Health Insurance

Why? Something so simple can be so hard to have. Why can we have it like in other countries were it is FREE. It should be the same here, the government has the money to give it to us. But anyway thats not what my blog, well just a little this what Jose comment is about the phone call that freaked him out. Like most of you know Anthony is 4 months old which means that he has gone to the dr. at least 3 times well yesterday going to a new dr because last time he was at the dr was in Minnesota at 2 months, the nurse said that we were not enrolled in our insurance that we have been paying for 6 months even before Anthony was born. Well Jose and I are enrolled but Anthony isn't, and that mad me very upset so for the last 4 months no one mentioned that he didn't have insurance and that the STUPID people at the insurance company don't know how to do their job. Its not just that, its that Jose went to the Building were you give them the information to enroll Anthony the week he was born so he pretty much did that for what, for them to screw up ANYWAY. All the have to do is type a name and SSN#. Unbelievable, we ended up payng $140 so that Anthony could be seen.

Working Mom




My dream has always been to be a stay at home mom. But I can't really complain I do only work part time 4 days a week, even like that I have a hard time leaving my baby. The first day that I went back to work I cried the whole way and a couple of days after that too. I know that I have to be patient but the first year is very important for the baby so that he knows that he is loved. Well we are looking to see what we can do, its unbelievable that a normal life can be so expensive. How people do it is a mystery to me, probably in debt over their heads, or they have the secret that I haven't found out yet. When we were in Minnesota for 5 months I didn't work and we were able to do more then we can do here in Florida. We went to Chicago and Milwaukee. It was great. I hope that we can go back to Rochester ,MN permantly. Most of the women that I met were stay at home moms and they looked so happy, I loved it too when I was home. We'll see what life has instored for us.

Four Months Ago



It's unbelievable just four months ago I became a mother. Me, the one that wanted to travel and enjoy life with my husband and get to know each other more. Don't get me wrong we did have a lot of great trips together and a time to get to know each other. But there was another plan for our lives. I think that one could never be ready to be parents no matter how much you plan but fortunatly when you do everything just comes to you naturally, well it did to me. Its funny how your whole mind changes things that you thought you care about before are at the end of your list and this bundle of joy takes over. I love how evryday he changes and becomes more active and more enchanting everyday. Every stage just gets better and better, sometimes my husband will say "I can't wait till he......" but I can I wish he could stay this age forever just the thought of him leaving to college one day is devastating in a way, but I can't keep him forever he doesn't belong to me he is his own person and will be making his own life one day. I am already talking about college and he can barely sit up on his own. hahaha! Well I hope that this blog can help me and anyone that may read my blog, we are here to help each other.
