Yikes!
I went the dr. this week and as she was writing me out the prescription for Zofran she casually asked if my insurance covered it. I told her they did and I just had a $5 co-pay. Her face told me she was floored! When I filled the prescription I looked to see how much the Zofran actually was....A one week supply (21 pills) was $487. Holy Moly! Thank goodness I have good health insurance. In case you were wondering, Zofran is just one of the pills I take to help me not throw up and be able to function kinda. Thank you GHP! Maybe we will name this next baby GHP or Zofran in honor and thanks to them/it.

Update
Here is a quick update of what has been going on...
1. I am sick, sick, sick. I was very sick with my first two boys and this one is proving to be a follower already.
2. I spend a lot of time on the couch, in the bed, or struggling to get through the simple everyday tasks of a house with two kids.
3. Brian is being AWESOME. He brings me my medicine (Zofran and some other one) that stops me from throwing up at 5:45am as he is leaving for work. He also makes sure to take care of the dogs before he leaves. When he gets home he literally sets his stuff down and takes over with dinner, clean up, bath, entertaining the boys, folding laundry etc. Thank you Brian!
4. I am trying to be nice to him. With Grant I think I treated him pretty badly and I had to promise to be nicer this time.
5. Two days of school this week!
6. During my 4th hour one day I could not find anyone to watch my class so I could go get sick. I told them they are a few options - they could go to their locker, the bathroom, or get a drink but they had to be in the hallway until I came back out of the bathroom. Bless their hearts they took pity on me, listened, and stayed in the hallway while I was in the bathroom.
7. My one medicine makes me VERY drowsy. During that same 4th hour class a bell rang and I jumped up and said something about a fire drill. My students looked at me like I was crazy. I made them promise me in the event of a real emergency one of them would take charge and make sure we all got out of the building safely including me.
8. Jack and Brian have strep throat. The dr. says Grant probably won't get it because he is under the age of 3. I will probably get it according to the dr.
9. Grant is talking more and more! So exciting!
10. I am still running...I do about 3-4 miles every day and I feel so much better after I do it. It is my goal to really stay with my exercising this pregnancy. I also try and walk at a big incline for like ten minutes and do my light weights for my upper body.
11. Ultrasound tomorrow!
12. Erin is not coming in town for Thanksgiving...bummer!
13. My mom starts her new job tomorrow...you will do awesome mom!
14. I need to get some Christmas shopping done!
Have a great week!

Rosa Parks
This evening at dinner Jack was telling us about a story they read in school about a black women who would not give her seat up on the bus and she was arrested. Brian loving everything history became very excited and animated in his explanation of the entire story, were it took place, and why it was so intriguing. Jacks response you might wonder? Dad is there a football team in Alabama?

It looks like another baby is going to be joining our family late next June or early July. We are super excited and feel very blessed. I had an ultrasound today and the little heart was beating away. Amazing!
