming from. And you're right: we've wanted to fall for ages and tried so much, but wouldn't it be nice to not have to worry about money on top of all else? I'm pretty good at saving, too; Coles brands it is from now on with online shopping. My DH not so good. But we'll get there, hey? I imagine once your DH finishes his 4th year, he will be able to claim a lot more as he will be fully qualified?
