I'm trying to remain calm...
Well I got a phone call from my husband yesterday, a phone call I did not expect, a phone call that has now thrown me for a loop
I think I mentioned he works retail, he has been at his job now for 6yrs, and was told yesterday that the 31st of this month his store will be closing (insert jaw dropping image here!) we are blindsided by this
I asked if they would be placing him somewhere and at this particular time there are no openings in his region
OH MY GOODNESS, my head almost exploded and I felt like I was going to throw up for the next several hours. I spent most of that time scouring the internet on monster.com and our local paper online for jobs for him and honestly I'm scared
And to add fuel to that very big very scary fire I sit here unsure if I may be pregnant (insert oh woes me music here)
I know I am not the first woman in the world to have their husband loose a job, or the first who could be pregnant at the same time and have a family at home but it is the first time I have been in this position and I am at a loss at the moment
I'm scared I could be pregnant and soon to be without health insurance, I'm scared that there is nothing for us to fall back on, ie: no savings, no family, no nestegg
I know how long it can take sometimes to get work, how on earth will we survive?
I'm trying SO hard not to get ahead of myself
My gut still feels like I did not get pregnant and my gut does feel like something will work out for husbands job and I really really am trying to stay positive, I'm glad the girls are too young to understand what is going on so they wont worry, I worry for them
I look in my daughters big sparkling blue eyes and hear the incredible sound of her laugh and I have to believe that it is all going to be alright. I watch them play together and fight and make up all within a split second and my heart melts, for them I have to believe
Their middle names are Hope & Faith and that is what I'm living on at this moment...........

If you are PG then it's meant to be. I think things happen for a reason. It will work out in the end. Either way--PG or not,true, you still have some worries. There are programs and services out there for free prenatal care and free health insurance for families in your situation and you'll be okay. Take one day at a time.
