A baby is something I waited a long time to be ready for and when I was, it took time and help to get here.

When we decided to start trying for a baby, I left my management job in Issaquah and we moved to a small town. Unfortunately there was nothing local hiring. And when I was finally able to get pregnant, and started having complications, I didn't qualify for unemployment, FMLA, or disability. My doctor has filled out forms proving that I cannot work, but unfortunately being I quit my last job versus working and then told not to, I've had no income. My husband is a farmer so you can imagine how small that income is as well.

This pregnancy has been a blessing despite its pain and uncomfortability. Despite the gestational diabetes and severe carpal tunnel. Baby and I get checked on once a week by my doctor, I have physical therapy once a week, and counseling with a diabetic educator a couple times a month. All in all, the both of us are very healthy.

Even at a severely discounted rate, I still have medical bills as well as new ones that will arrive later. I'm not begging anyone to give anything but if you would like to help, I would be so appreciative of your generous donation.
