When my first was born (4 yrs ago) one of our friends had a similar insurance issue and I believe she was directed to the health dept. It is definitely something to check into at least! Good luck - I know that must be frustrating. :)Holly Parliernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-17189456855927588142012-03-03T19:39:06.533-05:002012-03-03T19:39:06.533-05:00I'm so glad she took the bottle!

I didn't start ours until she was 3 weeks, but I actually wish I had started sooner. It's nice to get a break every now and then (and our girl still isn't into much of a routine, so it's a huge relief).Cat W.http://twitter.com/windmill_catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-21249449443159143482012-03-03T09:30:45.262-05:002012-03-03T09:30:45.262-05:00Such a cutie baby!Such a cutie baby!Lieselmmhttp://littlelovesoflife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-82288340544267787242012-03-02T22:27:56.477-05:002012-03-02T22:27:56.477-05:00 Jen, my husband is a Purdue Ph.D. student but his... Jen, my husband is a Purdue Ph.D. student but his advisor left Purdue for a school here over the summer. If we had stayed and switched advisors, it would have taken much longer for him to graduate, so instead we moved here. He was already done with his classes, so that wasn't a problem. He is technically still a Purdue student (paid by Purdue, graduating from Purdue) but is doing his research in his advisors lab here. <br /><br />We just applied for Lucia to get state insurance. We qualify because of our low income, but I'm not sure if we are eligible since we have other insurance for her.

The only reason ours works is that I have a kid who is also covered by Medicaid and he kills our $2100/person deductible pretty quickly with Medicaid paying what insurance doesn't. (He's eligible for Medicaid through SSI.) I'd definitely look into your county board of health for vaccinations because they'll usually have the necessary ones and for cheaper than your family practice doctor will. There also might be some state well-child thing that will cover it as well.<br /><br />#6: How are you affiliated with Purdue if you are living in North Carolina?jenhttp://grace-filled.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-81247311722976124332012-03-02T21:03:22.900-05:002012-03-02T21:03:22.900-05:00Enjoy your yoga time!

We are on grad student insurance too, and while annoying, it's not as stingy as Purdue's. I hope that you are able to get on better insurance before Lucia's 6-month appointment. Doesn't it figure that our government is bound and determined to make contraception free, but not medical care for children?<br />That's such a cute picture! She's adorably roly (and healthy)!Louisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-69121449216172733692012-03-02T09:58:45.367-05:002012-03-02T09:58:45.367-05:00Prayers for you with all the insurance mess!

We had about 6 month with my school insurance some crappy cover for a few month insurance for Steven and it was so stressful just hoping nothing happened. His job now has the best insurance and I am so thankful for it now. <br /><br />As always, what a cutie!!

One blogger I follow has mentioned a few things about having a baby with not-great insurance http://papuagirlindallas.blogspot.com/2011/12/circumcision-flu-shots-and-birthing.html and my doctor told me to try a public clinic for vaccines. Even though I have good insurance, non-pediatricians apparently don't carry vaccines that are typically given to children, even though adults such as myself may need them (my parents were anti-vac so now I'm trying to catch up with the ones I think are reasonable). Anyway, it might be worth looking into. And as a taxpayer, I'd much, much rather be paying for your baby's vaccines than contraception! <br /><br />And three cheers for getting back into yoga!

There are some things that are not covered that I shake my head at... but well child appointments and immunizations? That makes me so mad! Her rolls and chub couldn't possibly be cuter!!!
