Elicia finished fulltime work this week. She'll be doing part-time until the end of December and after that a bit here and there as she finds herself able, but for the most part we're down to 1 wage as of next week. And it's our wedding anniversary today. And exactly three months until our son is due (yes, he's going to be a boy!)
Anyway, more about that later. What's really struck me today is how much of a change this really is for us. Work-wise yes, but I think I was expecting that to an extent - it's really the first thing the husband thinks about. And the baby-care role for the wife - that's another big change but again, it's one that you know will happen before you start. But there's other changes - one for us is that we've had to put our apartment at Mount Hotham on the market in order to make the new budget balance nicely. It's a bit sad - and to me it really does signify the end of a part of our lives, the care-free, travelling part. I'm not moping - I'm sure we'll still go on holidays and whatever else, and they'll probably be even more fun with kids - but Hotham was an escape from the real world, a relaxing of the rules and a real icon of our ability to non-conform. And now it's got - we will conform - we will stay in one place - and we will enjoy it!
Anyway, as I said, more about all that later - but if you want to check it out visit our apartment on realestate.com.au.
