Forgot To Mention

my last checkup visit for the pregnancy, which i believe was on the 12th, we got to see the babys heartbeat and also see the baby on ultrasound because when the midwife was trying to hear the babys heartbeat on the doppler, the baby kept moving and the midwife couldnt get it, so we got to see the baby on ultrasound and see the babys heart beating, and while we were watching the baby was doing flips and moving around a lot, it was great. i loved seeing that. and then on the 14th, i went back for a problem visit, you really dont want to know what for, but i got medicine for it, and i finished taking all my medicine so it seems to be gone, at least for right now, but who knows, because it is something that i have been told is very common in pregnancy. but anyway, that time the midwife didnt try to hear the heartbeat i guess because i had just been there. but then i had to go back again on the 17th i think it was because the runny nose sneezing thing i had was getting worse, and that time the doctor that i saw, used the doppler and we got to hear the babys heartbeat on that, which was awesome. he said that what was causing the sneezing and runny nose was viral, and that there was no medicine for it, but two days later i wasnt feeling better, i still had a low grade fever too which i had been running on and off, so i called back the office and talked to the midwife and she called in an antibiotic for me saying that i most likely had a nasal infection, and i just finished taking those, and i am feeling better. not completely 100% back to normal, but at least significantly better then i was. that is for sure, which is a great thing. i also dont think i mentioned before, but i got approved for medicaid, yeah! and so did the kids, we didnt get anything else though. we got denied for food assistance and cash assistance because we make too much money, which i thought was amusing, as compared to who i want to know. so basically we are in the same position with being able to pay our bills and not have any money left over for food or gas for the cars every week, but at least we all got health insurance, especially me because the kids already had some form of health insurance, so that is a load off for me anyway. it does make me feel more relieved at least knowing that i have that. so anyway, just wanted to mention all of that because i didnt think that i had mentioned it before.
