Still Here

I guess I'm eating my words now, aren't I? :) I'm currently *still* pregnant. I really can't believe it.

I had a prenatal on Thursday which made me feel better. I have come to terms with a 1/20 edd instead of 1/16, which makes me 4 days earlier so only 41+3 instead of 42 today. This gives me until Wednesday to reach 42 weeks and then possible other interventions. I was concerned about the baby's position, if there were some reason why baby isn't dropping down further and putting pressure on my cervix or if there's just too much fluid. The midwives both agreed that the fluid level appears to be fine by their palpations (which is a guess) and that baby seems to be positioned fine. They did give me a referral to get a biophysical profile done in case I wanted one. I may go in on Monday if I haven't had the baby by then.

Other excitement is that we don't know if we have health insurance right now. I thought that since dh was home the Army couldn't screw with us anymore, but apparently I was wrong. While he was gone we were on TriCare Standard - the kids and I. I was told by TriCare reps that when dh returned we'd get put on TAMP coverage for 180 days, which gives us time to find our own insurance or enroll in TriCare Reserve Select (which is our plan). I got logged into TriCare online today and it says we are not covered. ??? So now it's Saturday, I could have this baby any time now, TriCare is closed until Monday, and I don't know if I have insurance. Nice, huh? I have been talking with a guy at the Family Assistance Center (who is a gem, I must add), and he's trying to get ahold of his local contact to see if we are indeed covered in TAMP and if not we have to quickly enroll in Reserve Select before I have this baby so we can get the birth paid for. I don't know how the coverage is different for Reserve Select vs TAMP/Standard either, hopefully it's similar so our homebirth will be paid for.

Oh the joys...
