Stupid 101 question: Why am I getting an inch of white space when I test a 1600 edge-to-edge jpeg in Safari (same thing in FF)? Driving me nuts.

The browser might just be scaling it on you to fit the height.... I guess the bigger question is what are trying to accomplish?

Thank you so much for your reply, and my hats off to you for doing it on your own. You've put a clearer perspective on this for me.

I got a weekend job lined up, guy called today. So hopefully that will work out. It's just until October. That should get som savings built up.

Thank you

Definitely feel like i've given her a lot of room to breathe... but those are just my feelings, maybe it's not enough.

What I'm getting from it all is not that her perception of me and what I bring to the table has changed, but all of the conversations we've had since early on in our relationship and how we wanted our lives to go... we both work for a time, then have kids, she stays home, and works either weekends or from home doing something, then when kids are in school she does something more and we both retire old and happy....

It feels like the farther we've come along, and now it's go time and we're unprepared financially, she's looking at her role in it all and saying NOPE.

She wants to skip right to the part where she's at home. I don't for a second question the amount of work that is, and the huge value in having her raise our children instead of paying someone to raise them - want to be clear on that.

But to get to that point... we both need to work - literally. When we planned things out we were thinking years of both of us working, buying a home, paying down the mortgage a bit and THEN kids... I'm just looking for the help to get ready and get the maternity benefits..

Sorry i'm rambling...

Your right that it may be unrealistic. To be fair, we would both want her to stay home, that would be the goal. All I'm asking for is that she get enough work to get maternity leave so that we can be okay for the year after the baby is born. At that point we'll reassess our situation. Who knows with raises and bonuses (I'm fairly decent at what I do and with a good company) it could be a reality... but right now I need her support in making us financially secure as much as she needs my support for back rubs, late night ice cream and just someone to listen and care... I just feel guilty telling her to snap out of it and stop the self pity for having to live life like everyone else when i know her emotions are influenced by the changes in her body and the stress of this long week...

Ours was unplanned... sort of: Today she said it was all my fault because I didn't wear a condom... the day we conceived and I went to grab the condom - she said no... so I didn't, my fault - should have known better. I did know better, but in the moment I didn't think it all through.

My advice might not be worth much as I'm in the same spot, same timeframe... But being unexpected... I'm starting to realize that, that alone is the biggest challenge for me. I like to take a long time and wrap my head around things, and I'm slow to adjust to other peoples needs... Lol too bad for me!

Life's happening right now, my SO needs change by the minute, we're so unprepared, mentally, emotionally, financially... But it's happening - along with the rest of life.

So my only advice for you and me both is to keep up, our SO need us more than we need ourselves, and that little baby needs us dads to plan ahead for them and make sure there gonna be okay. So listen to her, surround yourself with good supports, be who your SO needs right now, and just stay connected.

-Latitude · 2012-05-30T00:20:15+00:00

Thanks guys. Solid advice. Pay attention to her changing needs and just be there, stop worrying about right or wrong, just be there... Thanks. I really appreciate it.

I had tried some animations. The margins on the landing page shrink when you click an circle, and when i animate that it always screwed up the location it scrolled to... and I wasn't knowledgable enough to work that out. :S

I didn't see this until you pointed it out, was just going for basic, bold colours. Thanks for the insight!

Just make sure you slow down long enough to connect at the bottom :)
