Visit with the Doctor.. part duex!

We had our second meeting with the doctor today.  It went great.  We now know the schedule of visits to the doctor.  Once a month for the first 7 months, then once every other week, and finally once a week when we are ready for our bundle of joy.

Ericka is doing great, and looking great.  She has gained 8 pounds that I am really sick and tired of hearing about.  I understand she wants to maintain her figure, but baby has got to eat ya know.  Her blood work went great.  Hope that keeps all the families up to date on what is going on.

We heard the heartbeat.  WOW!  I have no idea what the baby is doing down there but that is some quick heart rate.  It is dancing salsa or preparing to run a marathon.  It was sooo fast.

This meeting was much quicker and easier than the last.  I feel like we are starting to know what to expect and the schedule.  That helps out a lot.

We then met with the insurance lady.  This is where they take you to a separate room and tell you how much it costs to have a baby in the United States.  I would like to move to the Ukraine.  Kids are expensive.  Doctors are expensive.  Doctors delivering kids is just as expensive as a tornado headed right for a trailer in Alabama.  You know the mix is right for losses yet you still stand there, with the camera, shocked.

It is expensive.  We have insurance.. YAY!  it is actually very affordable (BTW, isn't it illegal, you know selling babies?  What if I do not pay the doctor what will they do take the kid back?).  Open letter to democrats.  If you think it will be as cheap to have a kid, or quality healthcare, once we have national healthcare you are STUPID!  The care will be worse, and private insurance will be 10X more expensive.

So we are all set both physically and financially with the doctor.  Now we just wait and see what else happens.
