January 20, 2012:
Ultra sound went good yesterday. Maggie's heart beat was 159 ,
amniotic fluid is still the same ( NONE), and she is still growing. I am
going to cancel my doctor appointment on Monday with the high risk OB
in Orland. It is finally starting to set in that no one will be able to
help us. Plus, when I hear ," I am so sorry Mrs. Anderson there is
nothing we can do." I will be devastated all over again , and my heart
can only handle so much right now.
Today has been a rough day. Bills keep coming in the mail that I
have no clue how we are going to pay. Not to mention we are having to
rob Peter to pay Paul as it is ( so we thought). The "Peter" bill was
on auto deduct, and since the bill was more that it should of been (
error on there part and I already called to get this fixed ) it took out
every last cent we had in our checking account. I went to Kroger to try
to return a gift card given to us for Christmas, but they will not
return prepaid cards ( great). I scrapped together $15 to put into our
checking so I hope we do not have anymore surprise to make us bounce.
Next,
we went to go grocery shopping at ALDI with a Visa gift card we got in
the mail from ATT ( we have been hoarding the $50 card since November
and it was suppose to go to our license plates ( so much for that) ) The
card did not work at ALDI ... I also had a major break down in line and
started sobbing. NEW BORN BABY in the cart right in front of us. I was
fine at first and then my mind started turning. The baby was so sweet
and I just wanted to pick him up and love on him. Then the realization
hit were no matter what I will not be able to have that with my baby. So
then I am just sobbing because not only am I embarrassed about the card
not working, but about the new born baby I just want and will not be
able to get. Then we tired to go to an ATM to pull the money off the
card to go pay for the food and that would not work. So, off to Walmart
we went, we got basically nothing for $45 and I price matched. ( I know I
should be thankful we got that at this point)
I know life is a struggle, but seriously I HAVE HAD MY SHARE! I
have no choice , but to continue .. I really just want to curl up in the
fetal position and just wait till the storm passes. I can't work, and I
can't fix my baby I feel so helpless. It is only going to get worse
those bills that we are not able to pay this month , plus the crazy
extra plates, drivers licenses, bank fee's for our house, medical
bills... It all just keeps coming and I need it to stop before my head
explodes. Plus, I am starting to get jealous of other peoples lives with
healthy babies, can afford to stay home and get their hair done, nails
done, kids enrolled in great activities , nice clothing. GRRR! I am
going to stop now because my thoughts are negative and you all have herd
enough of my crazy ranting..

I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. Finances alone are enough to drive anyone over the edge. Remember that those people with seemingly perfect lives have their problems behind closed doors as well. I know that nothing anyone says will make it any better, but know that there are those of us that truly care and are thinking of you daily. Hang in there, hold on to your faith, pray hard and cry harder has been my motto over the last year or so. Love ya girl!
