Hi, We're moving back to the midwest from Brooklyn in a few weeks and I have a few questions I'm hoping for help with:   1. We need insurance. DH is self employed/freelancer and I'm currently a SAHM so I'm thinking we'll...

I'm crossing over-had DS @ 41, but feeling stomach sick today and DHs team is playing tmw in addition to having 4-5 house showings (we're selling our house) so it would be a convenient for the baby;)
