I'm frusterated, uncomfortable, confused, and desperate...to name just a few emotions I'm feeling right now. Since Roger's was released from work back in February he's struggled with application processes for many police departments; we assume they are looking for experience and education. He's considered going back to school, but hasn't completely jumped on the idea.
I was scheduled for an induction today because the other woman scheduled for induction today had her baby over the weekend, so I was suppose to have her slot. However, since another patient came in needing an induction that wasn't based upon a circumstantial situation she took my slot.
Now I'm STUCK. Our state assistance ends tomorrow with the former state we were residing in and we didn't qualify for state assistance in the current state we are residing. We are now left with no insurance to continue prenatal care or a doctor to deliver the baby. With these extrenuous circumstances I'm just gonna have to wait to deliver when this baby is ready, going into a hospital that knows nothing about me, and delivering me with stresses of how we're gonna pay for the expenses and potentially arguing with a doctor who could possibly attempt to deliver me again my birth plan.
Ever see the movie Knocked Up? When main character goes into the hospital to deliver her baby, her doctor is in another country, and her spouse has to argue with the doctor to follow her birth plan. Unfortunately, Roger hasn't been as supportive as I would like at this point... but then again I might be carrying some high expectations.
I'm beyond disappointed, especially because at home natural induction hasn't worked.. the kids are full of energy and I'm left with none...I'm ready for this baby and he's not here.
Feel free to comment, but this is my little vent session for today.

Making a House a Home
To a man a house is just a house, but if he adds a woman, the house becomes a home.
We found the perfect little rental home to accomodate our growing family. When searching for homes, Roger and I argued numerous times about how we could make a place work... or how it simply wouldn't work. However, arguments ceased when we pulled into the driveway. The house was in a culdasac and had a long driveway leading back to the house that simply took our breath away.
Walking through the house, neither one of us had disagrements about the place and we both knew this house would become our home. We signed papers and moved in the last week of May. This post is to show off how exactly our new house has become home.
One of the first things we tackled after unpacking majority of the boxes was re-painting the dining room and kitchen. As you can see in the picture below the walls used to be a bright yellow and blue, with a spring time flower pot wallpaper boarder. We could have potentially "lived with it" if we had the appropriate country decor to go with it. The dining room actually reminded me of the little house I grew up in, with drapes that had geese on them. :)
BEFORE:
Nevertheless, Roger and I headed out to find some paint. I refused to simply do a white or eggshell, but demanded we invest a bit more personality. So Roger chose the colors, settling with a hazelnut cream and a mocha brown. I can't say I was impressed with his choice of color, but once I found a walpaper boarder that would tie it all in, I was sold. Honestly, I was quiet impressed with our teamwork and the finished product we were able to create as a couple.
AFTER:
The next room I'm gonna take you to is the living room. With the aqward narrow room and large window I had no clue how we were gonna arrange furniture.. So I let Roger tackle that project and I focused on placing decor. Aside from needing some window treatments, I'd have to say it looks pretty darn good!

AFTER:
Of course, I'm only showing off two of the rooms in the house because they are the only two that are close enough to being completed.. but more will follow as time allows.
