We are in a good place, so whichever that is! Baby is at a great age, starting to STTN, happy and thriving. We are buying our condo and that's going well, but also means money is stretched a little thinner. But yeah, overall very happy with our current situation.

Uphill battle, a lot of sadness and everything up in the air. However still grateful for my wonderful husband and healthy son.

Currently in an upward battle

@locavore_mama: thank u So true! We really are luckier than a lot of people. I def continue to count all of our blessings. Keep us posted about your MIL I have been following your story.

We're in an OK place, but I think we're finally moving towards a better one! We've moved into a place we love, and DH has finally finished school. Things are still stressful, especially with how rough this pregnancy has been on me, but we're learning to communicate much better than we ever have. I'm looking forward to seeing him as a dad!

We're in a good place. Pregnancy has been physically rough on me but we have bonded so much as a couple. He has really stepped in and shown how responsible and caring he is and we're so much more in sync now than pre pregnancy. I've also been spending a lot more time at home rather than at work (since I'm on sick leave) and that leaves me so much more emotionally available at the end of the day. That has definitely helped us.

We're slowly moving up the hill too. Our lowest point was probably around a year after lo's birth. But we take good steps forward each day. Marriage sure is a process!

Our relationship as a couple: solid.

Pregnancy: started off pretty rough, but I'm getting more good days.

Work: my job is a good fit for me and I like my coworkers and bosses...BUT I wish I didn't HAVE to work.

Finances: on paper we're fine, but we're trying to pay off student loans as fast as we can and so the thought of making a limited income for around 9 months after baby comes (maternity leave, unpaid leave, going back part-time for a while) plus daycare costs bums me out. DH will also be taking a slight paycut this fall to be around a little more and we're moving over to his health insurance, which costs more so, that's another bummer.

House: inexpensive rental in a very expensive town surrounded by friends and community who love us. BUT the house is rundown and old. Wish we could move to something nicer and more updated (which we can afford if we move out of this particular area).

So, I think we're on a hill looking at the unknown. Anxiety is useless and unproductive, but its a daily battle to not to worry. We're having a baby after years of trying so we tell ourselves we're incredibly blessed and lucky, and we will still have enough money to live on, despite the reductions in pay.

We choose to be thankful!

I don't know? Financially and such we're good, work is good, but I'm having a really rough time lately with my anxiety, so for me personally, I feel like I'm in a bad place. I'm working on climbing out of the pit though!

We're in a good place, and ever so thankful. We've had a rough few years job and health wise.

I think marriage wise we're on top of the hill; we're still kind of newly weds and we are really enjoying ourselves. But we're definitely going through some valleys due to DH's work. And We're in limbo in the TTC sense... Not really in the valley but def not on a hill until a BFP!

We're doing pretty well right now. We're not on the top of the mountain, but we're pretty close. With my mat leave rushing by, its important for me to enjoy this time, rather than worry and focus on going back to work.

Valley because the new baby stage is getting to us! Sleep deprived and tired. Can't shake the feeling that I'm doing everything wrong...but I think this is all normal. DH and I snap at each other more than normal from the stress but it's not bad. We have good times too!

Although we are doing really good financially and making a lot if efforts to save money and have a set plan for our future. So we're on our way back up.
