I think all the bills are in now from having Jackson. Grand total.....about $2500. I am really thankful for insurance but geez... I really wish I felt like that money taken out each month went to something more. So I guess I better start making phone calls and getting set up on payment plans.
Then to make life even better I go to my dr appt the other day to get my IUD and the lady asked if I filled out a form and what not. I had no clue what she was talking about. At my dr's old office it was like $137 I think. Which I had at the time because we weren't in as much debt yet. But they told me nothing this time so I figured it'd be billed and I could put it on my tab so to speak. Yeah, no... she got on the phone with my insurance to figure out what my portion would be. Oh only $273 and some change. And I was expected to pay that then and there. Are you kidding me? Ha! If only I had that kind of pocket change. So I told her I couldn't do it and I could tell she felt really bad that someone at some point didn't follow through and let me know before I came in. So I basically showed up for nothing. She did tell me there was one pill form of birth control I could take while nursing but I swear the pills always make me nauseated so I said no thanks. Then she called me a little later and said she had faxed my info to this CVS something or other they order the mirena from. She said they might be able to cover it or something. So to look out for a call from them. Sadly they couldn't do much better. They did bring the price down to only $250... only ;)
Not gonna lie... kinda bummed. We're gonna pray for no surprises :) But I'm not sure how willing I am to fork that kind of money over right now. I think I'd rather pay off these other bills quicker. The joys of having a baby. So wonderful until those darn bills come in. Oh well. We got through it before. Although we did have some assistance from an inheritance from my great uncle when he passed away. But Scott is working way more hours now than he was then so that should help. And we are just enjoying our little man. He is just so cute and such a great baby. And he gets blessed tomorrow. Just in time. He hardly fits in his blessing suit! He's gotten so big! And what's kinda cool is he's being blessed on the same day of my 6 yr anniversary of receiving my endowment in the temple. So that's kind of a cool day to share with him.
But anyway, boo to bills and boo to ridiculously expensive IUD's. And yay to seeing family tomorrow! Tomorrow will be a good day.

I don't even remember what day I got my endownments out! I should look that up because that would be cool to share! See you soon!!
You may want to try the mini-pill. It doesn't have both hormones as the regular pill, so you may not be affected by it. Post some pictures from the blessing soon!!!
