A month of great decisions

So the nausea and losing weight has stopped. I am now 18 weeks pregnant and have a wonderful appetite again. Food taste good again :) and I love that. Not more throwing up either:). Things have been going great too! Got back with my wonderful husband a few weeks ago. Then during Thanksgiving we had to move all of our stuff into a new house in Rock Hill. We have now come to a point in which Robbies tour will be over this saturday. That means neither him nor I will have jobs. We have savings so we are ok for a little bit but its not very comforting to not have anything coming in.

If you are a woman, I advise that you always have insurance. Especially before you get married. We waited about a month after we got married to start looking at health insurance. Boy do we wish we would have done it earlier because now I have a pre- existing condition and can not be insured. The other problem is that we have no idea where we are going to live. Robbie has two job interviews coming up. One on the 6th and 7th for a church in Hartsville, SC, and one on the 11th and 12th for a church in Greenwood, SC. This is great news, however this puts us in a position in which we are interviewing and still not knowing whether 1) we will even get the position or 2) when the position will even start. So now that Robbies job is ending soon we are going to try to apply for Medicaid. If we can get medicaid that will save us 3,000! If we live in Mississippi that is. If we stay in South Carolina then I want to get a mid-wife. I am a huge supporter and have a huge yearning for a natural Childbirth. I want a comfortable delivery, and refuse to be stuck in a hospital bed with IVs and stuff all connected to me. I have never ever been to the hospital for anything that I can remember. I also want to feel comforted in knowing that having a c-section will be the actual last resort and not because the doctor decides that its taking too long for me to deliver. However, to get a mid-wife in Rock Hill will cost 4000. But they take medicaid too. So it still leaves us at where do we apply for Medicaid! I just wish everything was in place.

I know that everything will work out! God has a perfect plan and his timing is everything. I just need to not worry about it. ALSO we are sooo excited about finding out the sex of our baby on December 15th! That is also Robbie's Birthday. Im ready to quit calling our baby an "it" and get to call it by its name. Either Grayson Alexander Earle or Ainsley Marie Earle. It will also be exciting to finally be able to buy things for the baby and start thinking about the nursery.

Now its time to get with my husband to go to the World of Coke in Atlanta. Its been kind of fun getting to do things like this right now while we can. :). Anyways keep us in your prayers as we have all of these decisions. We cant wait to let you guys know which name to call our baby :).
