Hi All,

I posted a thread a while ago about finding myself unintentionally pregnant and my SO and I having jobs in different cities. I am thrilled to report that SO (now DH) got the COA clerkship in Philly that he was hoping for. It buys us a year to figure out our next step and gives him a lot of flexibility for his next career move. Phew!

Also, thanks to everyone who contributed in that thread and helped us both think about the situation from every angle. Even though we don't have everything figured out just yet, PS's wealth of wisdom was very helpful.

Congratulations to you and DH! :appl: Your new arrangement will make starting your marriage, careers and parenthood a lot easier. Glad to hear things are falling into place nicely.
 
Re: My update on my long-distance marriage with a baby situa

Fantastic news!!! Glad it is all falling into place - and wonderful about career options.

AND --- congrats on upgrading SO to DH status! :appl: (as well as hoping the pregnancy is going smoothly for you...?)

I had a REALLY rough first tri: terrible morning sickness. Now I am doing great, though. Working long hours and have plenty of energy :)

Yippee!! Glad its improved. I had morning sickness from conception to delivery with my DD - both DS's were smooth as silk tho. Weird.

Forgot to ask about your school/career options - does this mean you will both be in the same city now?

Awful. I am so grateful that it went away.

We'll be apart for 1 month this year, then both in NY, then in Wilmington/Philly for 1 year (or until the baby is almost 2) and then we will both be accessing our career options for the next step.

That sounds PERFECT! looks like the universe heard your concerns and is working in your favour :praise:

the 1 month apart is going to seem so simple compared to what was potentially going to be about a year. Great news!!!
 
Re: My update on my long-distance marriage with a baby situa

Congrats to you and your DH on the COA clerkship. Sounds like just what you need to make it all work.
 
Re: My update on my long-distance marriage with a baby situa

You have so much on your plate! Congratulations - I can't imagine you being apart with a new baby. You must be so relieved.

Oh, the best drug I ever took was the hormonal changes and resulting energy and happiness I felt in my second trimester of my pregnancy, so work it, MSC!
 
Re: My update on my long-distance marriage with a baby situa

That's great news. Sounds like things are working out well for you both ( or, all three of you). Congrats on your wedding, too.
