Signed, Witnessed, and FAxed!

I have sooooo many forms to fill out!  Taxes.  Insurance.  More insurance.  More insurance.  Bills.  Waivers. Releases.  Oh my!  Then I get to the end of HUGE forms and it says "this complies with the paperwork reduction act."  Excuse me?  How long were these forms before they passed that act?

My husband recently started his own law firm.  (He's a patent attorney.)  The amount of paperwork to get Seraph's Insurance switched over is just staggering!  Then, just when I thought it was all worked out, the new company gave notice that it's their annual open enrollment, so we have to fill out new forms!  Oh my!!

I think I'm just about done with forms for a while.  *knock on wood*

Despite all the extra stress, we had a great weekend.  Gma & Gpa & cousin S came over to watch the Super Bowl. (great game - even though I was cheering for the Colts.)  Haqon's brother (who had an unexpected night lost in the snowy mountains) was found alive and unharmed :), friends from church visited.  Usually I'm exhausted and crabby by Sunday night.  This weekend I felt refreshed and optimistic for the first time in months!  I'm not sure how it happened, but I hope we can have a repeat next weekend.

...don't send me any more forms!  I'm on break!! ~~~~~

Hospital - Day 16

My insurance, after speaking with my doctor and reviewing the Heyborne study, has generously agreed to continue to cover my inpatient care. Everyone told me not to worry ....but it was too hard. But now I'm really happy - such a relief :)

The Heyborne study is like a trump card for monoamniotic/monochorionic(momo) moms. It's goal was to find the optimal care for momo patients. It compared inpatient care to outpatient care. In a nutshell, there were zero fetal deaths in the inpatient care side and 40% fetal deaths on the outpatient side. Also, the inpatient group tended to carry their babies closer to term resulting in shorter nicu stays and better overall health for the babies.

As my tummy gets bigger and bigger, I can't help but imagine what it was like back in the days when you found out you were having twins when the second baby was born. !!! People still managed to have twins, but my twins wouldn't have been ok. Even having the technology to be aware of BabyB's heart defect before birth has been a blessing.
