Aww I don't envy you all having to work and waiting for maternity leave to start. I've thankfully never had to be in that situation. I hope it passes by quickly for you all.
Thanks for everybody's kind support, you're so awesome! It is a hard situation, it almost feels as if it's been taken out of my hands, like I'm sort of blindly being carried along with everything and I've no idea where the wave is taking me. But maybe it's good that I'm not thinking about it much at the moment. I feel like I really need a break from stress and anxiety, and with DH in France I have some space to breathe and just enjoy some time with my lovely babies, not thinking about marital problems and single parenthood and other stressful things. I'll have to think about it all again at some point, but right now I'm grateful for a break. Especially as I'm starting to feel really tired a lot of the time and the queasiness is getting a bit stronger. At least it's not constant sickness like it was with A, so I can enjoy some of my day and manage to eat things.
AKC, yay for a straightforward scan and YAY for another girl! I REEEEEEEALLY want another girl, I'd absolutely love it. But we'll have to see. I have a feeling it might be a boy this time around. Of course I'll be very happy with a boy, but I know where I am with girls and my existing two are so lush I want another one like them! And if it's another girl the inlaws will be less interested which suits me just fine
