It's always good to know I'm puking for a good reason. But speaking of the puke, I'm grateful for another blessing in my life: good insurance. I filled a prescription today that should knock out the morning sickness. Retail price for 30 pills (technically a ten-day supply, but I hope to stretch it): $704.89. (And that's the generic drug!) My cost: $10.00.
P.S. Note the warning at the top: "If you experience nausea or vomiting while using this medicine, check with your doctor." WHAT??? I love that an anti-emetic may cause vomiting.Here's another amusing --albeit unrelated-- picture.
This afternoon Tyler played at a neighbor's house. The friend's mom walked him home and informed me that Tyler and his buddy cut each other's hair. I laughed it off (much to the mother's relief), but even though Ty isn't missing a pigtail or anything, I'm still not sure what to do about his bald spots. His hair is pretty short, but I'm not crazy on the skin-head look on four-year-olds. Any suggestions?

Congrats on hearing the heart beat! That always makes it seem a little more real to me. Is that med the generic for Zofran? I had some of that with Whitney and it was HEAVENLY. I hope you're not sick for too much longer!
Happy heartbeat! That is always so validating and reassuring. About the hair, uh, maybe a really short buzz for the next while will take care of it. It seems like they all have to try it at least once. Remember Holly's bangs (or lack thereof)at your wedding? Smiles....
Congrats on hearing the heartbeat.... And I know all too well about that lovely medicine you are taking. My husband takes it while he is home from getting his chemo and our insurance will only give us half of the month supply and ours cost $15. Hopefully you will be able to stretch it and won't be popping them like my hubby....As for the hair... I think it may have to go a little shorter... at least it'll grow back.
Oh I love the little beany baby pics. Your due date is 4 days after Camden's 1st birthday. How wierd is that. So we both will be celebrating something special that week, Congrats!
Wow!
That's a pricey little pill. I was on Zofran with Claire and Emma and it was a heaven send. It was also a pricey one, but we had good insurance then too. Hopefully that will help you. Were you this sick with your boys?
Congrats on the heartbeat!
As for Tyler's hair, it grows back quickly, doesn't it? I wouldn't worry about it--you have enough non-throwing-up things to do.
Adorable baby bean! I hope your drugs work well and fast, and...um, the hair...I' probably just shave it off myself but it would kill me to do it! I thought they might shave Dev's head at the ER and I was in a cold sweat thinking about it.
What a great picture of your little bean sprout! That you are willing to go through the terrible nausea again really shows what kind of mom you are. Hang in there!
What a precious bean! It's the cutest bean I've ever seen. I'm glad you've got the meds even if it's pricey. At least you aren't having to pay the big part. Tyler, Oh Tyler! I'd just laugh it off and have a fun memory. I remember when Heidi and her cousin did that. At least it's not pigtails to the scalp. You gotta love him!
Just shave the head. Doug and Joseph gave each other buzz cuts the other night. Doug is on surgery right now and doesn't want to worry about hair and Joseph enjoys the combined perks of looking like Dad and not having to get his hair combed before school.
I would LOVE to talk to you. Four kids is killer but we've made it through the last 7 weeks pretty well. I don't think I have your Colorado number so call me.

So Zofran is amazing. I wouldn't have survived w/o it. I think you'll just have to buzz it. Good luck
I'm sorry you're feeling icky, but glad you got to see a little heart beat. What payoff, eh? Thanks for the use of your yard today...what a perfect day for playing with friends!
yay for zofran, insurance, & healthy heartbeats.
all glorious things!
if i lived by you, i would pay you twenty dollars for one zofran pill right now.
ty would be cute with a buzz!
Ah, just shave it! Of course, you knew that was coming from me... :)
congrats on your new baby on the way! are you still running at all? I've just started up again and was wondering if you had any advice on getting into the hang of it again? Just keep suffering until it one day doesn't kill as much anymore? lol.
Hey there,
I am so glad I found your blog. I somehow missed out on the blog swap, but now I am finding everyone!
I am glad all went well with the ultrasound. Hope you get feeling better soon!
Hooray for babies!! And--uh--how did I make it through an entire pregnancy without knowing I could actually take something for my morning sickness!?!
