And we wonder why people have problems...
The bills are still rolling in but...
What it costs to have a baby with our situations at our hospital: ~$20000.00
What our HMO paid: Little more than half
What we have to pay: ~$1000.00
Thank God my yearly out of pocket is $1200.00 - but this does not include co-pays.

Birthday and Question
Happy One Month Birthday E my sweet baby boy! He now weighs 8lbs, 11 oz and is 22" long. BIG boy for me!
In a somewhat related note... I am going back to work the second week of March. I need to start pumping now. How much will he need per feeding by then do you think?? How do I even begin to figure that out? He will be in daycare. :(
Oh, and after a lot of supporting evidence, self doubt and some seeming opinion to the contrary, I officially* know my baby better than my MIL! Yay! And no I will NOT give me baby bottles of lime water.(sorry if you're reading this honey. It had to be let out.)
*The officiant being me.

Elizabeth - A Little Story
Yes, the Elizabeth of Here We Go Again fame. I've been meaning to share this cute story for a while. Jen and Elizabeth were here when we still had the Christmas tree up. Elizabeth was entranced by the tree and couldn't get enough of it. She also can't get enough of Jen's car keys, which she was carrying around while she pointed at the tree repeatedly. Soon enough she noticed an ornament I have that features two little mice cuddling inside a mushroom house.
You know what's coming next right? Yes, Elizabeth tried to use Jen's keys to unlock the mouse house. How darn cute is that? Her breathless squeals every time she sees E are also cute - as is the fact that she sits down in expectation of us handing him to her every time. No one told her how to do this, she just does. I can't wait until E does all these fun things.

Non-Baby Related Post!
People rag on Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas for her singing skills (non-skills?) live. However, you gotta give it to her that the girl actually SINGS on stage while dancing and putting on a show. There's no lip synching there. I enjoy the Black Eyed Peas. I find them fun junk food for the ear. The Grammys brought this thought about.
Thank you for your time.

Better Breastfeeding
I have had moments of breastfeeding that felt triumphant, or peaceful, or interesting. But before today, I had not had the joy - at all. Today I finally got a little taste of the joy that breastfeeding can bring. What a relief. We seem to be limping through it and finding what works for us.
