Roe v Wade

 Roe V Wade has been overturned! I applaud the decision of the court, yet at the same time I am saddened by the fact that justice was not served. Babies will still be murdered via pill in trigger law states. Babies will still be murdered because of the cowardace of judicial systems. 

If you are a mother and you want to keep your baby, but are afraid because of resources, here is a list of some that can help you. 

Government:

1. WIC (Up until age 5) (They often carry breast pumps)
2. Food Stamps
3. Pregnancy Medicaid. 
4. Housing Assistance 

Local:

1. Food cupboards 
-Some college campuses have them for the community. 
-Some churches have them for the community
-There are some government food cupboards, but they can be difficult to apply for. 

2. Clothing cupboards
-Some food cupbords include these
-Some churches have these

3. Crisis Pregnancy Centers
-They typically have baby clothes, diapers, and wipes. Sometimes they also carry formula or breast pumps. 
-They will do free ultrasounds. 
-Some of them have prenatal care

4. Local income based clinics
-This can help with prenatal care throughout your pregnancy. 

5. Churches
-They will often help with food
-They sometimes can help with rent
-Sometimes they will provide a baby shower. 

6. Facebook Groups
Resources and Sales for Mamas is a private group that is for sharing of resources. Currently just the Admin shares info, but that can change the more people who join!

There are Amazon Baby Registry groups for moms to use.

It's Not Just Your Life

 A common misconception when you get married, is that you still have a life outside of your spouse. You do, in a sense. But now you have a partner. Partner in crime, friend, lover. It's not just your life anymore. Then you have kids. You now have at least two extra people in your life.  The way you live your life has a direct impact on your family. If you travel all the time, you run the risk of losing a close connection with your spouse and children. If the way you respond to confrontation is anger and shouting, then you need to take a pause and figure out your emotion. Anger and yelling should never be the way to resolve conflict.  One of the most shelfish things you can say to a spouse is, "it's MY life." Yes. You have a life. But consider the woman/man you married. They gave up a part of their life for you. Independence, a job, own living space, privacy. It's a partnership, not a competition.  I hope I never hear those words from my spouse. I hope I never thin

30 weeks pregnant, cooking, and more.

 This week I am in my 30th week for pregnancy. I am excited and nervous because I only have 10 weeks left. I am nowhere near ready for this baby but I am doing my best. I have started cleaning my house better and I noticed I seem to be doing more "nesting" activities. I am doing dishes more frequently, cooking bigger meals, and overall just preparing for the arrival of the baby.  I am hoping to transport some of the baby furniture here in August. I think the day we do that, I will also invite mom and dad over for supper with the kids. It will be crowded, but it would be worth it. Especially if we can move the baby stuff in.  Rory bought a huge hamburger thing, so we are going to use that eventually. I'll probably pull it out of the freezer tomorrow so its thawed by Monday. Then I can cut it up and repackage it for storage on Tuesday. I plan on making "fake tacos" (hamburger, potatoes, carrots), hamburgers, casserole, etc. I am hoping to make freezer meals as wel

The church, their responsibilities, and how it can effect mindsets.

 I have grown up in church my whole life. I was saved young. I love the church with all my heart. If you are a Christian, you should be in church. As someone who couldn't attend church for almost a year, I understand that it's hard to go back.  I do understand that the church fails sometimes. I am reminded constantly in recent years that they fail quite more frequently then we would like them to. Here are some examples of where I feel the church has often failed me.  1. Nobody reaches out if you don't show up. When I was out of church for over a year, only two people contacted me. One also has a chronic illness and the other had good intentions. I was alone a lot and didn't see a lot of people. I struggled with depression from it for over a year along with severe anxiety attacks. 2. If you are in need and not yet a member, you are often excluded. I understand that certain privileges come with church membership. I am a pastor's kid, I understand too well. But I learn
