Way too Long Since My Last Post....So Just Some Updates

Hubby and I are working through the paperwork for our adoption.  It is going well, but not as fast as I would like.  It is a lot of calling, and digging around, to find the artifacts that we need.  Having not been born in the state that we live in, adds to the digging around.  I have been able to get the out of state items that we need.  Now I have to make the time to go in person to pick up some of the things that we need from in the state.

On the fertility front, our request for the blood work that we need has been denied by our insurance company.  It is so frustrating, because they really have no real grounds to deny it, except that they are expensive, and don't want to foot the bill.  So luckily our Doc's office called around to get what the cash price would be.  We have the option at this point to fight the insurance company over this, and still potentially have them deny coverage, and spend a lot of time fighting with them, or we can pay for it ourselves, and have it done this week.  The cash price that we were quoted is a lot less than what they quoted us it would be originally.  So we will probably opt to just get the tests done, and pay for it.  Since it is significantly cheaper than we thought, it really is doable for us at this point.  So later this week I am going to call and set up a time for us to go in and get the testing done.  While there I will find out what we need to do to get our doc to fill out our medical form for our adoption.  I really don't know how people who work do this.  I know that most people can only pursue one route, for both financial and emotional reasons.  But even if we were just adopting, or just still doing fertility treatments, I don't know how people do it and work.  Adoption paperwork could be a full time job.  Fertility treatments are more than a full time job.  I can't imagine working a whole lot more than I am now, and trying to get any of this done!

On my hobby front, I have gotten back on track and all caught up with clipping and organizing my coupons.  I went shopping today with my mom, and was able to get 6 big packs of diapers for $3.49 each.  Crazy cheap price!  For that price, I will start stocking up now, and not have to worry about paying full price for diapers, once we are home with our little one!  I bought big enough sizes, so I know that they will fit at some point...and if not, there are always friends and charities to give them to.  I love coupons!
