Tildy - it sounds like the economic crisis has hit you very hard. I can't believe they can make your DH take a 10% paycut - but I suppose that is better than retrenchment. Will you get a redundancy package if you lose your job? We also have shares but thankfully the bulk of our savings is in the bank as we are saving for a home deposit. I haven't bothered to look at what our shares are doing as I know it will be bad. This is the last thing you need what with all that has already happened to you in the last 12 months.

Rozzie - look at your ticker! 16 weeks how exciting.

Thanks all for your support with my carseat story. I have shed so many tears this week, what with the carseat and then the remembrance day for all lost angels. I am feeling much better now and I had the carseat fitted without even a thought of crying. In fact when I read Sue's post I thought 'Oh yeah, I thought I might find it hard'. I had seriously forgotten about it. So that must be a good sign. Thank you for being so supportive of me, when you are all going through such emotional times yourself, what with grieving for your angels coupled with the stress of TTC and early pregnancy. It means so much to me to still be able to come here and support and be supported.

I saw my Ob yesterday and he said the baby is now fully engaged. He asked if I have packed my bag and I had to admit I hadn't. He told me that I should do it, so I am washing the final things and getting it all ready. I have no idea what to pack for me. It still seems kind of surreal.

I hope you all have lovely weekends planned. Take care
