Insurance Woes and Worries

I called Insure New Mexico call center today about Autumn's future health insurance. They were no help at all. I have Pres State Coverage. So I asked them how the process goes about for getting the baby insurance before she comes so that the her first appts are covered and I can get her a pediatrician. They said you can't. That was it: "you can't apply until you have the baby's social security number and birth certificate." Um...that won't be for about a month after she's born! Hello! What do I do in the mean time? "Go to the appts and if you are approved for medicaid/premium coverage for kids then we'll have back pay." If not... "You have to pay the bills out of pocket." As if! (Such a 90s phrase, but at that moment I wanted to say it. I did not, however, say it.) I just hung up the phone instead, after saying thank you. (For nothing went through my mind.) I can't get her a pediatrician without insurance. I can't do anything without insurance. So, when I go to my next WIC (women, infants, children food program) appt, I'll ask to see the woman there who works with medicaid. Maybe she will be able to give me more answers or help me with the process. My friend has medicaid for her baby and she said she had it the moment he needed it, so the logic is just a little off base somehow.
Funny that yesterday in church my pastor talked about anxiety. He said that in the United States 3% of Americans have an anxiety disorder. In New Mexico, 11-14% have an anxiety disorder. Do we have to wonder why when we have to deal with 1. stupid drivers, 2. people shooting people in a movie theatre (happened the other day), and 3. just dumb people in general? I find that God always gives me the message I need to hear...quite clearly. Well, I will give my anxieties to God. He will take care of everything. In the mean time, if anyone has any advice, I would welcome it.

Update

Since my last post was over 3 months ago, I figured I should give some sort of update. Although I'm sure most of you know all of my updates, I'll still give them in a short run down. Pregnancy is going fine. I am currently 8 months. I have mixed feelings about it being over soon. I do not want the back pain, leg cramps, and heartburn anymore. But I really do enjoy feeling the baby kick and how healthy it has made me the past seven months. For those of you who don't know, I struggle with IBS and I haven't had to worry about it the whole time I've been pregnant. And it is so nice! I really can't wait to meet Autumn Grace though! So, those are my current feelings.
I had placenta previa for a short time, but the placenta moved and everything is going great now. Autumn is a small baby, but hey...look at me, friends. I'm tiny too. And her daddy isn't a chunky monkey either. But we continue to get an ultrasound every month just to check her growth patterns. Autumn's room is almost all set up. Although a lot of stuff was given to me, there is a ton more that is needed. And that's what baby showers are for! lol! My baby shower is about a month away. The invitations should be coming out soon. And I'm stoked! I remember hosting a baby shower for my friend Maria. It was so much fun! The best shower ever! It looked like fun opening a ton of gifts that are not for me, but for the baby who would arrive soon.
Anyways, other updates: I graduated with my Certificate in Baking. I know I'm going to miss going to classes. I already do. With a baby coming soon, I'm not even attempting taking classes this semester. But maybe in a year or so, I'll go back. I've been praying about it and I honestly haven't felt God speak to me about a yay or a nay. So, we'll play it by ear.
Okay, my dog is begging me for breakfast so I had better quit. I just wanted to give updates to those few of you who read my blog. Sorry it took so long for anything to come out of it.
