Talking A little extra to go with

My wife and I applied for a skilled visa with the intention of moving to Australia together. We found out the other day that there are now going to be three of us .

We aren't broadcasting it until 3 months, but I'm sure it's okay on here. Just can't contain it and want to shout from the clouds.

Congrats. That whole 3 months thing never works, our families, friends, bosses and even complete strangers all new within 24 hours. You just cant hold it in

Talking Re: A little extra to go with

Thank you everyone for your replies and karma.

Dede is away for a couple of days at a pre-planned two day residential course. She phoned me earlier to say that some of her pals knew she was pregnant just walking into the dining room! She said nothing and they knew it all! She's on soda water and orange juice, and out of the starters, could only have the fish cakes. Brie and eggs in the other two are out .

We had the x-rays the day we found out, but apparently that's okay until the second trimester???? Did another test this morning and still pregnant .

Went to Mamas and Papas yesterday to start planning what to get. Haven't bought anything yet but we were both tempted!

Here by myself, with you guys and Sky TV, so time for a . Fancy a celebratory one with me?

This probably isn't the best medium for keeping it quiet .... sharing the news with a 'few' (100+) people on a forum - and most of us are terrible nosy-parkers!!! Congratulations to you both!

Congratulations to you both. Same applied to me, some friends knew even before I did. Something about not wanting a Baccardi and Coke at New Year. I hadn't got any idea but apparently it was very unlike me not to want alcohol!!!
And to my shame I haven't visited expats since 22nd Aug!!
