Jenga - I just got back from lunch and saw your post.  I was on the internet checking it out when the phone rang...it was the insurance rep calling to give me some potential hotels...the first one she mentioned was the one you had the link to...:)

Just made the booking.....thanks man, I appreciate it, especially since you are in London!

:o

Sorry about that Jenga......

As you live in Amsterdam (I assume that is right as I know Swoop does...gee wonder which post I got that info from;) ) I very much doubt I would mistake you for a man in person.   Dutch women are very beautiful from my personal experience.

I could debate that point.  ;)


However, Jenga is British and lives in London......it's just me that's daft enough to live abroad with all these Cloggies.


Jenga is absolutely demon at finding stuff out on the web, I just dont have the patience she does.  :).  If ya need anything else just ask mate, I'm sure she's happy to help.

Amon,
Congratulations!
Hope all goes well.

Swoop, Jenga,
Congratulations to you two as well!

Curval,
Good luck.
I know what you mean by being at the mercy of the insurance companies.  We had several financial scares that our last pregnancy/birth would not be covered.  Stay on top of things, document everything, read everything.  Insurance companies make a lot of money by tricking people into thinking that they are covered, and then throwing in a loophole and leaving the customer out to dry.  Make sure that you are covered.
Brigitta is going to cost about 35K!  (We'll only pay about $1700, whew.)
I have a friend who had a 50K baby, and another who had twins that cost over 100K.

Don't mean to worry you, just watch out.

Amon,

I hope that this post didn't cause all of your concerns yesterday and I hope everything was fine for you guys.

When the wife went for this ultra-sound we just thought it would be routine....this was a complete shock and surprise.

Ripsnort,

Thanks man.....all prayers are appreciated.

eskimo2,

I hear ya man....I have checked everything out as best that I can and we appear to be okay.  They have actually pre-approved all of the medical costs and even provided us with a contact in the US for us to deal directly with...the only real concern is going to be reimbursement for airline tickets and hotel costs - but even with that I have a letter signed by them stating that it is covered.

Typical insurance company nonesense with one thing though....should my wife have to be hospitalised for any reason MY hotel and tickets will NOT be covered as soon as she is admitted.....strange.

I don't belong to any particular religion, but I'll say a heartfelt prayer to whatever god/s are out there to watch over you and your family. This is terrible :(.
