Crossing my fingers for you and saying a little spell to the weather gods. I hope the sun comes out for us all this Xmas!
I know exactly what a handful 29 kids can be - my mum's a teacher and her stress levels always go up with more kids, it's inevitable. It will be tough for you, but I'm sure you can do it!

Stinkbomb - We all have things that are stressful, and I won't apologize for that. Unexpectly BOTH my company and my husband's company announced 10-20% staffing reductions in January. It IS really stressful thinking that we are going to have a baby and one or both of us could lose our jobs (and therefore our FMLA benefits). That doesn't mean we're not really excited about the baby though!

I'm so sorry so much is so stressful right now...

I'm so sorry so much is so stressful right now :( It's so hard to be patient when you want something so badly, but I'm so hopeful and optimistic for you that things will work out! Thinking of you.

SO exciting about the house - know the pain of a possible delay in pci - we had exactly that, the delay ended up being nearly 3 freakin months - i was NOT happy!! i hope you get to do yours before chrissie!

glad you've got a class for next year, that must be a worry off your mind and will keep my fingers crossed for your colleague :-)

re the ttc - i hear you, you know i hear you, 10+ years later, i know what it's like to wait! tia a HUGE congratulations - but seriously a month?!? you got knocked up the first month you tried - please don't complain about "the stress of having a baby" when there are people who would swap places with you in a heartbeat.

That is a lot going on :( But new houses are so exciting! Although I'm 6 weeks pregnant and we only tried for a month, for us there is SO MUCH STRESS associated with "oh man, we're having a baby!" We didn't spend a long time trying, so we didn't spend a long time thinking about what it would mean to have a baby. Yes, we're excited, but it is stressful!

Oh goodness, I'm so sorry! I really really hop...

Oh goodness, I'm so sorry! I really really hope that the weather clears and you and J can get into the house sooner rather than later. It will at least fill your mind up with all sorts of new housey things and hopefully keep you a bit distracted for a month or two on the baby front.

Lots of love,

I hear you on the baby front... my SO and I have been trying vor more than 6 years now....I pretend not to think about it. Sometimes it works and some time it doesn't. And then there are all those people and friends around you being pregnant and having babies. That's just sooo...argh. :-(
