All the Meds

Today all of my medicines came. I have two words again: Excited and Nervous. I start the first one on Monday. The pharmacy has been very efficient and easy to work with. The bad thing is that when they contacted our insurance, they said they would charge $2,000 for one medicine alone! Isn't that crazy! So basically we didn't go through insurance, we just paid cash. So it doesn't count toward our insurance deductible, but it was much cheaper. But don't get me wrong, it was still crazy expensive!

Sarah and I were talking about how if we just had the law of consecration right now, everyone could get the things they need (like medicine) and not have to worry about it. Obviously we're a long way off from that! But wouldn't it be so nice! We wouldn't be worried about healthcare, or housing, or car payments, or for some people, how to put food on the table. I guess I should say that I feel blessed that I even have the option to do this! But sometimes it doesn't feel like a blessing. Let's all just keep on praying that it works! My attitude remains positive, although this process isn't without lots of stresses. This weekend will be a good time to try to not think about it and just relax! Then Monday, the real fun begins!

    Lisa and Greg,
    I can't imagine all the varied feelings you must be feeling right now. I want you to know that you are in our prayers each day (and throughout the day too). Heavenly Father loves you both so much and knows exactly what you are going through! Know that whatever the outcome I believe it is all worth the quest. Love you both so much!!!!!

    Wow! That IS a lot of medicine. :( And I'm sure super expensive whether it goes through insurance or not. But I am super excited for your journey. It'll be worth every second when you have a precious baby (or two) to hold. I love you, girl!

Almost To the Home Stretch

Here I am at around 30 weeks or so. I can't remember exactly when Greg took these pictures. It's hard to believe that I only have six weeks and five days to go before this little buddy will make his entrance into the world. I'm excited and nervous. I'm doing really great still. I think, after talking to Sarah today, that I'm probably having some Braxton-Hicks contractions but didn't really realize it. I'll have to start paying closer attention. Gotta love Zantac! It's been helping with the heartburn. I pretty much waddle around a little these days. It's hard not to. I'm still sleeping well at night for the most part. I laugh at myself trying to turn over though! It's like a beached whale! Really. I have to like literally try to flip myself over without everything going, "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" The same thing happens when I've been sitting at my desk and get up to walk around. It's like all my joints want to just...

Can you see that baby bump?

Image
Man! Full body shots are not at all my fave. I have to do a better pose next time where Greg's not looking up at me while laying on the couch. That's always been like my least favorite camera angle. But can you see that little belly showing? This is 17 and a half weeks. My waist is disappearing and it for sure seems like my already well-endowed bust line has expanded! I'm just trying to take it all in stride even though it's sort-of weird that your body isn't your own anymore in some ways. But I think it's totally awesome that my body is designed for this. Go women! Every day I really feel like it's a miracle that I'm even having a baby. That's such a cool blessing that I wondered if I'd have, and now it's happening, and it's really surreal at times, but totally awesome, too. Other than the fact that I've had a horrible sore throat (due to allergies) I feel great. (Well, still headaches here and there.) I'm not sure if ...

Half Way There

Wow! I can't believe it's been 20 weeks already. That's halfway, right? I have had a terrific pregnancy so far. I have some of the common "aches and pains" but have done really well. It's awesome. I will have to post another picture again soon, because this bump is getting harder and harder to hide. Sometimes I feel a little self-conscious about it in a way, but I think I need to embrace it more and not try to hold it in! (Not that I do or can anyway!) The best thing lately is feeling the baby move more and more and knowing that's what I'm feeling. I totally notice movement after eating, and also sometimes when I play the organ. I think it's just louder so the baby can hear it and reacts a little. It will be fun to see if that continues and let's all pray they get Greg's awesome singing voice! We went to a movie last night, and the baby was really moving during that. Probably because it's so loud in the theater. A week or so...
