A second chance at having a family.

On April 4th, 2016 I was supposed to give birth to a beautiful baby girl. But instead, at 41 weeks, I gave birth to a stillborn. Thankfully a year after losing our baby girl Coda my partner and I were given a second chance at expanding our family. We thought we did everything we could to plan ahead for the time I would be out of work, saved up as much as we could with still having enough money to live off of. We even moved in to a cheaper place.... What we didn't plan for was my partner developing a herniated disc in his back which in turn caused a sever case of sciatica. The combination made him completely immobile and he needed to get emergency back surgery done. In total he lost almost 2 whole months worth of pay and we ended up having to use up all the savings we had to compensate for the lost income. Now we are 3 days away from having our rainbow baby Celeste and we just seem to be drowning more and more. Between the car payments, health insurance, rent, credit cards and medical bills we're barely keeping enough in the account to go grocery shopping as well as have gas money so my partner can get to work and I can get our 5 year old to school and also get to my doctors appts. We've had to tap in to our 5 year olds savings and we're out of options. All we are hoping to do is to get by until I can get back to work while also still being able to give our 5 year old an okay Christmas.
