Parental Filter

So my 2 week break went a lot faster than expected. In the time being I have take somewhere in the region of 300 pills, and only skipped one and a half days. SO long as they help as in our near future attempts to try for a baby and as long as it means baby is healthy I am happy to do it.

I hit the ground running my first week back at work. Would have preferred to have eased into the year, and I am appreciating the fact that we're going to the coast for a week in February more and...

can we afford it?
where will baby sleep?
will the baby go on my medical aid or yours?...
