Hmm a few of us moving in the next year or two.

Julesy - Congrats on twins!!! As for everyone having girls, that happened at 3RAR when Dh and I were first trying to have a baby - they had 12 girls born in a row! Then my DH and I had a boy and so did one other guy, and now we're adding another boy to the tally. We had a bigger chance of having boys because we take forever to get pregnant and have to use fertility treatments and apparently that increases the chance of boys. I hope you get a boy - they are super fun! I was a tiny bit disappointed we were having another one as this is our final baby so pink bits would have been nice but now I just love the idea.

What Units are all our boys at?
Mine is at ALTC in Albury Wodonga doing a Fitter Armament course. He used to be at 3RAR until we got married and he decided he wanted to be a bit more 'there' for us as a family. By doing the FA course he gets to play with guns still but a little less going away. Funnily enough theyre sending him back to 3RAR as a fitter Im glad though, he misses it a bit and I miss Sydney.

Speaking of, I am having a huge dilemma over whether to move to Sydney now instead of in May next year. I dont really like AW, even though I have met some awesome army wives that have become my very best friends, I just keep feeling like having bubs in Sydney would be more beneficial to me (I have numerous health issues during pregnancy that are worrying me) and I would have more support there than here. My DH tries but he is just so flat out with studying and all my family are in Sydney with lives of their own and cant drop everything to run down here everytime something goes wrong.

What would you guys as military wives do? It would mean being seperated from DH until May, we'd get to see him over chrissy holidays and at easter, I can always drive down and stay with friends here and see him, I know the Army will fly him up to see us on his breaks. Ive been struggling to make a decision for weeks and weeks, DH doesnt want me to go because he'll miss us but it just keeps playing on my mind.

Plus AW has broken us financially with HUGE utility and petrol bills being stuck out of town. If I moved to Sydney now I could get us back on track financially.

Sorry to heap this on you guys but I didnt know where else to ask - you guys have an idea of what my life is like so you can give appropriate advice.
