I am finally better guys! I'm so happy. That virus took the full 7 days, wtf! Anyway, H is off this week using up pto before the year ends so we went to the wildlife center and out to lunch. Now I'm going to the store to get stuff to make ham soup - probably split pea.
The girls are enjoying their gifts too. Whoever suggested the bilibo thanks, it's a BIG hit! I totally forgot about those and I used to sell them even, years ago when they first got popular.
kartish i'm with you - so exhausted from the christmas madness and my house is a wreck. at work today, so i'm going to try to ignore it all until the weekend.
nothing special here, except that my insurance was apparently billed $20k for the verifi genetic testing that we did, and our part is $1100. we did panorama with DD and paid $0. so it was unexpected!

dreemkin that is entirely too long for any virus but especially a GI bug. agm04 wow you think the doctor office or the lab would've given you a heads up. Did they give you an estimate?

Hanging out at my parents' house today with family. G is napping, thank goodness. He refused to nap here last week, I think because the bedroom with the crib is really bright, so I covered it with a blanket. My 4 year old cousin is bouncing off the walls, saying she's bored, but refusing all offers of entertainment. I think she's ready for G to wake up.
agm04 do you have to pay that out of pocket?!? That seems pretty outrageous. I've read that sometimes you can talk to the lab company and they can waive some or most of the bill (they want the business since these tests are fairly new). lilyelayne tell me about it! Thankfully imodium gave me some relief during those 7 days because I would be in bad shape. I wouldn't have been able to sleep. mishka29 is your H's vasectomy coming up this week? Good luck to him if it is!
lilyelayne yay for naps! they didn't give me an estimate, but i feel dumb for not calling the insurance company ahead of time. i did that with DD, and just assumed it would be the same this time. not smart! oh well...just an inconvenience, fortunately not a major issue! a $20 bill would have been a MAJOR ISSUE, haha.
dreemkin i've heard that too - i did call the lab today just to make sure what insurance was billed was correct. that seems insane and i almost feel guilty for having it done if it really cost the insurance company that much. they may end up reducing my part.
Oh also, we got an announcement from friends that they are expecting their third child. It made me spiral out of control after I thought I was "over" wanting that. Sigh, maybe those feelings will never go away.
Also H and I were awaken be a huge popping sound. One of our bedroom windows broke...I don't know if something flew into it or what. So we'll have to deal with that eventually (it was only the outside part - double pain).

Hopefully they reduce it. Ours was fully out of pocket for panorama with DS and that was only 500.

He had it last week. He seemed to be in a lot of pain but he survived! Yesterday the lo kicked him in the junk during a diaper change. We were in the process of leaving for a play date. I got him Advil and an ice pack and we just left him lying on the floor bc there was no way he could even move at that point. Poor guy.
