Look what I can do!

I look like my Papa!

Praise God! We were struggling to figure out how we are going to fork over a ton of money for all Noah's doctor visits. We were looking at about $600 for the immunization shots he'll be getting next week and and $240 for the past visits. Thankfully I have found that if you are nice and up front with the billing department then they are more than happy to work with you. We only have to pay $120 for the visit and then $16 per shot. That's all! Not to mention we won't have to pay $900 a month for health care, plus a $1500 deductable! We decided to forgo the health care that Jordan's office provides and pay for this all out of pocket. It's cheaper for us this way. We are going to sign onto a different plan that isn't as expensive as soon as we clear up the existing bills for Noah's birth. It's nice to know that right now we are able to get him in to the doctor and we can afford to do so. God is good to us and he keeps providing beyond our dreams. I am so glad we found the group of doctors that we have. They are amazingly nice to work with and kind people. Please just pray that we find extra ways of making some cash to help pay for all the medical expenses. God is providing some short cuts, but at the end of the day, we still have outstanding bills.

Work

So, life outside of work...yeah right! Life is work!





I used to think that being a SAHM (Stay at Home Mom) was going to be easy and I'd have plenty of time to devote to Christ and the church and everything else on my "Perfect Mom" Checklist. WRONG! Being a SAHM is the hardest job I could have signed up for. Its a pride swallowing, puke on your clothes every day of your life gig that is a 24 hour circle of poopy diapers and messy house. I have to say though that it is the most rewarding job I have ever had. I love that even when I am at my wits end with Noah, he'll smile and coo at me and melt me right back to the mushy start and break down my wall of anger with one look. It's a humbling experience and I don't know who I'd be without him and my Hubby.


I can say right now in our lives we are still living day to day and I am slowly starting to adjust and get Noah on a schedule. I have just today found out a long standing problem with feeding Noah and hopefully have found a solution to our feeding dilemmas. So maybe it'll run better here on out. I had to actually break down and call the lactation specialist....yeah, just the thought of the word "lactation" makes me feel like a milk cow.


The past few weeks have brought on only a few amazing changes. Noah recognizes Jordan and me and is starting to smile at us and talk to us. It's is the best feeling you can imagine. It's like an angel chose to talk to you specially and no one else!


Anyway. God is providing for us and faithfully keeping my house, marriage, and motherhood all priority in my life. So I'll leave it at that and leave you all with some pictures.
