I love my job...especially right now!
When we went to the dr. on Tuesday we were told that if we wanted to find out the sex of the baby, we'd have to pay for it. Dr. E does a sonogram at 12 weeks and 28 weeks, so insurance wouldn't pay for another one. Well, it would be $75, minimum, to find out...they have all different kinds of packages up to $300! So...we all know that Jared is a bit frugal, but he said we could pay to find out! We have phenominal insurance and baby will only cost $115 to deliver ($15 for first copay with first visit and $100 for hospital admittance - SERIOUSLY!!!!).
I'm sure you're wondering why I titled this "I love my job...especially right now!" Well, I went into my favorite Urologist's office on Wednesday to announe the news and show them my pics of baby. I love this office! The staff is wonderful and the dr.'s are top notch. Anyway...Sheila, the receptionist, said that I should come in and found out what it is...So, here's the conversation:
Sheila: You should come in on a Thursday. That's the day when our sonogram tech is here. His name's Rick, and he'll tell you what you're having.
Me: No, I don't want to be a bother!
Sheila: WHAT?! You're not a bother! We all want to find out who's in there anyway!
Me: Sheila, you shouldn't have told me that...I'll be in every Thursday bothering this man to look at my baby!
Sheila: Come tomorrow and we'll see.
Me: Okay!
Thursday morning I go back to the office and Rick was busy with patients. I didn't want to be a brat but the staff insisted that I stay. When Rick was done with the patients, he called me in there, and we took a look...FOR FREE! Now I knew it was too early to tell but I wanted to see my baby again!!! He said I should come back when I'm 16-20 weeks, and we'll see just who's in there!!! So, God has provided again! We'll save some $$$ and still get to know who's in there! I'm so shocked and humbled with the people I've met with my job. They are loving our family already. By the way, I should mention that my friend, Andrea, suggested I find an office that would do the sonogram for free, then this just happened!
Other updates:
Jared has painted the baby's room...I'll post pics later.
We're getting baby furniture for free! My dear friend, Andrea Leary, has a brother that lives in our neighborhood. He and his wife are preparing their little one for a toddler bed or "big boy bed", and they said we could have their furniture!!! Just have it! I can't believe it. I must mention that my wonderful friend, Ashley Norwood, has told me that we can strip and paint the furniture, and she'll even tutor us on how to do it!! I have the most fantastic friends anyone can ask for!!!!

You get great freinds in return for being awesome friends!
Did you get to see the baby again?!
Are you going to take pictures of your belly?
And...
You have to make the cookies that LT & MAX posted under "R" when she was doing the alphabet thing a few posts ago.... AMAZING!!! I've made them 4 times in the last 4 weeks! (I always eat like 3 or 4 and give the rest away... so I'm not a fatty-- that's what I'm telling myself anyway)
I had one more thing for you too!
SONNY'S CLOSED!!!
And...
I made it. If you have any program (like photoshop, illustrator, powerpoint, maybe even microsoft paintshop) that has the option to "save for web" (under the drop-down 'file' menu) you can create your own header.
I just created what I wanted it to say/look like. then said 'save for web'.
Then you go to your 'customize' page of your blog and where it says 'header' you click and browse for the image you just created and upload it just like you would do with an image on a post.
easy breezy... call me if you want help!
No close-outs... no warning... no nothing...
I went there to get BBQ for lunch for everyone who came to see my senior exhibit. I went the day before and when I got there, there were no flashing bulbs on the big arrow, no people anywhere around, no cars in the front lawn, no lights on inside, no people inside, no heat lamps warming pork shoulders and chitlins, no nothing.
I was really sad, and immediately had to come up with a plan B for the family lunch-- Little Pooeys. (it was actually really really good though)
Holy Cow...what insurance do you have??? I want that kind :)
How exciting! That is so awesome brandy. We will be anxiously awaiting to find out if baby is brandy jr. or jared jr!
I just got back from my trip late last night and saw your comment on my blog! I SO would have called you if I had seen that! I didn't even check my email the entire trip. It was a whirlwind! Next time, I'll definitely call you!!!
Yo! I know this is sort of off topic however I badly need a little guidance from an reputable blog. Is it awfully difficult to create your own personal web site? I am not very good with technical stuff although I can work things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about establishing my very own site however I'm unclear about where to begin. Do you have some strategies? Many thanks
