Praise God...from whom all blessings flow

I don't really know what else to say, except PRAISE GOD!!! As most of you know, our lives have been a bit crazy in the last year, and with that comes changes in jobs/positions. When we found out we were prego with kid #2 last fall, we were thrilled (maybe not at first) and a bit nervous. How are we gonna pay for another kid?
Well, we thought all of our prayers were answered when Jamie was offered to become the GM (in training) at his part time job; which meant he'd go full time and get full time benefits, including myself. Well, God must've thought different b/c at the very end of December, we found out it wasn't gonna work. Plus, we always knew that it wasn't his end goal in life to become the GM of a Chick-fil-A. So we decided we'd go back to where we were and stick w/ the part time ministry position at church and part time at CFA; all the time trusting that God would continue to lead and provide. We felt "called" to be faithful in what He'd entrusted us, even jobs.
All that to say, since we are both working part time jobs, neither of us can get insurance through our employers; which meant we were just using our individual family plan.

Individual health insurance = no maternity coverage

So what do we do next?? As of January 31st, I stopped my insurance b/c I was trying to apply for Cover Colorado (a health insurance plan that does not deny anyone with pre-existing conditions). The hitch: it costs $400 per month for me alone. Yikes!!
When I was prego with B, I had tried to enroll in Medicaid, but unfortunately (or fortunately!?) we made too much to qualify.
That is...until we recently learned about CHP+, another form of Medicaid in which you can apply if you make more than the amount that qualifies you for Medicaid.
Even for this, we were gonna be close to the cut off amount in which you can be eligible. But we figured we'd give it a try. Just this morning, I went down to the hospital to enroll for this (took 2 1/2 hours - not fun while trying to entertain a 20 month old!!) - but it paid off.

Praise GOD - I was accepted!!!!

Which means!?! "All pregnancy care is free, including prenatal care, labor and delivery, and visits after you deliver. Other medical care, such as prescriptions, may have small co-payments depending on your family size and income".
No, I am not ashamed to say I am on medicaid. This is just another way of God blessing our family and showing us that He does care and love us and watches over our needs...big and small.
