Belly status...15 weeks (aka almost 4 months)!

I remember waaaay back when I used to not be pregnant, I always got annoyed by pregnant people referring to their pregnancy in weeks. And equally annoyed by moms who refer to their baby's age in months (when they're over a year old). I think to myself, you just made me do extra work by having me divide by 4 or 12. Now, I find myself talking in weeks, and even half weeks sometimes. I think its because I'm so excited with each passing day, and each week is like a milestone. So, I apologize in advance...

I am now 15 weeks and things are feeling normal again. Either that or maybe I'm getting used to this whole being pregnant thing. My eating habits are a bit better...I'm not eating as much or getting as hungry. My belly is starting to get bigger and bigger, looking more like a baby belly than a burrito belly.

I know it shouldn't be a shocker...but having a baby is EXPENSIVE. Apparently, having a PPO insurance (what we perceived to be "the best"), is hurting our pocketbook. We received a letter saying that the insurance will cover up to 85% of the charges, and that the delivery fee alone will be about $2,000 out of pocket. After talking to other parents, it seems like HMO was the way to go since some forked out as little as $150 for the delivery. On top of that, I wish we had put more than just $500 towards our flexible spending account.

For those of you fortunate enough to find out that you're pregnant during open enrollment, do your research and choose wisely since luck is on your side.
