Baby #2 Gender and Christmas

David and I found out the baby's sex on 12/7, but we decided to keep it a secret from everyone until Christmas. We bought Caleb a shirt that said "I didn't do it, my little brother did it". It was his gift to open on Christmas in front of everyone. David and I are super excited to be having another boy. Here are some of the pics from the ultrasound.

BOY!

Christmas was great this year! Caleb got a tricycle and mainly mickey mouse items from mommy and daddy. He got a train set from my parents, and he got some play dough, a Hot wheels racetrack, and trucks at David's parents house. Here are some pics from opening gifts Christmas morning. He went through the presents like they were just "things". He would open one, look at it, and move onto the next. He never did get excited about anything, but he carries his Mickey Mouse clothes around, and he loves his train that my parent gave him.

A Sick Caleb Makes for No Fun!

So last week (Monday), Caleb started running a fever. He had been coughing earlier that weekend, had a runny nose and such, but I chalked it up to a cold. I took him to the doc and we found out he has strep. We got some antibiotics and told we should be good to go to school on Wed. Well Wed., we still weren't better...he was still running fever. We decided it must be something viral and it just needed to run its course.

Well Thursday night it got MUCH worse. While David and I were at his Holiday Party, Caleb started running a fever in the 104 range. I assumed it HAD to be the flu. Thats the only time he gets fever of 104. Caleb was at David's parents house....thankfully they were able to break the fever and we went to the doc again on Friday. Caleb tested positive for RSV!!!! GRRRR!

So off we go home with more prescriptions. When I go to pick it up, I found out that the solution for the nebulizer is not covered by insurance!!! The doc had prescribed 96 vials at $640!!!!!! I looked at the pharmacist and said "can you do a payroll deduct?" HAHA. I only got 24 vials at $100 (I had a "savings card" from the doc that saved $50...savings card my butt). The nebulizer machine wasnt covered either...that was $47. I was ok with that...we might need it again....I dont want to rent it either.

So last week we spent over $400 in doctor visits and medicine! This week Caleb is MUCH better, he is back to his normal stinker self. Im very happy that he will be healthy for Christmas too!!!

Keep checking back to find out if we are having a girl or a boy...its a Christmas surprise!!!!

Half-Way with Baby #2!

Its so true what they say. Baby #2 isnt getting much attention. Im half-way through the pregnancy and this is my 1st belly picture. David and I havent discussed names, looked at bedding or furniture. I know there is still plenty of time, but with Caleb thats all we talked about was him.

Ive been feeling fine. Just like with Caleb...no real complaints. Ive been feeling the baby move for a while now. David got to feel the baby this past weekend. I have to be lying flat on my back, and it your patient enough you can feel the baby. Ive been sleeping with a pillow for a while now as well. If not, my back really hurts in the morning.

Sorry about the picture...its from my camera phone. I can tell Im slightly bigger the 2nd time around, which I expected. Dont think Ive gained too much so far, but I'll find out the truth at my next appt.
Caleb at 20 weeks....
