So, I am at school at this moment in the library because it is raining and I don't have my umbrella and it's raining outside. I have a gap in my day on Mondays and Wednesdays where I go home and eat lunch. Well this is my gap and I didn't bring lunch or my books for my next class. So I have my water bottle and some crackers that I always carry around. What a nutritious meal! Anyways I'm stuck at school with no lunch and ill prepared for my next class...great.
On a more positive note, we have another doctor appointment today after Mike gets home from work. They will be doing a general check-up and all the blood work that they should have done last time, but were waiting until we got Medicaid. So we got Medicaid to help us pay for all the doctor visits and everything. We also just recently got WIC which is a program that gives you checks to buy your groceries, but you have to purchase stuff off a special list. So that helps a lot on our grocery bill. Right now we only have the prenatal WIC, but once the baby is six months old, baby food will be covered by WIC as well. So we are pretty stoked about all the government aid that we are getting. (But it only works as long as we are in Idaho...but I hear that you can transfer paperwork and stuff to other states so I'm too worried about that.)
Well I don't want to bore you all with my aggravation, but it is still raining and I am very hungry and can't walk home to eat and get my books!!! And I don't even have a book to read or any homework to do either...
Well...I will update you all on our doctor's appointment later tonight or tomorrow. Have a great rainy day!

Upidy Update
Well I am almost 12 weeks along! :) Have another appointment next Monday. We got medicaid all squared away and so they will be doing all the blood work on Monday. So I have experienced morning sickness, but I haven't been sick for a few days now...(when I say sick I mean my tummy feeling funny, not necessarily throwing up). But I have been mega hungry all the time, which I have been told is very normal and good. Our baby is a fetus now!! I know that I am a few weeks late on this news, but I didn't know until I looked it up the other day. And he or she is the size of a plum! It's getting so big compared to the size it once was, and it still has a ways to go! :) Anyways...I feel like I'm getting bigger in the tummy area and my pants are all a little tight and I can see the bump, but I don't think that anyone else can. I always ask Mike if I am showing and he says, "Yes, you're pregnant!" But sometimes I think he just says that to get me to stop asking him. There is no definite bump yet I don't think, but we are going to take pictures after the dr appt on Monday to start the "prego tummy" pics album. :)
Well, we love you all and will continue to keep you all informed about Baby Moran as the weeks progress onward toward December! :)

Why are plans always ruined?
Well today the non-sick streak of this pregnancy came to an end. I threw up for the first time since I became pregnant this morning. I was getting ready to head out the door on my way to school when I felt the sudden need to lay down or risk the unthinkable. So I laid down on the couch for a bit, but the unthinkable feeling didn't cease. I won't go into the details, but I ended up on the bathroom floor...(use your imagination). I feel fine now, but I fear that if I eat anything it will soon join its friends...Mike is at work and this saddens me because I want someone to comfort me and make me feel better, but I have to do it myself and get myself up and walking to school in like twenty minutes. This morning has just not been that great for me. I had a project that I needed to work on and finish earlier this morning on campus, but with this little unscheduled event taking place, I don't know if I will have enough time later to do it, and if it will even get done at all! I am so grateful for Mike and his job that he has, but sometimes I just want him to not have to go in the morning and stay home and take care of me. So I will be carrying around a bottle of water and a sleeve of crackers to try to combat the nausea and vomiting, but no promises can be made...
Anyways...I have complained to you all enough for now. I will try my hardest to get to school today and turn in all my papers, why does my first class have to be two and half hours long? It is really hard for me to sit there and not get sick for that long. So wish me luck and hopefully no other unscheduled events will occur today.

How we are doing :)
So here is an update of how I am doing and how Mike and his new job are doing.
I am doing pretty good. I have been extremely tired lately and though I haven't thrown up at all, have been feeling very nauseated especially in the morning, which makes it really hard on me to get up and ready and to school on time. but other than that the pregnancy has been pretty easy. I don't want to jinx myself so I'm knocking on wood as we speak... Anyways my clothes are starting to get a little bit tighter so that is exciting!
Mike's job. Where do I start? He works for this older gentleman who lives about 20 minutes away. He mows his lawn, fixes random machinery, digs holes and ditches, fixes boilers as of Friday, and so many other random handy man type things. He has blisters on his hands and is getting kinda tan from being outside all day. Mike likes the job because he's outside actually working and moving around (unlike at his previous job at the Western Wats call center). He got paid on Friday and discovered though that he is only making 6 dollars an hour!! He was told when he took the job that it would start at 7 and then he would get raises every so often. The thing with this is that he works his tail off everyday and only get 6 an hour. (Minimum wage in ID is $7.25 I believe) This was very disheartening for him. We also found out that he is being paid on a 1099 rather than W-2. We don't really know which is better and for what reasons... Anyways Mike plans on talking to him about his wage and try to figure all this craziness out. He is torn whether or not he should quit because he is being treated unfairly, or if it was just a mistake. Because this is our only source of income at the moment, I have been asking him what we would do if he quit, and he agrees that it is not the right thing to do. So I guess that our plan of attack is to keep our eyes and ears peeled about new jobs in town and talk to his employer about all the wage business...hopefully we get it all straightened out so that he won't have to look for another job.
School...well school for me is going pretty good. I'm taking 12 credits but I only needed one 3 credit class to be able to get my associates in July. So as far as work load, it's just a lot of fun sewing, graphic design, flower arranging type stuff along with my lecture art history class that I needed. But like I said before, I do have some troubles getting going in the morning because of the nausea so I sometimes miss a couple classes a week. Mike is also taking 12 credits and they are all night and online classes because he works all day. We have discovered how much we hate online classes this semester. They are really hard to keep up with when you are also going to other classes and working all the time. So I don't think that we will ever take anymore online classes ever! So school is a little challenging this semester with the pregnancy and Mike working all the time, but in July we will both have our Associates degrees and come January (hopefully) we will be moving to Provo and Mike will finish up his schooling there. So we know that everything that we are going through now will make the next couple of years a little easier (as far as school and baby).
We are doing well and will continue to update you on our baby and our lives as we keep plugging along.
Till next time!
