Mommy Heather

I am sure every expectant mother worries now and then,or thinks the same things I am at some point. Well I just wanted to get these thoughts out in the open.....

*Will the house be ready for Willow when she comes?

*Will we get everything we need for Willow in time for when she needs them?

*What if Brent doesn't get promoted in December?

*What if I go into labor before the planned Csection and Brents at work? He can't leave early anymore or he'll be fired.

*Will I do the right things when it comes to raising Willow? What if I don't know what to do in a certain situation? How do you raise a teenage girl?

*What if Willow ends up hating us for not "having it all"?

*Will Brent be a commited father forever? What if he gets sick of the life he's in?

As more worries come about I will add to it.

This is very exciting, because now we can go to the doctor for our baby any time we need to, and it won't cost us a thing, all doctor visits except ER visits are completely covered by our card. I was also informed that with the medical card we can get a free breast pump. That will be nice as they can get really expensive, and I plan on pumping mostly.
They took an estimated guess at when I would be due by my last period, and if it's correct I would be due December 21st and I am 13 weeks along now. I am not going to get to excited about those numbers yet until I go to my doctor and get a real for sure date with the ultasound and what have you.
My weight, and blood pressure and iron levels are all perfect for me,so that's good news. It seems though, that our scale at home is not right becuase I weigh 10 lbs more than my scale at home has been telling me! It's still a good weight for being pregnant though, how fast this weight will come off when the baby is born, I don't really know.
When we got this medical card we automatically got on WIC so that will give us milk,eggs,cheese,juice,and cereals every month. Their system with these food "coupons" as they call them is weird though.
There's also a place we can go to if we absolutely need to, like after we have a baby shower and we see that we don't have a crib or a car seat or enough baby clothes, or if we are having troubles affording maternity clothes for me, then we go to this place and they will loan us out anything we need for the baby, and we just bring it back when I or the baby doesn't need it anymore. That's pretty neat! I am not sure if we will be needing that place, but it is there if we do.

It's so nice to know that there are places out there that will help us if we need it~

Well that's all for today!
Have a nice Thursday!!
