So I was excited to hear back from a low-cost insurance program for pregnant women, where I can get everything I need for prenatal care for a low monthly cost and I talked to them a few days ago and I was denied because we make too much money! Of course they don't take into account our bills and mortgage payment, so now I am starting again at square one to try to find a program or low cost insurance. I am so anxious to see a doctor to be reassured and hear our baby's heartbeat, I am waiting until Monday to start calling around to hospitals and Neighborhood Families to see what types of payment plans they have for pregnant women without insurance. Note to self before we have our second baby- get health insurance situated before getting pregnant!
As moms we tend to think we are Superwoman and can do it all! But don't forget you need some time for yourself. Eating healthy is difficult when your toddler didn't finish their mac n' cheese and you don't want to "just throw it away". So I have been trying to be healthy and put myself first, because if I get sick or don't have energy it effects everyone! So I started daily walks with Sydney and replacing one meal a day with a "Green smoothie" ( see pinterest board for recipes ). I need some music to motivate me when I am walking/running/dancing so here is my list. iTunes no longer has public music lists. Below are the names of the songs and artist. I did't have the time to type all the songs, so I just took a screenshot of my iTunes playlist. When I get time I will type the whole list :)

good news! I was able to re-apply using our last year's tax return and we make under the guidelines. So I know I am qualified, I just have to wait another 2-3 weeks for them to officially approve me! So it looks like I'll be 12 weeks by the time I see a doctor...
