I just love convincing the insurance company that they should, indeed, cover the $271 doctor’s bill that I’ve been sent. Listen, people, I KNOW MY RIGHTS! My doctor’s office and insurance company are cursing the day I learned about their secret “codes.” But my insurance paperwork says that routine prenatal care is covered at 100%, [ READ MORE ]
Another waiting for baby project. This was so fun and easy. I love playing with fire. Holding the little squares of satin over the flame makes them curl up at the edges. Stack up different sizes and voila! A flower. I spent $1.50 on these 4 different fabrics, but only used a fraction of it. [ READ MORE ]
Piano. A few days ago our friend Christian came over and taught Dave how to tune our piano. Fun. And time consuming. It’s still not finished. I think Dave and Christian tuned all the “a’s” before they got bored. Pizza. I love it. The baby loves it. It appears at least once a week at [ READ MORE ]
I know it’s wrong to make generalizations about people based on their culture or race…..so I’ll just tell you this story and let you make your own. A few weeks ago Dave and I went to our favorite local Chinese take out restaurant. They have the best lo mein around. Trust me, we’ve tried the [ READ MORE ]
It’s been a while since I blogged so I have lots of thoughts rolling around in my brain. Here are some of them. 1. Last week the doctor told me that I had lost a pound, but the baby was still measuring “perfect.” Who loses weight while they’re pregnant? My stomach is pretty squished these [ READ MORE ]
This morning I ate a bowl of raisin bran at 5am. Then I went back to sleep for 3.5 hours. The end. Wait. I feel like there was something else I wanted to say about that. Oh yeah. Dave had to leave for work at 5:15 this morning, which meant he woke up at 4:30. [ READ MORE ]
…..otherwise entitled “The Power of Facebook.” I’m not sure which is more accurate. All I know is that it was powerful. A few days ago, around dinner time, I posted this as my Facebook status: I really want a donut. Really. And this is what happened. 15 minutes later a friend from our small group had [ READ MORE ]
so without further ado, here are some updates. 1. Pregnancy Love it. 22 weeks along. Our little spring roll is pretty active these days, and already keeping me up at night with his/her “bladder dancing.” We now have conflicting opinions on the sex of baby. Our regular doctor did an ultrasound at 17 weeks and [ READ MORE ]
….that’s what little boys are made of. We are so thrilled about having a boy. Couldn’t be happier. I’ll never forget the joy on Dave’s face as he shook the doctor’s hand when she said, “It’s a boy!” Of course, he may have just been happy to be right. After all, he did predict that [ READ MORE ]
When I found out I was pregnant I thought it was going to be all fun and games. Compared to doing all the adoption paperwork, I thought pregnancy would be a breeze. I remember thinking, “All I have to do is lay around and grow this baby, pick a hospital, and then deliver.” Only I [ READ MORE ]
