Decision Time

It's now Week 17 of the pregnancy, and Beth turns 4 today!

In the past few days, we've had to make some difficult decisions:

- To forgo our Oz PR and deliver the baby here (in case I develop complications and don't have a reliable gynae to fall back on/develop postnatal depression from being all alone in a strange land)
- To apply for PR for baby when he/she is born

I'm so frustrated. We were so close to making THE MOVE until hubby's pals in Melb wrote to discourage us from going without a job. My good friend Y2 agrees. Now an acquaintance in Melb (Annie's pal Freddy) says it's really about what our long term goals for the family are, and that jobs are aplenty if we adjust our expectations. And hubby's pal in Brisbane is glowing with optimism about the state of the B economy and the job prospects.

I don't know what to think anymore, and meanwhile, the clock is ticking.
