Yeah, I agree. A baby shower will help a lot! I'd be in a complete panic without anything picked out. You'll get in all done though. If not, you can get those things after the baby is a few weeks old.

True!! Im hoping I receive some much needed things.

Mrs.Brown you are definitely almost there! I probably won't buy anything except the crib until after the shower myself.

@npjcp I'm 14 weeks and yes it is dragging. I did get to see my lil one today. And there's a pic on my journal link. So you said you wanted a boy right?

Yes, I want a boy! My family has an overload of girls. I don't have high hopes though. Congrats on getting to see your little boy today.

I think finding out the gender will help me bond more with the baby. We have already picked out names.

Cute kids.

Thanks Christy!

babifever do you already have a name picked out for your little boy? it looks like you're a couple of weeks ahead of me.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Today I go to my high risk obgyn. I have gestational diabetes so I have to go monthly so they can check the baby via ultrasound. My copay is so much tho at this place. So ill tell them today, they need to bill me. Then next week, I have my normal DR appt, then the following week ultrasound again, then the following week DR appt again. I go to DR every week now until I have the baby. Its really becoming real now

@jcp yes we have a name for our boy. my husband actually came up with the name about 2 months before I was pregnant. Once we get the spelling situated, I will reveal it on my journal. I'm about 90% with using it and my husband is 110% so that's where we're at with it. I actually have another name I like But he doesn't. I think he's fronting though and just stuck on the name he picked out, lol.

@mrsbrown, I have type 2 diabetes. And I'm on insulin since the pregnancy. Are you on insulin? Right now I see both doctors once a month. There always a week apart. So next week I go to the maternal fetal specialist and they always do an ultrasound. So I literally have 7 ultrasound portraits of this little boy from a yolk sac, lol. I see you mentioned your insurance co pay is high. Have you enrolled in medicaid? I know its late in the game, but normally medicaid will pick up anything your primary/private insurance doesn't, unless you make a gross amount of money.....I would try.

When are you going on maternity leave?

 

[nmpjcp2015]

I work at a medical university, so I'm using their services. Sometimes it sucks (because I'm spoiled), but then I remember than my co-pay is $10 and my delivery is 50% off.

Lol. I let my hubby pick the girls first name and I picked the middle name.
My sister and I came up with the order of the boy's based on about 6 names my hubby and I liked. We've had a hard time with boy names.

My husband and I don't qualify for medicaid. We dont make a whole lot but we dont even qualify for earned income. We actually owe this year, first time. I cant even get on his insurance and its way better than mine. There is this rule that if I can get insurance at my own job, I cant get it at his. Very dumb. Yes I see a maternal fetal specialist and they do the same, ultrasounds each time. They only schedule me once a month because my deductible is so high. Its $140 everytime I step in the office.

I always pick the names of the kids and my husband usually agrees. I have Amariah, Malcolm and now Koreena. Malcolm has his initials, Malcolm Josiah Brown and hubby's Michael James Brown. Koreena is after my middle name Corrine. But since my first name starts with a K (Kimberly) I decided to name her with a K. Amariah Micaiah Fox is named after a person in the bible, which means who is like the Lord and she has her dad's last name. (Now that Ive given yall a history lesson, LOL!)


I go on leave May 1 and due May 2.
