Thankful: Day 14

Today I'm thankful for the small answers to prayer, and the mercy of God when we don't necessarily heed promptings.

Long story, but in October I kept feeling like I NEEDED to get Ryan health insurance (remember the friend post about not judging? So if you're a friend don't judge us for that one...it's another long story). I kept thinking about it, and then NEVER did anything about it.

So yesterday it came to our attention that we needed to take Ryan in to the doctor for something (small, thanks to answers to prayers). And we started looking up healthcare stuff, and found out that the month for open enrollment for kids is the month that they were born, OR you have to pay a higher rate PLUS 20% surcharge for 12 months. Oops. Head Smack. SERIOUSLY? I was SO sad that I hadn't listened to the prompting I had in October to get him insurance. SO SAD. Cried for awhile about it.

But you know what? I called a random pediatrician this morning, and we went in, and it was not nearly as expensive as I thought, plus I LOVED HIM! (and if you know how I feel about most pediatricians, this is huge!) And we found a few affordable plans (even with the surcharge), so phew!

And just to keep things real, I am praying really hard that we'll figure out a new solution to the next healthcare crisis (getting insurance for Seth and BGJ (baby girl johnson)).
