baby

The little guy was born on July 21 at 3:00 p.m. He was 6lb and 14oz and 19.5 inches long. He sure is a cute little guy. we named him Spencer Tyler. I can't believe how tiny he is. :)

When it Rains it Pours

I finally have almost everything ready for the baby. We have a few last minute things we need to take care of, and we should be good. I took a tour of the hospitals labor and delivery and pre registered for my admittance so all I have to do is sign consent forms. I about near passed out when they gave us the self pay (aka no insurance) price for having said baby...10,000. Yes, you read right, $10,000. We'll be paying him off til he's 5.

Brian still hasn't found a job, so if you know of one, let us know. We could really use insurance and full time hours right about now. I'm starting to worry about what we're going to do when I'm on leave with no income for a month...sigh. I think I may ask my visiting teachers to bring me meals for the first few days when I get back, just so I dont have to worry about it, but they may think that's strange where I live with my parents. I don't know...sigh...I'll figure something out I suppose.

I"ll have to make the few things that I can make into freezer meals into freezer meals this week. I'm hoping I will have the time to squeeze it in. I'm only planning on taking 3 weeks for maternity leave, I can't really afford anything longer than that, so please pray that everything will go fine for both of us and I won't need a c section or anytihng like that.

I am stressed to the max so the next few weeks ought to be fun. My mother is after me for everything and anything lately. I get frustrated with life's crap, and my sister irritates me sometimes. All I can do is hope and pray that everything is going to be ok.

I wonder about this trial in life sometimes and what its preparing us for...No job, no insurance, and a new baby is just about as bad as it can be. I think it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Thanks for letting me vent. It soes me good to let things out everyonce in a while. :)

These pictures are from our first ever couples Family Home Evening that we did this past Monday. It was actually really fun and I think the other couples liked it too. Brian and I just set up a potluck at the park and we did a game where each couple acted out a famous couple and the rest of us had to guess who it was.
