Best Cars to Insure
29 weeks pregnant and not ready yet! help anyone?
I feel so unready for the baby to come! As of today im 29 weeks pregnant http://i28.tinypic.com/t9e3h2.jpg [and barely look like it LoL] so therefore I feel like I still have like 5 months left when really only have 11 weeks! its all coming so fast! I feel sooo not ready! Here is a list of what I have: 1.Some baby clothes, and they're all mainly onesies.. and we have the babys name picked out.. it's Summer Grace! 2.A new safe car [2006 Honda civic] http://i26.tinypic.com/255opqp.jpg for me and the baby, which is insured full coverage and everything plus its GREAT on gas, I cant tell you how much that is a money saver LoL, which is good in the long run, I wanted a car that I wouldn't have to worry about it breaking down [all my other cars did and were so expensive to maintain! And plus I have roadside assistance with the 100,000 mile warranty so I'm pretty much set in that area I think 3.Free rent since I'm living with my dad for free, and my bf is at home too so he doesn't have to pay rent either [btw I'm 18 and he's 19] 4.I just signed up for wic checks so I can get some extra food, and I guess it lasts till my baby is 5 years old? that would be so cool LoL 5.My bf and I both have cell phones that we don't have to pay monthly for at all [so we always have them to contact anyone for emergency, etc.] plus we don't have to worry about a cell phone bill 6.I graduated high school, so I got that out of the way! http://i26.tinypic.com/2ps0toj.jpg 7.I don't think this counts towards my list but I know its important.. I have my bf! http://i32.tinypic.com/2ezjlv5.jpg LoL he's the greatest ever and he'll be the best daddy in the whole world I know it[he's even reading all the pregnancy guide books for fathers I got him from the library LoL], supporting me all he can and loving me even more. the feeling of knowing he's going to be there for me long time [LoL] is just amazing, he means so much to me And a list of what I don't have! 1.I still don't have any furniture! I have 3 baby showers coming up in July.. I wanted to buy a billion things, but everyone keeps saying wait till after the baby showers? I want to but I'm freaking out cuz what if theres something I absolutely need that nobody got! ughh 2.My room is unfinished [also babys room] I still need to put in the new carpet and stuff! 3.Still need to figure out insurance GAH! I'll probably end up with the states insurance 4.I need a better job I only make $7 an hour http://i30.tinypic.com/1zmikav.jpg =[ and so does my bf 5.I need to go to college for 2 years to become a diagnostic sonography tech [ultrasound tech] so I can find a job and make some real money [plus have great insurance] but have no idea where to start with a baby on the way! 6.Oh wow this list is long 7.Daycare, or something, I have no idea how that's going to go. all I know is that me and my bf need to make money and someone needs to watch baby summer! 8.And I bet theres a million other things I'm missing too and cant think of them right now! GAH! Sorry this is soo long, I guess its kind of a panic attack! LoL anyone have any suggestions how I can get everything prepared in time? I'm not stressing or anything [i know thats bad for the baby and everything] but I kind of am freaking out..

- you dont need to go to college. i say wait until the baby is old enough for school then go. so thats out of the way. you need to get yourself a full time job until the baby comes. try reception work for the time being?? im a receptionist and i make $15 p.h. before that tho sort out the insurance. the baby doesnt need carpet straight away, wait until you can afford it. for the time being go to the op shops and get some trendy second hand stuff. congratulations babe! hope everything works out! i cant wait to have a baby :)
- Why don't you get married?
- hiya long lists haha.. i was 19 when i had my first son 2 years ago. i was nervous that we didnt have everything.. im living in england so not sure about insurances etc. id really wait till after the baby showers to see what you need. the main essentials really are; 1- cot/crib 2-car seat 3- clothing 4 nappies 5- food 6-dummies 7- bottles 8- sterlizer 9-wipes 10-creams 11-bedding for the cot 12-pushchair/pram long as your baby has somewhere warm to sleep safe to live and food you will be fine. extras such as; 1- cot mobiles 2-changing mats 3-furniture for babys room 4-baby bath 5-play mats 6-baby chairs would be nice but if you dont get them dont rush.. its fun shopping after you have had the baby. you have 11 weeks left. enjoy that time i have 2 boys now one 11 weeks old i had everything left from my older one so i was lucky. long as your baby has the essentials you dont need to worry. if you dont have them by the time your baby is here im sure friends and family will run around and get everything sorted for you. for your health and baby calm down and rest. the work situation can be sorted after the baby. make the most of the free time you have now. enjoy. hope it all goes well and ive helped xxx
- If you're not currently insured, you sure as hell better work on getting insured now. The average cost of having a baby vaginally is between $5-10,000. If you're like me and go into preterm labor, that's another $5,000 there. Do you qualify for your state's Medicaid? If you do, I'd highly suggest you apply IMMEDIATELY. It will cover everything AND the child's pediatric visits when she's born. If you qualify for WIC, I'm sure you qualify for Medicaid, too.
- Hey Grace, Glad to hear your boyfriend is out of jail and that the army released him fast. I told ya that it wouldn't take more than 2 weeks. :) Right now is the time to pull in all of your resources and family in friends. Trust me, there is nothing to be ashamed about. This is the time when your needs have to be put aside, and for the next 18 years +, it is all about your little angel. Also trust me, the list will never get smaller, you just have to do the best you can and try not to stress too much over things. Take some time to enjoy every moment that you can as well. :)
