3rd Trimester!

Today I am 28 weeks, officially starting my 3rd trimester. 12 more weeks and little Isabella will be joining us! To celebrate, I registered us for some classes. And the best part, my insurance covers the childbirth class! That's a $100 savings! September and October are going to be busy months. Sept 17 is my cousin's wedding, Sept 25 is my baby shower my mom is throwing, Oct 1 we're doing the childbirth class, Oct 2 is my baby shower my MIL is throwing, Oct 5 we're taking a class (baby basics), Oct 17 & 19 we're taking an infant CPR class, and then end of the month I go on maternity leave, go to NH for a wedding, and have a bridal shower. All other travel plans have been cancelled until after Isabella is here, and not sure how long after we'll start travelling again.

I sat down today and went through all of my bills that have built up this year. Wow, there's a lot. I now have (finally!) the information for Maine Care so I can get the information to the various places that have sent me bills so they can bill them, and then rebill me if needed. I am hoping that Maine Care will cover everything, but I don't know if they will. A couple of the bills, including the ER visit, was all pre-Maine Care coverage. The ER visit was only 2 days before so I'm hoping I can get them to cover it, otherwise it's $500 out of pocket. And I haven't received the bills from the glucuse tests that I just had done. Having a baby is extreamely expensive, even with insurance.
