Stay At Home Mommy (and updates)

i know that i havent made a real actual post here in quite a while, i have just been so busy with everything and then had things going on too, so anyway, i am going to post now as much as i can possibly think of to catch things in here up. due to how i had been feeling in the morning, and also throughout the day too while i was at work, me and my boyfriend figured out everything on paper and figured out that with the way that everything looked i should be able to stay at home and not work, and he should be able to pay all the bills on his own with just his pay. that is of course just the bills, that doesnt include any medical expenses, food, household needs, etc. you get the picture. i left my job on the 14th of november, which also so happened to be my appt at the obgyn for a checkup, where everything seemed to be normal at that point. even though i formally resigned on the 14th, i actually hadnt been to work since friday the 9th because of how bad i had been feeling. so i started to try to apply for government assistance, food stamps, wic, medicaid, that sort of thing, and of course there are so many hoops that you have to jump through and so many things that you have to get done, so i have been trying to get all of that done, and i have to have everything completed and turned in to them by the 30th. then yesterday i was having pains in my lower back, a low grade fever, and also was peeing a lot, so i called my doctors office to ask for their advice as to what to do, and they told me to go to the hospital to get checked out. so i went to the hospital, which is the hospital that they specified to go to, because that is the hospital that i will be delivering at, and that hospital is about 30-45 minutes away from the house. so i got there at like 3pm i believe and i didnt leave there until at least 8pm. i got diagnosed with a bacterial vaginal infection, yuck, and the surprising thing is that i didnt have any symptoms at least of that i could tell anyway. from what i have read though it is not unusual for the woman to have no symptoms and i was told that it is common in pregnancy, and for those of you who dont know, i was also told and read that it is not an std. and i made sure that my boyfriend who went with me to the er yesterday, and was in there with me the whole time, also heard that it wasnt an std. so anyway, i was given a prescription to treat that, which unfortunately when we had it filled was 80 dollars. because my wonderful job that i used to work for has already cancelled my insurance, and being that i am in the process of applying for medicaid, and havent been approved yet or anything like that, because it is still pending, i have to pay for everything out of my pocket. i also had an ultrasound done, to make sure that the baby was okay, and we got to see the baby moving its arms and legs, heard the heartbeat, and saw the heartbeating, and also were told that as of yesterday i was 8 weeks and 6 days along, and my due date was 06/30/08. so that only changed the due date that i had originally been given by one or two days. so the doctor came back in the room, and told us at first that the ultrasound and the baby were just fine, but then he came back a little bit later, and said that he had reviewed the ultrasound a second time just to make sure, and that this time he had noticed a small subchorionic tear, but he was saying that it was nothing to really worry about because it was common in pregnancy and it would reattach itself. he was saying that the only reason that he was mentioning it was because he had noticed it and therefore had to mention it. he also said that i might have a little spotting because of it, but i might not because the tear was so small. i was so happy that my boyfriend was there with me, that way he heard what the doctor was saying too, that way when i start getting worried about it, he reminds me of what the doctor was saying that it was nothing to really be worried about. i called my obgyn's office this morning and told them that i was at the doctors office yesterday and what i was diagnosed with and also what the doctor found in the ultrasound, and asked them to get the records from the hospital, which they said that they are going to get, and that the doctor is going to be reviewing all the records and that if the doctor needs to see me regarding it, that they would call me for that. so far hadnt heard anything from them, so that is a good thing. as i mentioned before i dont have insurance right now, so i was told when i asked last time that i was there expecting this to happen, that it would be 70.00 per visit for me to go to the doctor. i also just looked on my insurances website and it appears that the labwork that i had the day after i quit my job, which totals about the amount of 1116.00 was denied as me not having coverage. i want to know how they could have possibly cancelled my insurance that quickly. i am going to have to make a phone call tomorrow and see how that happened, and why they did that. i really hope that i get approved for medicaid because except for medications, i believe that they should go back and pay that bill, and also the bill for the hospital visit from yesterday too. i am trying to do everything that they are asking me, and get them everything that they are asking for, i really hope that they dont give me any issues.
