If we would have a boy we were going to call him Joshua.

Hi DD and thanks, we won't be going for a while, are planning on the beginning of January 05 at present. This is because I'm due to have our second sprog in the next few weeks and it'll be too young to travel, and also because my hubbie's mum has had cancer and we don't want to go until she is fully recovered. So we hope there are no nasty surprises between now and then!
I've been enjoying following this thread and seeing all the different viewpoints. Did you decide to go after all? If so, best of luck!

Hi treefrog
Yes, we are back on course but a long way to go yet!! We're probably looking at late '05 (seems ages away but I know it'll pass quickly - life has a way of speeding by). We're heading for Melbourne and we have relatives there.
Sounds like you've been through it recently with your mum-in-law, hope she's getting on ok. My dad has cancer, he's had it for about 6 years, the type of cancer that he has is a 'good' one for him to have in the respect that as he is 84 and it is slow moving and is not so aggressive as most others are. If he was a lot younger he wouldn;t be here now (hence the 'good'!).
I wish you all the best for the forthcoming weeks. Please keep us posted on how you're doing and don't forget to post some piccies so we can see Joshua (only teasing your husband!) looks like!!!
All the best

Thanks for your good wishes. It's funny, before we got the visa (on Tuesday) I was full of worries about how we were going to manage with a new baby and all the logistics of emigrating, but now we're both full of optomism and feel as if we'll be able to cope with anything! Exciting, isn't it?
Take care.
Jenny
