Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

Berdc... Why did they test your sugar so early? I remember you saying the dr said you had gestational diabetes but why did they test? I thought that was only an issue later? But again last 2 pregnancies were symptom free. Lol

 

[moter98]

oh mail - don't get me started on the communist obamacare. we are going to get terrible healthcare and we are going to pay more for it. the writings on the wall. hoping it gets thrown out with a new president. let's be honest, wherever the government gets involved they come out ahead and we suffer.

 

[mailcmm]

I know. I am probably going to jail when I refuse to pay for it. Lol I haven't had insurance in over a decade. And I don't get it because I rather the money in the bank. I don't like being forced to pay for things. Work too hard for what I have.

 

[moter98]

We do have insurance for the "just in case factor". But with a $9000 deductible we have paid for everything out if pocket so far. However, we should have the right to decide if we want health ins or not. It's just another nail in the coffin for this country. I wonder how much money all those congressman made voting for it? I do know that this particular law does not apply to them or to their children. Funny isn't it?

 

[mailcmm]

Hysterical. Makes me insane.

 

[moter98]

MIL just came to pick up DS and the dogs for the weekend. it's so quiet in here i can hear myself think. not sure that's a good thing.

 

[mailcmm]

My kids are at their dads til Wednesday. I miss them terribly but I am enjoying the peace. Lol relax while you can.

 

[moter98]

yep. i love this time, yet i miss him, wondering what he's doing and all that. he's still little enough to let me cuddle him sometimes so i really miss that. but it's nice to get some time without runny noses, screaming, toys thrown all over the place etc.

 

[mailcmm]

I just like to be able to think like an adult. Lol guess that's gonna change soon. This is the child that doesn't go away. Mine are gone every other weekend and every Monday. Wish they didn't have to go away so often. I really do miss them terribly.

 

[moter98]

i can't even begin to imagine how hard that must be for you. at least you won't have to worry about that with this one.

 

[mailcmm]

Yeah. It's very hard. Worse every other birthday, Christmas, thanksgiving and Easter when they go to their dads. Those holidays I spend in bed while dh tries to coax me out of my depression. It would be slightly better if he actually spent the time with them but they are at his mothers. Total ass.

 

[Twinkie210]

That's sad! To only get to see your children once and awhile and then not spend the time with them! I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see DS everyday and especially every holiday... he occasionally goes on vacation with my parents and I don't know what to do with myself during that time! My life revolves around him, LOL. I am lost without him.

 

[moter98]

he doesn't even spend that time with them? wtf? that's sad. i can see why you would be so depressed! i think i would have a breakdown if i didn't get to spend xmas with DS. is there no negotiating with holidays and such? if he doesn't spend it with them anyway then why can't they be with you.

 

[mailcmm]

He takes them to hurt me. It's his point.

 

[moter98]

oh wow. so he's THAT guy. good thing you got away from him. don't let him know it hurts you. that will really get to him.

 

[mailcmm]

I don't. It's only a matter of time. They are smart kids and don't want to go now. Soon they will be old enough to choose. And I make up for the time we are apart when they are here. We do a bazillion things together.

My doctor said they changed the guideline within the last year. I also have diabetes that runs in the family. This is the second day I have been on this medicine and my sugar is stying so low. I ate a bag of M&M's (shh dont tell on me) and my sugar was only 86. I see my doctor Wednesday and also I see the diabeties doctor the same day. I am going to tell them both how shaky and weak the medicine makes me feel.

Do you all find the healthcare system in the States that bad? I don't have really any experience or knowledge of how it works down there.

We pay so much in taxes every year (not much, nothing I've ever noticed anyways) and get pretty much any kind necessary treatment.... hospital visits, dr visits, emergency care, most lab work/scans/etc, and treatments for free. We have the option to purchase our own healthcare plans and use those for reduced prices on drugs, dentist appointments, eye care, specialists... etc.

It was actually part of why the reason why we're content having a baby so early, we don't have to worry about medical costs. We also have a program set up nationally and in my province that provides funding for new parents, which takes a lot of stress off of us.

I feel quite lucky that we have as much as we do... I'm hoping you guys don't run into any troubles.... This is fun! I love learning about other countries!! (I'm a dork! )

Sorry to hear that moter, I can't imagine the kind of emotional rollercoaster she must be on right now.
