This brings us to an interesting topic, however. Because Jesse's workplace is working him 40+ hours a week but not giving him insurance (it's in the employee handbook), and I can't get insurance through the tutoring center, I had to apply for HUSKY. That stands for Healthcare for UninSured Kids and Youth. Yeah, I know... it's a stretch for a catchy acronym. It's essentially medicaid, but it has already been very helpful because it pays for all co-pays and medical bills! If it weren't for this fact, we wouldn't have been able to afford much for the baby. Plus, it pays for medical care for me, too. This is essential for someone who doesn't even remember when the last time was that she went to a doctor. Lucky me, I have an AWESOME immune system ;-)
Pregnancy symptoms are different with everyone, of course. I haven't vomited once this whole time, which is also a darn good thing because I'm afraid of throwing up! I know... strange thing to be afraid of. The biggest thing is that I've been SO TIRED, and gotten tired so fast. I've gotten into a pattern of going to bed around 9:30, waking up around 8:30-9:00, and taking a nap around noon. I wouldn't be able to get by if it weren't for Jesse. He is so helpful. I try not to take advantage of his helpfulness, but I do tend to ask him to do more things for me, now that I'm perpetually pooped. I have an awesome hubby :)
That's all for now. I'm super excited to experience my first pregnancy and see what God has in store for us in these next few months. Please pray that Jesse's job situation gets better, and that baby Gummi Bear (our nickname for the baby) stays safe and healthy!
