Expensive

Having a baby is expensive. And I mean all the stuff before the baby comes. I have insurance but it only covers a percentage of everything. I have to cover the rest. The bills are coming in, and we're up to $900 so far in out of pocket expenses. I have no idea how we're going to cover any of it. My ultrasound alone was over $400 and I have another one coming in September. I guess I never really thought of just how expensive the medical aspect of having a baby could be. And all of this is only with monthly checkups. Can't wait to see the bills when I have to go more often. One good thing, I did get a letter in the mail saying that I have temporary MaineCare coverage, and I will know by July 31 if I will have full coverage. If they give it to me, then all my expenses will be paid. I just have to wait and see.

Positive note: Nursery is coming along. We decided on making wooden letters to spell out her name. We painted them purple and decorated with ribbon and glitter. I love the way they came out! Here's a picture:
