I suddenly realized that I have to worry about insurance covering the pregnancy (no socialized medicine). If I were to get pregnant in the summer I would still have my personal school insurance, then the fall semester, I would have to get put as an add on to DH's insurance, through the same company through the school. I thought that would be considered a break in service and therefore when I would transfer to DH's insurance it would be considered a pre-existing condition and therefore not covered.
I went to chat with a representative of the company and this is what she wrote to me...
"It will not make a difference if you are covered under your own coverage and then become a dependent of your husbands as far as whether a pregnancy would be covered....as long as there is not a break in coverage."
That means as long as I am added on within 30 days of my insurance ending, there is no break and I am fully covered!
This insurance company has amazing benifits for maternity. There is only 20% our of pocket cost. That is really good for maternity. You really can't get anything better. It fully covers 2 ultrasounds and 80% on emergency/medically nescesary ultrasounds. This means I can get pregnant whenever DH and I want to when I graduate! I thought that it was good enough news to share.]]> With my change in graduation dates, DH and I have discussed the possibility of getting pregnant Summer of 2010, even though we are still keeping the original date as the latest we will start TTC.

Oh and my placenta is apparently pretty close to the opening of my cervix so I have to get a rescan at 32weeks to see if it will moved. If it doesn't then I will have to get a C-Section. I don't want a CS. The doc said that he's only ever had 1 patient whose didn't move. So, I'm very hopeful.]]>

I will have gotten into my program and started my student teaching before they know, but we think it is better that way...and a good surprise I guess...my mom will be a little pissed off.

I got the IUD in March but I think I might get it taken out. I've been reading about NFP and think I like that idea. Since I got the IUD I have not felt like myself and my period has been slightly irregular but this past time it lasted like 3 weeks then stopped for a day and then started again for a couple of days. Also, especially lately, I just feel this heavy sensation in my uterus area. I don't know if it's knowing that there is the IUD there or what.

Anyone have any experience with this?]]>

I must have pregnancy on the brain because I had to take a picture of this! How funny is it? I think that it is funny the little stick figures string can make. It doesn't make waiting any easier. I just thought I would share.]]>

Zoë Margaret Eliza was born July 3rd at 7:29am. She weighed 3910 grams and was 51cm long. She's an average to large weight but yet she's still so tiny that even preemie clothes barely fit right! A nurse said she has a small bone structure perhaps?

Well anyway.. I had a delivery that couldn't have gone any better than it did. 3-4 pushes and even though I was induced, the gel was enough! I didn't need pitocin! I was so happy for that! I had a great group of people who got me though this and we are on top of the world right now! Sebastian's birth was so traumatic that my husband had been having feelings for weeks that one of us would die in this birth. Glad he was wrong!!!

I'm not online much as I love to just cuddle my princess but wanted to share the announcement!]]>

When I got there, one of the nurses took my blood pressure, weight, urine sample, etc. and then sent me to the waiting room to wait on the doc. The wait was about 45mins.

Then I saw the doc and we chatted about the birthing centre, his involvement, family history, etc. and went to look at the bean, the most exciting part of all.

I'm measuring right on target (8w6d), we had a lovely strong heartbeat AND, the bean was moving around!!!

I said, "Aren't you a bit active for your age?"
The doc said "Yeh" and smiled
Andre said "WOW"

Here are 2 of 3 pics. Sorry they're blurry. I had to take a pic of them with the camera.
