...the week I've been dreading. look out...here's my spill!!
Justin leaves for a week. I know I'm at home with the kids all day, but there's something about when your spouse comes home after a long day for talking to toddlers and having an adult to talk to, even if it's just about your day, it's adult conversation. None of this 'don't do that to your brother!, no throwing balls in the house!, yes! you CAN go potty by yourself...you've done it LOTS of times. Sorry, no you can't have candy for breakfast.' and the list goes on.
Ok, so I might be throwing myself a bit of a pity party, but can I help it? It's my first time with the kids by myself for longer than a night. I've been lucky. My husband doesn't usually travel without us, and I don't have a problem with him doing it, it's just never come up.
So, here's the test. I really just hoping the sun would come out. please, please. As I'll be watching kids (other than my own) all week and being stuck inside whilst it monsoons is freaking ridiculous.
PLUS, I'm super emotional cause well, I'm 12 weeks prego and we DON'T have insurance. awesome. (here's more spill) I hate, hate America's health care. It stinks. I fell like I'm being punished for having this baby cause it's a 'pre-existing condition' and no insurance company will cover the birth. I cried for an hour (pity party) after I hung up on my insurance company who said 'sorry'. SO this one is out of pocket. If ya'll know about other options or financial aid of some sort please PLEASE let me know. I'm sure we won't be approved for DSHS, but we're not rich either! One friend today told me about Samaritan's Ministry and I've yet to look into it, but will.
...sigh...I feel better already. As one blogger Kimberly says 'I cannot afford therapy; therefore, I blog'. There you have it. Thanks for listening...if there are many listeners out there? :) not sure, but heck, it still feels good to vent through my keyboard.
On the up note: I have a boat load to be thankful for. I really am thankful. I know in my heart things will turn out fine. It's just so hard to see how right now. I guess that's where faith comes in. So! here's to believing in something bigger than little me. I know there's a ray of sunshine behind those clouds. It'll come out eventually.
nighty, nighty. my bed is calling :)

Ugh, so sorry Jaymie.
The fact that your insurance company is not covering the baby--how incredibly frustrating. Try not to let it take away from the joy of this new life. I'll be praying that you get some good answers as far as coverage goes. You already know our situation over here about the lack of dental coverage with Cora. Health care really is horrible nowadays.
And I'll pray for patience for you while Justin is away. You are a super mom, and I know you can do it! Hopefully the week will fly by. Wish I was there to keep you company! xoxo
Congrats, Jaymie! Excited for you guys!
I'm glad I'll get to see you tomorrow for some adult conversation. I'll try to bring you some yummy treats.

Congratulations Jaymie! Joyous news for sure :)
I know mid-wives can (usually) charge a lower rate than normal OB/GYN's- try looking into Puget Sound Birthing Center located near Evergreen hospital. I have had several friends deliver there...and love it...and they deal with cash patients on a frequent basis so they should be able to work something out with you. Good luck!
congratulations on baby #3, courter family! very fun news!! health insurance is such a frustrating thing for so many of us... i'm sorry for the major discouragements you've had this week. we will keep you guys in our prayers, for sure. i am praying for you right now this evening...that God would bless you with a really incredible and fun week, where you will feel deeply blessed by your sons, your friends, and God himself providing for you, right where you're at each day that Justin is away. maybe line up some sort of little reward for yourself each evening to enjoy after the boys are down, to celebrate a day well done (or at least survived!)... your favorite magazine, a movie, a new book, your fave ice cream... love to you, jaymie! and again, we're super excited for your growing family!!
