Trudy - I'm not "official" yet, so I can't get anything from the state. I should be granted "temporary legal guardianship" soon, which will give me those rights.
Ugh.
It might (this likely varies by state, naturally) be worth looking into what WILL be available once you are and the possibilities of them taking care of it retroactively -- Mom had FS for a while "unofficially" for a while and I think they were able to tweak some things (what with being in the instability business and all).
WoooHooo! I think I figured it out. I feel all grown up and shit.
Of course, because I'm late in signing up, my coverage doesn't start till February 1, but it looks like MassHealth will cover me until then. Whew. That was a stressful morning. I'm hungry. Think I'll go get some french fries.
WoooHooo! I think I figured it out
YAY!!!
See? You are the Bug that could!
I have a letter from BlueCross/BlueShield saying that my amnio wasn't really covered by my insurance and I owe them money...it's been sitting on my desk for a couple weeks. Looks like it's "Deal With Healthcare Insurance" time, so I guess I'll be an adult and open it.
I'm

close to making my own crib linens. I've canvassed the entire internet, and only found maybe 5 sets that might work in Mal's room. The few sets that have the right kind of color (strong jewel tones) are very girly, with roses and peonies and such.
What I really want is a set of Jolly Roger sheets, or maybe King Arthur.
Raq, had you seen these? [link]

And here's a pretty one, with gorgeous colors: Serenghetti
Ooh, I love that one, Deena.
I do too Brenda. I wish I'd thought of being that creative with the babies. Their sheets are all yellow flannel and their blankets are fleece.
Here's one with pirates and castles. It's very colorful. [link]
edit: Thinking of fleece, here's an e-bay auction for 2 yards of jolly roger fleece (red skull/black background). I usually make a plenty big enough for baby blanket with a yard and a half.

Grrrrrrr.
I spoke with the dental office and they are all apologies, but gosh, even though I asked them to check on the insurance before hand, they are only there is assist me, it is still my responsibility. Or her father's. Ummm, hello - if dad was responsible, I wouldn't have the kid.
They are willing to take $50 a month and wave the interest. Which, I guess is reasonable. But still...that will take over 2 years to pay off.
It is so frustrating because I love this dentist and they did do good work on C and deserve to be paid for said work.
I may call her lawyer and ask if there is anything else I can do. I just hate having this be about money.
