Go Spartans Go!




What a handsome little man in his Spartan windsuit! We're hoping for a big win this weekend:) Go Spartans Go!

Things have been just a bit stressful this past week. On Friday Allen heard that the majority of the people left at his company would be layed off that day! Thankfully (I guess) they did not do layoffs on Friday, instead they told everyone they would have to take a 5-20% pay cut until they did get layed off. However, this pay cut vs. being layed off immediately or within the next week has not been approved by their parent company so their is still the fear that Allen will be layed off within the next week or so instead of in June. I must say I'm a more than a little scared seeing as I am not currently working and I doubt that any one is going to hire a big pregnant lady knowing I need to take time off right away. I'm really concerned about the possibility of not having insurance on Austin and Connor and having to pay out of pocket for a c-section and hospital stay. Such is the times I guess. I'm sure everything will work out one way or another.

Austin and I are going to another Readers from Birth play group tonight so that should be fun. Hopefully the don't pump the kids full of sugary snacks again:) Tomorrow we have our 28 week appointment with the OB. I've been feeling really good lately, especially since I've gotten over that head cold I had. Connor has been kicking and punching up a storm! It's so funny to see my belly jump out several inches:)

We decided now that Austin is 2 it is time to let go of the "Daden" (his pacifier). I didn't want to make him do it cold turkey so last week I explained to him that since he turned 2 and is a big boy that now his Daden is for naptime and bedtime only and we'll be keeping it in his crib. If he wants to suck on it during the day he has to sit in his crib with it. He was a little upset with me the first day but since then he has hardly bothered with it at all except for when he goes to bed. I'm hoping by the time Connor is born we'll be finished with the Daden for good.

I love your little MSU man! Go Green! I hope that the job situation works out so that you can keep your insurance! :) Lisa

I hope that everything works out with Alan's job. The good news is that with the new stimulus package, you will only need to pay 35% of the COBRA payments as long as you sign up within 60 days after a layoff. This will make health insurance much much more affordable if he does loose his job.
