I'm working part time and watch my cousins 2 kids at least twice a week. Next week is their last week here though. That is getting to much. I work in a clothing store otherwise. I need to make it to a total of 600 hours from my last stint of Mat leave in order to apply for it again. I'm going to just barely make it if this baby keeps herself in there till at least the 23rd of June I think.
I went 12 days late with my son so who knows when this one will come. I feel ready now

Reapply for unemployement. I think Its just a political move that's going on cuz I'm still recieving it but I know people who have gotten it canceled. And I had just reapplied for it a few weeks ago.

I'm working my dear. Never stopped. Not planning until this baby literally drops!  Can't afford it any other way. My insurance is super expensive and barely covers anything. Everyone told me I could get Medicaid but I got denied. Every prenatal visit I pay $175...it's super insane! I have Aetna through my job. (Full time front end supervisor at home depot)  it is what it is...everyone at work knows that if my water breaks they'll have to take me lol
