Good Thing We're Rich

Today's Financials:

-Money spent: $1300
-# of purchases made: 2
-Money made: $0
-Tears cried: many
-2 hours: NOTHING CLOSE TO PRICELESS

Awesome.

Now the explanation...we are self-pay patients at the OBGYN and were misquoted on the cost of our first appointment and paid for 3 doctors visits.  The billing lady is rude and deceptive and we were committed to switching doctors, until we met with our doctor who was kind, understanding, and eased our anxieties.  We then went home.  Prior to leaving for work, I needed to run upstairs to go to the bathroom and grab my lunch.  While driving home Mike and I fought about where to park, almost got into an accident.  We decided to park behind the lot because I was only going to be upstairs for a minute.  Well, I was upstairs for 3 minutes, and our car was towed.  Great.  I was planning on driving to Milwaukee for my first appt at 11am.  Thus, I cancelled my 2 appointments in Milwaukee because 1) I'd be losing money by going up there 2) I didn't have an immediate way to get my car and 3) I was a mess.

On the INCREDIBLY bright side, baby and I are both healthy.  My weight gain is on track (3 1/2 pounds), my blood pressure is low and healthy (100/74), and we heard the baby's heartbeat again.  Mom, if the wive's tale is right, which there's a 50% chance that it is, it's a GIRL.  The heartbeat was 160 and the doctor said the baby was awake because he/she was moving.  Amazing experience.

Also, discovered there's a way to e-mail people who want updates when we publish new posts.  So let us know if you want to be on the list!
