Bills

Well my Thursday wasn't to great. I get a call at 8:50 saying Aiden was running 101 fever, luckily Wes was off so he picked him up. They watched Avengers until Mommy could come home after lunch. Poor little guy needs to feel better by Saturday for Carlos' birthday party or he will be one unhappy baby.

Then I check the mail. Ugh a bill. A bill from my high-risk OBGYN for my 1st office visit and ultrasound. Oh just $1200 (for one visit! No wonder you don't get to do those fancy features at your normal ultrasounds....) I only have to pay $486.92, yes $486.92! And I will get this bill every 2 weeks until Brody comes....so that Oct due date is looking pretty good about now. haha! One good thing is I'm $589.55 away from reaching my deductible, so I'll only have to pay 20% then on. Oh and that doesn't include my normal OBGYN extra bills on the weeks I don't see this doctor. Money just flying out the door, so thankful we have everything we need already and I'm pretty much done with Christmas shopping. Just God's way of looking out for us. Now we are just keeping our fingers crossed for some more good news...
---------------------------------
Carlos' birthday party was a lot of fun, but again Aiden was attacked by mosquitoes. Probably about 10 on his legs and that's even with repellent on. Poor little guy! Not all have blistered up but he's still in pain. Back on Benadryl 24/7.

Once we got home it hits me. COMPLETE misery! My SPD was kicking in high gear, I could barely move. Brought me to tears just to get up to use the bathroom. Aiden was super sweet and asking if I was okay and would bring me things if I needed something. (Daddy wasn't at home at the time) I literally took 4 baths that day (eases the pressure off my pelvic bone) and my sweet little boy would sit outside the tub playing with his trains or reading a book or have splash parties with me. So thankful it was a good day for him. (Excuse the blurry pic I wanted to show how Aiden rests on me, but he moved. He puts his head on my belly and sits between my legs)

Then about 10 minutes before Wes gets home I'm sitting on the couch. OMG! Sprint to the bathroom puked my brains out. Then the pain got even worse, because had just moved so fast and then the puking on top. Aiden was right there asking if I was okay...as Daddy walked in the door. I told him if I feel like this tomorrow I know I can't make it past October.

Sunday I felt a little better, but luckily Daddy took over and I stayed in bed till about 2pm. Aiden came in around 1 and we both took a nap together. Loved that sweet time together. This weekend I did absolutely no house chores and Daddy was a rockstar. So thankful for that!! Don't know what I'd do without him.
--------------------------------------------------
One issue we are having at home is bedtime. Aiden used to be an awesome sleeper...now not so much. I've never seen him throw the kind of fits like he does now. Like he will get out of bed and beat on the door screaming bloody murder. What does he want? To crawl in our bed and go to sleep. It's so weird we put him in our bed, he falls asleep within 5 minutes, and then Wes carries him to his bed without a peep. We really don't want to make this a pattern, but fighting him isn't worth it now. I just hope he outgrows this soon.
--------------------------------------------------
Today I got to see Brody again to preform a Biophysical Profile test and check my fluids. No gain in fluid. Yah! And he passed his BPP very quick, but look at that grumpy face. Somebody wanted to sleep after kicking Mommy all weekend. (If you were wondering what BPP was it's a test Brody has to pass within 30 minutes and he gets points on each part. It determines if he needs to be delivered early. The BPP looks at the baby's breathing, movement, muscle tone, heart rate, and the amount of amniotic fluid.)

It's so funny all the ultrasound techs are so amazed you can see and I can feel his movements, because apparently when people have lots of fluid they don't feel anything (which is sad I think). Just shows you how much he's moving as my belly is a ripple of waves.

End on a funny note. So the other day we rented What to Expect When You're Expecting to watch it with Regina and Steve who hadn't seen it. So Aiden and Carlos were playing and then decided to watch it with us. If you haven't seen it, it's a MUST! SO funny! By the end both boys were picking up their shirts saying they had a baby in there or they wanted a baby in there. lol Too cute! We would ask Aiden where Brody was and he will point to my belly then goes "My baby's here" and points to his. lolol silly!

Not all the story lines were great, and my favs were Elizabeth Banks and Brooklyn Decker. The father-son bit was hilarious! Best quote of the movie, which I could relate to this past weekend
Wendy: "I just wanted the glow. The one that they promise you on the cover of those magazines. Well, I'm calling it - pregnancy sucks. Making a human being is really hard. I have no control over my body or my emotions." She's having a breakdown giving a speech. Priceless.
