So I've been holding off on mentioning this, because it seems like nowadays I'm constantly announcing we're doing something, only to switch directions three seconds later. But anyway... we're not moving to Crescent Beach after all, or at least not immediately.

Basically the house inspection showed up some things in the Crescent Beach property we were looking at that we weren't at all comfortable with, so we walked away from the deal. The intention is still to move at some point, but now with being pregnant, it basically should either be happening this month, or not till the babe is 6 months or so. 'Cuz I really, really don't want to move while knocked up. And obviously I'm not doing it with a brand new little one.

I'm a bit torn on this decision. I mean, I'm really, super happy to be staying in Vancouver, which gives me so much inner peace and such a sense of happiness. And I love my midwives and obviously want to work with them, and I sort of have a hard time imagining giving birth somewhere other than B.C. Women's Hospital. (Not that I imagine giving birth ever, nor do I plan to start, thankyouverymuch.) And as the pregnancy gets further along and things get emotionally harder for me, the idea of being closer to all my friends here becomes very, very appealing.

But obviously this doesn't solve the problem of the hubby's commute (back and forth to Abbotsford), and he's basically taking (or continuing to take on) on a pretty big commuting burden for the next year or so. Which means he's more tired, less energy for work and less energy for me and the kidlet.

There's some talk of trying to arrange for him to work from home a few days a week, which would be awesome, but doesn't actually look entirely feasible right now. There's talk of hiring a bookkeeper, which would take a big administrative burden off of him and would allow him to be a bit more portable, but that also looks a ways off.

So basically, aargh.
