xp:Thanks ladies for welcoming me, but unfortunately we're moving back to California

My husband, DS, and I moved here a little over a year ago when my husband was forced to take a transfer in his company to Portland, or basically be laid off.  We were very excited to move here and experience the wonders that are Oregon.  We have loved so much about living here and were making plans to set up our lives here permanently..however due to complications in this pregnancy I started preterm labor 2 weeks ago, my doctor placed me on bedrest for the duration of my pregnancy.  Since we don't have family or a friend base here to help with my two year old, this has made it difficult. My husband had to take some unpaid time off work and my mom had to fly up for a little while (she can't stay for the 3 months I have left of my pregnancy nor would I expect her to).  So our best option is to make the move back.  It will be so nice to be near all our family again, but there are many downsides for us to be in California one of which is not knowing the position my husband will be able to have in his company, he may have to take a serious paycut/demotion which we are still waiting to hear news on, and as some of you may know California is a very expensive place to live and raise a family.  So..we may be back one day if the opportunity arises, but in the meantime I wanted to thank you all for your warm welcome and advice over the past 16 months!

I'm sorry to hear about your pg complications! I hope the move to CA will bring good things for you. Good luck and maybe you'll be back again in the future.
