So it seems life occasionally throws speed bumps, and in some cases, mountains, in the way of your best laid plans, even if those plans exist merely as an amorphous blob. As you may or may not have already heard, Rachel was laid off from her job recently (insert Yosemite Sam grumblings). Nothing like giving our child a healthy shot of good ol' reality even before it gets its first vaccine! Of course, with the lay-off, also goes her health insurance which throws yet another wrench into the already well-monkeyed works. But fear not! I'll be adding her onto my own plan to fill the void. This hasn't really affected much in the short-term except for some vague anxiety and worrying. It will definitely cost more (but considerably less than an arm or a leg) to have us on one plan. But really, what doesn't cost more in this day and age? We perused my plan and the doctors and hospitals it covers, realizing that Rachel and our baby will be more covered than before. In the end, we will be feasting on a bigger smorgasbord of medical options and feel more comfortable about our healthcare... Pass me a better hospital! Who knows what the future may hold... They may have taken our jobs, but they can't take our peace of mind! It's in our brains!

I applaud your optimism and I'm rootin' for both of you. I think that tho this feels like it could not have happened at a worse time (it's never a good time to lose a job when it's not your idea), just know I am praying for you guys to have doors open for you (like getting better insurance through your plan), for Rachel to find lots of leads for a job she can enjoy and a much better employer, and for both of you to have a great outlook as you prepare for your baby (my grandbaby) to make his or her appearance. Remember I am going to help out with whatever I can to get you through this hurdle...and, as always, I have your back like you have each other's. Chin up, young persons!
