On top of not knowing if I'm strong enough to deal with the emotional strain that's in store for us, I have to say I'm seriously worried about the finances.
Drew doesn't get sick pay or holidays. He's already working 6 days a week to keep us afloat, and I can't go back to work because of Sophie. When coco arrives we will be even more dependant on his income, with the extra nappies and formula and all those other things that pop up thanks to a newborn.
But because I don't drive he will have to take time of work for each doctor's visit, each surgical appointment, each treatment. Some of those will mean we have to travel to Hobart, and even though PTASS think its easy enough to do in a day, it's really not. So we'll be staying overnight and he'll be missing at least two days of work at a time.
How are we going to manage that? The best I can come up with is we start putting some money aside each week now, but I doubt that's going to add up to much. We have a very long road ahead of us.
