My Second Pre-Natal Visit

After the insurance was approved I was then assigned to a specific doctor and to another clinic. A little far from home but I found a good way to get there not using the freeways but the inner roads. That way hubs won't worry about me driving alone. It's better to be extra careful now that I am carrying our baby. It's time for my second doctor visit and this time I met my new OB-GYN Dr. Vallejo of West Valley Medical Tully Center. A little from home but the facility is really good, be the judge! I snapped some photos this time around (September 15).

Since this visit was scheduled ahead hubs was able to note it at work and went with me. We were hoping for an ultrasound but not this time =( Too bad we're eager to see baby together. So how was the visit? Good! We were so happy with our doctor, she's so nice and very warm. She made us feel so comfortable. Checked me thoroughly and set some blood tests that I need to do.

We spent the whole morning there and good thing my husband noted he'll be back 1pm or else he'll be late. I postponed the bloodtest which was the 1hr glucose test for sugar testing for the next day since we were given an Ultrasound schedule. I decided to take it the same day so he won't be late for his half day work. So off we go around 11:30 and just dropped the prescription given to me for next day's pick up too. we decided to eat lunch together at Wendy's before he goes to the office. My day out didn't end there, before going home I even went to the department store to check out some maternity clothes and a gift for my dear husband for his birthday =)

Answered Prayers

We're so happy that finally we get to confirm my pregnancy and we even saw baby for the first time. It was a very overwhelming feeling. All I want is to be a mom someday and that time has finally came. Still we're hanging with the insurance so we felt like not proclaiming the good news just yet.

After that check-up, we were able to get the pregnancy certification that's very much needed for the processing of insurance so I fixed all papers and mailed it in fast the next day. We felt like we're running out of time and we had to do thing really in a snap. No time to waste to stake on our baby's health. It was noted with the downloaded handbook for AIM that wait period for approval will be around 10days. That 10days feels like so long for excited soon-to-be parents like us but we had to be patient with everything. We were literally counting days from the time we received the confirmation notice that our docs were received. That made us more anxious actually.

Nearly 10 days and there, we had our prayers answered! Finally a feedback from AIM saying I was approved for the insurance and coverage starts by September 5. Great! It felt like a thorn was taken out of our heart, now we know we're secured until I give birth plus baby will be covered once applied a month before due date. Aside from the coverage, I was assigned to an OB-Gyn so all I needed to do was to wait for other papers from the insurance provider for an immediate check-up appointment. There were still certain procedures that I had to follow, lots of calls and all but I need not to expound on those things.

I want to thank you all for your prayers and support!
