INSURED!!

Hooray for insurance! Today is the big day; I am now an insured pregnant lady. I celebrated this event by going to my first Dr.'s appointment since May! I am happy to report that all things are developing quite nicely. The baby is head down as she should be at this point and she is a little smaller than average for this stage of pregnancy. She is not abnormally small, just a little on the dainty side. Here's hoping for a 7 lb. baby! I have started dilating and softening, so we really are getting close to showtime.

I am at a new OB now and I am so happy with him. They don't use nurse practitioners at this office. Patients only see the real doctor so I already like this one infinitely better than the last one. The other staff was friendly and nice and I have another appointment set up for next week. All in all it was a great visit.

To make the day even better, I received a phone message from my last Dr.'s office when I came out of my appointment that said that they have resolved the issue of the mystery bill I received last week. You may remember me blogging about this $850 mess. I was told that the matter had been cleared up and my cost for labs was not the original amount stated, but it was in fact only $184. WOW! Big difference. It has just been a really great morning.

So I am feeling good about life right now, my baby seems healthy and almost ready to show her face, and I can't wait to be a mom and see my mom in the next few weeks! I decided to post my weekly belly picture today instead of tomorrow because I am just overflowing with joy right now. I know that for continuity I should take it tomorrow, but I don't care.
