I just got a call b/c the baby DR. told me to register online at the hospital, etc... Well, they called to let me know they got the papers and I need to sign them and at first she was saying I needed to bring 750.00 for our deductable and then we would have to pay the rest our Bluecross is 80/20. I was in tears....I am already scared I won't have enough time to get everything done just for baby basics let alone have money like that. I haven't been working, I have been in school and will go back to school as soon as possible so we can have extra money in cases like this. Anyway, I don't know if any of you remember in 2005 I really thought I was preg. had all of the symptoms. I mean all of them, but I was not and in going to the doctor for that they found out I had grade 4 bad cells and did a surgery at this hospital. I didn't know I owed 1800.00 for a while I was getting letters and at the top it would say THIS IS NOT A BILL and go on to say what they charged my ins. Now, I believe and trust them that I do owe it, I had two teeneagers at home in 2005 I didn't get a lot of my mail or phone calls between them. Anyway, I am freaking out and telling her I don't have anything saved toward this that I just found out and my due date is August 12th or I would have known about the outstanding bill sooner and worked on payments toward that, etc... In the END she FINALLY says you can have your baby here, but tomorrow go apply for medicade it takes about 30 days for an answer.....I tell her again I don't have 30 days left, she says I know, but I am putting it in the computer to refer to medicade and you won't have to bring any money with you when you arrive. That is good, I may still owe but, I can work on that....main thing I wanted to know was that wouldn't keep my baby b/c I owe them.....she just laughed and said no I was welcomed thre.....at first she was being kinda mean, but was very nice later in the conversatin. Man, I haven't been on medicade since I was 15 its kinda weird going back to that office after all these years. Shane works so hard everyday and always provides for us and puts us first. I hate telling him I have to go apply for medicade, but seems like there is no other choice right now and time to figure it out. I am still trying to get diapers and bottles, crib sheets....jsut basic stuff not dream stiff like a stoller I fell in love with....lol I just know its going to sale out b/c they clearenced them to 140.00 for the whole travel system. However, I am VERY blessed. I was able to borrow a stroller in case I can't get that one in time, I was given a BEAUTIFUL cherry wood bed that coverts into 3 types, and I got A LOT of help cleaning the house and Shane finished painting Maya's room and will move her in tonight so there are SO many blessing being poured on me, this just really scared me b/c the lady was talking like I couldn't come to the hospital if I didn't have the min. of 750.00

Sorry for the long post....I am so worried about thing right now, I had to post this out

Hugs,
