Its going so fast!

I recently signed up for the well-mother program through my insurance. About the only thing it does is make you talk to a registered nurse a few times during your pregnancy. Woo. I wasn't really wanting to do it, since my aunt is a nurse I can call her anytime, and she's always been right, while these nurse hotlines just read a script to you.
However, I found out that if I do it, my insurance waives my hospital daily copay for the first day, so basically I get an extra 200.00. Well now I am excited to do it!
Anyway, they gave me one piece of useful info, and that was when you go for your glucose test, cut out all refined carbs and sugars for two days, and don't eat anything sugary or bread for breakfast before you go to the dr or you will be back for the 3hour test. Good to know!
Anyway, in the paperwork they sent me they had a weekly breakdown (like a journal) and it says that I am in my 7th month. WOW it is going fast! (although Dan doesn't probably agree with that one).
We got GREAT AWESOME news, he got hired on with the same program I am working, which means that he will get a nice pay raise. Also, he got hired for a completely different shift. He will work til midnight or so, and I work til 430, so we will only need childcare about 2-3 hours a day. That is a nice. We will probably get his schedule changed so that we actually get to see each other, but I am sure it will all work out.

Wow that is great about the saving money on your copay.

I can't believe how fast things are going for you, but I'm excited for you too. 7 months, can that be right? Wouldn't that make you due in March instead of May?
