Advice, please?

So here is my dilemma: I finally got a hold of Medicaid, and they haven't even looked at my file yet. But my presumptive eligibility is up because 45 days has passed. So right now, I have no insurance coverage. If I get approved for Medicaid, they will pay any back bills. My dr.'s office is great and working with me; if I haven't heard anything by my next appointment, they will make me pay a $500 deposit, which I will get back if I get approved. The only problem is now my prescriptions are not covered. I'm good on my phenegran, but I only have 19 Zofran left. Medicaid said they would probably look at my file next week, but it could be 3-4 weeks before we hear back. So I decided to cut back on my Zofran and only take 1 a day. I've been taking it around noon, but today I threw up breakfast and dinner. So this is my question: do any of you have any suggestions at all? Should I take it in the morning and just plan on having a crappy night? Should I take it later in the afternoon and have a crappy morning/mid-day? Should I continue taking it around noon? I don't know. Please let me know what you think. I'm open for any suggestions.

It can only get better, right?

This morning was not a good morning. By noon, I was ready to crawl in bed. With a very demanding 2 year old, that is not possible. I guess it all started yesterday. I applied for Medicaid back in November and they had 45 days to get back to me. 45 days was up on Monday, and I still hadn't received anything saying yay or nay, so I tried to call and see what was going on. I'm convinced the workers for Colorado state have no clue what is going on. I left 3 voice mails last night, I asked for them to call me back this morning because I had a dr.'s appointment at 10:30. So, this morning, I tried again to get a hold of someone. I called the county, they said to call the health department. I called the health department, was on hold for 20 minutes, they told me to call the county. Called the county back, finally got a hold of one woman willing to help, (after I had to convince the operator that I really did need to talk to the county) she gave me another number to call. I call the number and it has been disconnected. Tried to call the lady back 3 times, no success. So I left more voice mails. And big surprise, no one has called me back yet. This all happened before 10:00 am.
I rush to the dr. and somehow get there on time. They inform me I need to find out what's going on by the end of the week, or they'll have to set me up on a payment plan. Then they take my weight; I've gained 9 lbs. even though I'm still super nauseous and throwing up. How is that even possible? 9 lbs in one month!??! Then my dr. comes in. She asks me how I'm feeling. I've actually been feeling really good the last 3 days. Then it's time to hear the baby's heartbeat. After 15 minutes of trying to find it, she leaves to go find the ultrasound technician. She keeps telling me "there is nothing to worry about, but we need to hear a heartbeat before you leave." The only thing going through my head is "I've been feeling good because I've lost the baby." I wait 20 long minutes for the ultrasound technician. In the meantime, a nurse and someone else poke their heads in the room to tell me not to worry, this happens all the time. If it happens all the time, why does the whole office know and why are they all trying to re-assure me? I finally get in for the ultrasound, and almost immediately I hear the most wonderful sound: that tiny heartbeat, 154 bpm. Apparently the baby is very low, hiding behind my pelvic bone. But it looks great. Everything is measuring right on time. I even forgot to take my Zofran this afternoon and almost threw up. I've never been so grateful for that feeling. Only 4 more weeks til we find out if we'll be staying with pink, or trying to find some blue. In the meantime, I will welcome my "morning (day and night) sickness" with open arms.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I'm still pretty sick. Most people respond well to Zofran. My doctor wants me to start taking Zofran and Phengran together. Hopefully this will help. I'm getting really tired of being on the couch all the time. I would like to clean my house, do some laundry, and play with poor, neglected Maicee. I would like to blog about Maicee's 2nd birthday, her pink "futterfly" cake, and Thanksgiving. If I start feeling better soon, I will do some more blogging. But for now, being super sick is my excuse.

It's official!

We had our first doctor's visit today, I got my prescription for Zofran, so I feel completely comfortable announcing that baby #2 is on the way! Maicee is super excited to be a big sister! The little one should be here June 20, 2011, hopefully sooner so Dan can be here when it is born.

Maicee's Horse

Dan decided the other day to be a creative dad, and made Maicee and himself some stick horses out of some pvc pipe and old socks. Maicee just loves them! I love her sound affects!

Colorado is good!

Last Saturday was a really good day. We woke up, went on our normal Saturday morning hike through the trail in our "front yard", showered, I dropped Dan of at school so he could look at some dead bodies, and Maicee and I headed over to Jared and Tracie's. When the girls got up from their naps, we (Dan, Maicee, and I, Tracie, Kerrigan and boys, and Tim and Livvy and boys) went to a pumpkin patch. It was so much fun! They had a little hay jump that the kids could play on, a snake tunnel, a corn maze, and a little petting zoo. We all had a blast. Maicee even got to bring home a little pumpkin.
Be prepared for picture overload!!!

Proof that Jace was there!

Pictures of our new house! and some Halloween...

I haven't posted pictures yet because my house is never as clean as I would like it to be for pictures. I decided it probably never will be since I have an almost 2 year old. So here are some pictures!

This is our living room. Behind the blinds is a large patio area.

This view is from the front door. To the right is the kitchen, straight ahead the living room. You can kind of see the dining room area through the kitchen.

And to the left is the pantry(which was a coat closet, so we converted it), guest bathroom, and all the stairs.

This picture is right outside of Maicee's room looking down the stairs.

That's enough pictures for now. Next time I'll post pics of our room and the downstairs area.
