    Matt,
    I have been in healthcare for 12 years and worked in "baby" intensive care units....there is more radiation exposure just by walking out to your car on a clear day than you would get from one simple chest xray. Since they shielded her stomach, rest assured that everything is ok!

    My husband is not here yet but I know he is very nervous about starting his new life in this country. I know there will be a period of adjustment and what makes it even harder for him will be the language barrier. I believe, as long as there is love, respect and understanding, most couples can get through anything TOGETHER. I have a great career, I am in grad school and have a 6 year old...but I have also contemplated the what ifs... What if we do not get approved? Then what? My answer is simple: I would move to his country. Why? Because if he is willing to leave behind everything he knows, his family, his life for me then how can I not do the same thing for him?
    America has many great qualities and perks that draw people here but it is far from perfect and has its drawbacks as well. Can you suggest moving back to NZ for just a period of time? Say, 2 or 3 years and then reanalyze the situation at that time to decide whats best for the both of you? That way a fair comparison can be made and mutual respect for each others needs and feelings are fulfilled.
    I wish you the best of luck, Kiwi!
