We just got back from my wife's first prenatal visit. We got to see our little baby for the first time on ultrasound it was waving with its stub arm and we could see its little heart flicker. I was so glad to have seen all of this considering the circumstances and stress that have been surrounding this little fellow. All looked good and our midwife was very reassuring.
We also met with Susie, the financial aid lady who was extremely kind. She put us on a self-pay payment plan of a tidy little sum of $300/month for all the prenatal visits. She also gave us Freeman's hospital plan that is just for self-payers and is quite a substantial discount. We also have to have that paid for before we go in to have our baby.
Even though it has been scary with everything that is going on and the uncertainty of our future we do know that the Lord promises to take care of us and to take care of my wife and baby. We sold a vehicle to pay for the hospital bills and maternity leave so even though we are down to one vehicle we are getting by okay!
So I guess this is to be continued for the next seven months as my wife is 10 weeks and 2 days counting......

First off CONGRATULATIONS! Second: once that baby is born you will forget about all the worries and such and be grateful that God has given such a wonderful baby. Which I am sure you already know all this but babies are so wonderful and innicent and have a way of making you forget everything when you are with them and holding them.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again! This is always an exciting time, going to the doctor appointments, and seeing that your baby is growing and healthy. Keep us updated, and please let us know what you are having when you find out.
ReplyDeleteAwww, the first visit is always so exciting and nerve racking. Good luck
