Just a quick update as to what’s going on ’round these parts.
1. I’m 16 1/2 weeks along now and successfully got past the barfy stage without ever throwing up! I definitely went through a queasy period and couldn’t eat chicken for weeks, but I’m feeling great now. Energy back, house clean(ish) again.
2. My second appointment with my midwife is tomorrow, so I imagine we’ll schedule my ultrasound then. Jim and I think it’s a girl, Elijah thinks it’s a boy. Most of the time. (If you want to make a guess, we’ve got a baby poll going here.) Can I just vent about the insurance business for a second? Apparently my health insurance won’t pay for a dime of my maternity costs since I’m not going the O.B./hospital route. Going to a midwife and delivering at a birthing center is a fraction of the cost, but they won’t cover it. I did the math and it will be roughly the same out of pocket cost as we paid with Elijah. It’s just incredibly irritating how much we pay for health insurance every month and get so little in return.
3. I just got released from my visiting teaching calling and called as Relief Society secretary. I love the ladies I’ll be working with and was visiting teaching coordinator for over two years (plus a supervisor before that), so I’m looking forward to the change.
Other than that, things have been pretty quiet around here. I haven’t been taking any photos this summer as I’ve been feeling monumentally lazy, but I’m hoping to make better use of the rest of our summer.
