Big Baby!

One of the Dr. Appts that I mentioned earlier was an ultrasound/prenatal visit.  The ultrasound (28 weeks) said that my baby weighed 3 lbs 5 oz and was 17 inches long!!  All they kept saying was "wow, big baby!"  At 28 weeks the normal is 2 lbs 4 oz and 14.8-ish inches long.  I know sometimes ultrasounds aren't always accurate but for that big of a difference this early along, I'd say it was close.  Plus if you saw me you just might have to agree.  The Dr. is predicting a 10 pounder if I go to my due date!  Yikes!!!  We'll see if he's right.

6 Dr Visits in 8 Days for this family...

Equals $165 in copays and prescriptions (does not include over the counter items)

Ouch!

All 4 of us have been to one dr or another for one reason or another in just over a week!  We need to get better!

I should add that I'm super grateful for insurance!  (it could be much worse)

Ella's 4th Birthday!

Ella had her 4th Birthday yesterday.  I can't believe she is already 4!  We had a good day.  

"Uncle Dung" sent her a Birthday card that had a punch out mermaid crown in it...

We played in the water and had popsicles with lots of fun neighbor kids...

Aunt Erin and cousin Cheyanne helped us all make a blue princess cake...

(notice how Ella isn't helping, she's enjoying someone else's pop!)

She got surprised by a "real" bike that is actually big enough for her...

And Grandma and Grandpa Bardin came to visit, as well as some cousins and aunts and uncles.

And to end their long day, the girls had a "sleepover" watching Enchanted

Thanks for all the fun stuff everyone!!!
