Mommy Blog: Day 5

    Today we are sixteen weeks pregnant. We cant wait for the baby to come, but we found out some very disappointing news. Our insurance company faulted and now we don't have any health insurance for our baby!  This means that we will be accepted to the hospital but, we will end up having to pay a large sum of money that we probably wont be able to afford. We are very scared for what will happen in the future for our family. Mixed emotions are filling us with sadness, disgust, anger but most of all sincere worry...
