Hello, it's me again. Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Things have been hectic with me.
I had my surgery on last Monday. It went well and I am glad that it was done. It took awhile, but I am just about healed. I still have to wait for one more stitch to come out before I resume some activities. I am having issues with my insurance. They claim the hospital I went to is not participating in their program. But, the hospital claims they are. It's just a paperwork glitch that I assume will be resolved in my favor. But if not I will owe thousands of dollars! It scares me to no end. I am so stressed out. My husband is stressed too. It's really starting to bring me down. I dream about it, which is not a good sign. Everytime I go get the mail, I look for the bill. It's like I am carrying this huge worry around and because of it I can't relax. I try to keep it in perspective, and that we can pay it off slowly with out any consequences, but still.
Then I am worried about Emma and Maddie's party. I had to invite all of our family. Ray's cousin just got divorced and both of them were invited. I'm afraid they will fight as the ex-wife is not handling it well. I'm afraid the husband will want to bring his new girl-friend. Other people in his family don't get along. I just wanted this simple, informal party with about 20 people but it's turned into 60 people.
So, those are my big worries. Other than that. Everything is well. Emma is changing all of the time. She's been crawling for awhile but would always stay put. Now she crawls everywhere and gets into everything. She pulls up onto everything too. She's starting to cruise and is thinking about walking but hasn't mastered that yet. She does everything in her own time. But she will be one in two weeks. I can't believe it. I think she says up and yum, but I need to hear it a few times before I am convinced.
Sorry this has been a downer. ALthough, I wonder if anyone reads this. I wonder how long I will continue writing because I feel like I am on my own. I am sure (or I hope) all of this insurance stuff will be resolved and I can resume back to my upbeat self.
Thanks for reading, if you did.
Jess
