I think I've hit mass capacity for stress and now even my "problem-solver" brain is too tired to think of anything. I thought my medicaid coming through so fast would solve all the problems I couldn't figure out how to solve. Then today I found out that with my medicaid how it is currently set up I can't have the baby at McKay-Dee hospital--the only place Dr. Swift can do VBACs.
The lady I talked to in the medicaid office was so kind--she is trying to make it so my medicaid is unaffiliated with a specific insurance carrier for the month of December so I can go to McKay-Dee, but the chances are slim. She's calling me back next week. I have an appointment with Dr. Swift tomorrow and I'll double-check with him about VBAC options.
After that. What?? Switch doctors? What doctor is going to take a high-risk medicaid patient who wants a VBAC three weeks before she's due? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Could my nerves handle switching doctors?
The logical conclusion is to give in gracefully and have the c-section. Unfortunately, that's the conclusion that leads to tears and feelings of complete dejection. And massive chocolate eating--which has pretty much stopped helping.
Pray for that medicaid lady to be able to pull some sort of magic rabbit out of her hat for me.

Oh, I am praying right now for you. Hang in there. The Lord will allow the COMPLETELY right decision to be made. Have faith. : D
Andrea - get a babysitter, get out of the house, go to the temple and afterwards go get some warm chocolate dessert at a restaurant where you can hold your husbands hand and take a deep breath...this may be your last chance for a while...you're in my prayers...bb
Whatever happens will be o.k.
I don't know what your're feeling, but I can relate with not wanting to have a c-section. I can promise you that the second one is soooooo much better than the first. You are able to get up and around a lot faster, less pain and all around, it's just so much easier than the first c-section.
I am sooo sorry for you and all that you guys are going through. You are all in our prayers and I am certain that all will work out for the best. Love you guys.
Hi, I'm a little blog stalker from Kami's blog. :D (We were good friends in Sanford.) I love popping into your blog, and reading your super funny stories. I guess I have become a blog stalker of most of your family, haha :D
My heart and prayers go out to you, and all I can think to tell you is to not lose Hope! I just gave a lesson in Relief Society on Elder Uchtdorf's talk about The Infinite Power of Hope, and it has definitely helped me as we go through some of the same trials, Job issues, children, etc., and I have learned so much from it, that I thought maybe it will help you too! :D
Now completely off topic, seeing how your son loves cowboy things, I came across a website the other day with some somewhat pricey cowboy slippers that were soo adorable!! My mom has a pair and they are incredibly durable slippers, with a rubber sole bottom. They're called Kickers. Just thought you might want to check them out. Avg. price is $22 for children's, soo maybe Black Friday will have some better deals on them. Here's a link http://www.montanasilversmiths.com/categoryproducts.aspx?toplvl=277&catid=277&subcat=277&subcat1=278&catprods=278
Good luck with everything!! I know the Lord is aware of you and your family, and has a Plan for everything, and it will all work out! :D (If you wanna peak at my blog just email your address to blakeandhanah at msn dot com :D It's fine if you don't, hopefully you don't mind me peeking at yours. :D hee hee)
