18 weeks 3 days

Nothing much to really update- feeling pretty good. Time is flying- which is good and bad. Good because not only do we get to see our sweet baby soon but we'll be meeting him/her before we know it. Bad because I still don't have Delilah's blanket done LoL I have about 2 weeks and some odd days to get it done. I'm going to have to kick butt here. I'm also trying to figure out when the heck I'm going to knit this baby's blanket as well as do his/her scrapbook.

I did have an insurance scare the other day. I had gotten home from work & John told me there was a message on his voicemail from the insurance company. Of course by the time I listened to it the lady (a caseworker) had gone for the day. I was so worried thinking of all the things they could be calling about including that because I have PCOS I'd have to pay out of pocket for my care (since it was a "pre-existing" condition & I didn't have this insurance when I was diagnosed). I called the lady's number & left her a voicemail with my cell phone number. I was so anxious for the next morning to arrive. I got to work and went to pull out my cell phone... and it wasn't there! I had left it at home- argh!! So I called the lady's number (thankfully I took the paper with me) and called her. I wanted to get this over with. I got a hold of her and she asked me how I was doing. I told her I was fine, asked her the same, and told her I was nervous. She told me not to be nervous and that she is given cases that she looks over & if something sticks out that she needs more information on she calls the insured.

She got my file and went on to say that it showed I have Type II diabetes. I said "Um, noooo." Then she asked me what I took the Metformin for (a diabetic drug sometimes used for the treatment of PCOS) and I told her that I was taking it because of the PCOS. She said that the dr. office hadn't noted in my file that I was taking it for something other than Type II diabetes. She was calling to verify if that was correct because they like to follow cases of pregnant women with Type II diabetes closely because there's an increased risk of issues. I was sooo relieved to find out that it was just a simple question such as that. It also makes me wonder why the heck the dr. office writes down or leaves out things are seem to be crucial information.

My 18 week picture- I have to remember not to wear this shirt for pictures again. It doesn't help that I look more fat than pregnant :-\
