HI, Tarra,

I can't really add any more to what Pat has posted. I just wanted you to know that were here for you. If I were you I would contact a crisis pregnancy center. They would give you information on assistance programs that would be available to you and state insurace that would cover your prenatal care as well as cover your child's doctor's appointments for the first year.

If you need help finding a crisis pregnancy center close to you just let us know. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless,
Lori

HELLO,

WELL I WENT TO MY APPOINTMENT TONITE AT THE CRISIS CENTER AND WOW!!! WHAT A SENSE OF RELIEF I HAVE NOW. THEY WERE VERY NICE THERE AND HELPFUL. WE TALKED ABOUT ALL MY CONCERNS AND THEY EDUCATED ME ON SO MUCH FINANCIAL AID AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ME THAT I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT. WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THEM WHEN I HAD MY FIRST 2 CHILDREN. I ALREADY APLLIED FOR INSURANCE AND THEY ARE GOING TO SEE IF THEY CAN SPEED UP THE PROCESS. I AM GOING TO CALL THE CLINIC TOMORROW TO GET MY PRENATAL VITAMINS AS WELL AS CALLING THE "BABY BASICS" PROGRAM FOR AN APPLICATION TO HELP WITH FORMULA, DIAPERS, ETC. MY NEXT APPOINTMENT WITH THEM IS AUGUST 14TH. THING ARE REALLY STARTED TO LOOK UP NOW AND I AM 6 WEEKS..THANK YOU GUYS FOR RECOMMENDING THEM. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED!

TARRA :)

Hi Tarra,

Thanks so much for updating us! You've been on my mind a lot, lately. I know how difficult the early part of an unplanned pregnancy can be. One minute you think "I can do this!" But the next minute fear takes over and you start worrying about EVERYTHING.

I'm so happy you visited your local pregancy center. Good for you! I'm proud of you for looking into what's available. Some women never learn of what is out there.

Please do continue to let us know how things are going for you!

Take care,

Shellie

Tarra~
What GREAT news!!! I'm so glad you went to the center! Like Shellie said, many women don't even bother looking into what types of resources are out there. They just assume they're doomed, when in fact, there is so much help available! Tarra, we are SO very excited for you! Please post any time you need or want to. We are more than happy to be of assistance. You have found a safe and supportive place and we promise to try and do our very best to help and support in any way we can.
You, your children and your little one are in my prayers!
God bless,
Tracey

Hi Tarra,

I'm glad to hear you've found another source of support in your corner. God is good. I hope your pregnancy is a good one, and will be praying for peace and joy to weave through it. Congratulations on your baby! And also for the healthy disposition you seem to have about it and the wisdom to seek out resources for yourself. You're already a good mother to your little one!

I hope you'll keep updates coming.

With Kindness,

Heather
