Baby is due in Feb 2010
Yeah am pregnant 
and am due on Feb 2010. Past couple of weeks have been so so mentally disturbing because of an unplanned baby to be had or not. Hubby is out of work from past 7 months and I haven't started work ever since Nick was born. Situation is tough financially with a new house, the loan, daily expenditures, unaffordable day cares/ child minders and no friends/ relatives to help either. After a lot of tears and decision making we just thought of going with the flow and have the baby. After all a recession can't kill my baby. Two years between the kids would be advantages as well. I can use the existing baby stuff for the new baby. Moreover Nick will have a friend to play with (fingers crossed that they wont fight over petty things)
Its going to be tough for husband who may have to work across the borders to keep the family going on while me looks after a baby and a pint size explorer toddler. The benefits and credits may help a bit.. but for how long
Hopefully the economy improves and things will get better.
Have lots of excitement to hold a new baby in my hands sooner or later... Honestly feels nice to be pregnant again... but feeling quite exhausted already and sleep like a log in the afternoons. . Spoke to the docs as well who did say that I would be offered a c-section the second time around as my first labour was quite a nightmare. Thanks a lot for your wishes and I'll keep you all lovely ladies updated.
