My drama with the insurance company change in coverage of generic Zofran (here and here) appears to have gone to a new level. The B6 works, but not as good as I was hoping it would – I’ve had some massive throwing up this week and due to too much nausea today almost got dehydrated because of feeling so horrible. My mom did her Mom Guilt Trip enough at me to call up Dr. M’s to figure out what I could do. The nurse at Dr. M’s will be calling the insurance company to (hopefully) get them to approve my full dosage of generic Zofran. She also wasn’t sure if they would get the approval done in the next 6 weeks.

Even though the B6 took the edge off, I just can’t live day by day, wondering “will today be the day that I need to call Greg home from work because I can’t stop throwing up?” Even on the day when I was throwing up, I didn’t take a Zofran because I was afraid I’d really need it later. I can’t live like that. :-/

Moving away from insurance wank/drama/throwing up; we have found Godparents for Little One. YAY! Now all that’s left is to schedule the Baptism. ::insert happy dance here::

My mom has this ability to hear things I can’t – mainly when her wash machine is on the rinse cycle (so she could send me down to put a capful of fabric softener in it). I’m happy to say that I’ve developed that insane sense of hearing – no matter where I am in the house, I can hear the mailman in his mailtruck down the street. It’s very handy as he doesn’t deliver the mail at a set time – he came at 12:30 for example; when he usually delivers about 2 hours later. It must be a mom thing.

I received Lisa Hendey’s new book today. First impressions: it’s surprisingly thick. That’s a good thing, mind you.

The nurse called back (can you tell that I’ve been writing this post all.day.long – gotta love life with a toddler) and while I don’t have an authorization (yet), she does have the ~*~paperwork~*~ for Dr. M to fill out. Basically, they’ll be handling the insurance company for me – YAY! – so I’m hoping that this will expedite the process than if I had to get the paperwork and do the process on my own.

For the “can I see your belly?” enthusiasts, here’s a picture from today at 34 weeks (and 1 day). 
Pretty soon, I’ll have my own zip code!

Thank you! With Elise, I had morning sickness for the first trimester and then occasionally until 17 weeks. Both me and my OB are at a loss as to why I’m so sick this time around. I have my hypotheses, but I’m not sure how accurate it is. Maybe in time I’ll figure it out.
Aww, gotta love the belly! And I can totally relate to #3 and #6 being a continuing story, my posts sometimes take a few days to write!
Wow, I have never been sick that long! With my first I thought I would be, I thru up all day long every day until 22 weeks when it suddenly went away.
With my second and third pregnancies I was never that sick, I only thru up a few times a day and it went away by 20 weeks. My theory is that its because I was stil breastfeeding? I can’t think of any other reason it would have gotten better.
Hope your situation gets resolved! Its miserable to be that sick.
