cmskok: I despise
Walmart too. Unfortunately, we live in the middle of nowhere and are kind of stuck with it for most shopping :/ . I had a VERY rude checker there the other day who told me I should have waited until I finished school to get pregnant (I look really young sometimes), couldn't use food stamps for my purchases, and had no business owning dogs (I bought the bulldog puppy a non-tipping water bowl). I told her (not that it's any of her business) that I'm 27, married, have a MA, have never used food stamps, and have happy, healthy dogs. Crazy rude people. LOLQUOTE]
Sadly, this doesn't surprise me at all, but I have to ask, how it the world did all of this come up in the check-out line?
I have no idea what set her off, other than just looking at me (and I grunted once because I lifted something wrong to put it up on the conveyer belt...) I guess she thought I needed her advice. I live in an area where this actually isn't that unusual, people here love to judge others and tell them about their findings
Have you called your insurance company about this? It seems really high for a deductible... Fighting with the insurance company has become my favorite pastime! I'm thinking I'm pretty good at it because I've won ALL of them. All the billing mistakes really drive me crazy and it disgusts me to think of how many people just pay them because they are scared of the consequences for not paying them.
Good for you! I hate my insurance. I always get things that say "this is not a bill. Do not send payment". Then nothing, until a few months later when I recieve collection notices for not paying the "bill"
I would have paid if I had known I was supposed to!
I plan on getting an itemized bill from the hospital. It just seems insanely high. They didn't do much of anything but run a flu test, check my vitamin levels, and give me some salt water. And for this I give them $3 grand?
That is insane. I hope something can get worked out.
Thanks for everyones concerns and wishes. The whole time I was laying in that hospital bed I was wishing and hoping they would just induce me. I'm so close anyway what difference does it make?! If nothing starts happening soon, I'm going to get kind of irritated. I'm having contractions now but they're SOOOO far apart! I have an OB appt Wed if I don't have her before then and maybe at that point he'll schedule something, but I kind of doubt it. For a guy who was worried about the size of my baby before, he's kind of relaxed about when I have her. It's my understanding the longer she's in me...the bigger she'll get! I'll let you all know how it goes!
I hope they figure something out for you! You are so close anyway!
We bought the crib last night! I am super excited! We went to a store about an hour from us that carries the ones we were choosing between, and I am so, so glad we did, because I absolutely despised the one we liked online when I saw it in person.
It looked like a really cheap-o crib, and I thought it shouldn't for the price. We looked around at some others, and they had a floor model for a Natart crib that converts to a daybed and a twin sleigh bed they were wanting to sell for half of the origional prcie, with the conversion kit included. It was WAY out of our price range at full prcie, and still just a little more than we wanted to spend on sale, but it is a beautiful (I think!), well-built piece of furniture and since it will convert we went for it! We are going to pick it up on friday!
DH will have to move the last of the furniture out of that room so I can deep clean the floors before we bring it in
Here's a link to the crib on the mfgs web site. We purchased it in "cognac" out of the colors on the bottom:

Have a great day everyone!
then he told me that he still wanted me to stay until at least 6 just to see if I make any progress. So at that time I was allowed to eat and get out of bed. I didn't have to be constantly on the monitors. Except right before 6 when the nurse came in to check on my DD to make sure she was alright...then found out that I wasn't
I'm itching to take it out of the box.
