Alright, Mr. Malcolm. I'm ready! I technically have 2.5 days left until I'm 37 weeks (aka, full term) but he's measuring a week ahead. So I'm ready. I'm sooooo ready.
Today was so stressful. It really made me realize how much work our health care system needs. I won't go into all the boring details but I'll just say that Garrett and I have not had a chance catch up, financial for years.
Hardly anything was covered through infertility treatments. We knew and accepted this. We gave up traveling and vacations so we could pursue treatments. Then when we finally get pregnant, we have the most expensive, high risk pregnancy known to man. Then I get pregnant unexpectedly, which is automatically high risk. Plus the other issues I experienced during this pregnancy ate much of our money...not to mention I haven't been able to work much of this pregnancy and a lot of the last one too. And the icing on the cake? I went to try and get me teeth fixed today and found out that it's going to be at LEAST $2000...out of pocket. Probably going to be closer to $5000. Who has that kind of effing money?!
Siiiggghhhhh....
This is another reason why I'm getting my tubes tied. People ask me if I'm sure I'm done or they'll tell me I'll change my mind but I won't. Because not only do I make a terrible pregnant person, but we want to be able to provide comfortably for our boys. And we'll be able to do that once we "catch up" on the last 9 years. I know there will always be financially setbacks but we are completely depleted right now.
It just shouldn't be this hard to make ends meet. Somethings gotta give...
So, Malcolm, mommy is ready when you are. I think you'll be cheaper to take care of once you are on the outside.
