Department of Labor
I think I have finally gotten the unemployment situation straightened out. It was such a pain. Since the feds don't need to report wages to the state, the state unemployment office had no records of me working and therefore won't approve me for unemployment. They requested the necessary info from FEMA, but apparently FEMA is too busy to respond and in 5 weeks hasn't answered a single request. Morons. So, I had to send unemployment paystubs, etc proving that I really did work. They only needed the last paystub from each quarter from June 05 on. Well, the feds don't do anything normal so their quarters don't match up with the rest of the worlds. Just to make sure all bases were covered, I sent every paystub from January 2005 thru September 2006. If unemployment wants to kill me with b/s, then I will give it right back to them. Remember...I am quite proficient at being a government paper-pusher. So anyway, I checked my unemployment claim status on-line today and it looks like they've gotten things worked out. Finally.
Well, in other news, I had my now weekly check up on Tuesday. The doctor was very surprised at what she found. First of all, I lost another pound. I'm back to 6 lbs. total for the pregnancy. I'm not complaining. At the time of the doctor's appointment, I was 35 weeks along. The baby however is measuring 39 weeks. That is out of control! I am now convinced that I'm going to have a whale instead of a baby. The other thing the doctor was surprised about was that I am definitely showing early signs of labor. She said for my first baby, I am way ahead of the curve. YIKES! She gave me permission to go to my grandmother's birthday party, but after this trip on Sunday...I'm am grounded. And by grounded I mean that I can no longer go more than 45 minutes to an hour away from the hospital. The doctor doesn't think that anything is going to happen tomorrow or anything, but essentially it's going to be sooner rather than later. I have another appointment on Tuesday, so we'll see what that brings. I'm terrified, but I'm ready. I'm so tired of being uncomfortable and not for anything...I'm so ready to meet this little (or not so little as the case may be) person that we've been waiting so long for.
