I am trying to sell some stuff to help save money. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with a little girl. Our little girl has some things wrong with her heart. She has Transposition of the Greater Arteries, a Ventricular Septal Defect (a hole), and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Here are some links to help you understand what those all mean...

Because of these she will need open heart surgery. Luckily we a military so all of our medical bills will be paid for. But we will still need extra money for gas, hotel, and food. She should be in the hospital for 4-5 weeks. Her first open heart surgery will happen soone after birth (within a week), her second will happen around 4-6 months old, and her third will happen around 3-5 years. The hospital that this will all happen at is about an hour to an hour and a half away from us. Because of the economy and gas prices right now we don't have any extra money for these things. I know times are tough on everyone right now.

We are lucky enough to have my mom coming to stay with us until our little girl gets out of the hospital. She will help us out with our other kids (7 & almost 2 when baby is born), take care of the house, etc.

So to help us save money I am trying to make some things to sell. These are some things I make....
