UGH! Why can't people do their jobs?!?

After the energy bill this morning, I went to check my online bank statement. JcPenney had pulled out the money for the dresser on Sunday, over drafted my account (b/c it wasn't supposed to come out until the 19th), and sent me racing around to transfer money. I get on there today and the money has been put back in. I called JcPenney and they tell me that first they put it in as pending, and then take it back, and then go back later and send it through again. So right now I have over $500 in my account that shouldn't be there, and I have no idea when it is going to come out again. When I talked to lady on the phone, she said they already have the money and the dresser is being shipped. Yet, the money is still in my account and there are no items pending. SO, am I getting a free dresser or will random money be pulled out of my account at some later date over drafting me again? Frustrating!!!

Can I pull my hair out now?

My electricity company is driving me nuts! They have messed up my bill so many times. So I get a bill this month for $5.76. I should be happy! But the last time this happened, they came back three weeks later saying that I now owed them $300 one week and my regular bill of $295 the next week. And even though it was their mix up, they would not grant me any extra time to come up with the almost $600 they wanted within a week of each other. So while I am hopeful that maybe we will get a break this month, I will be holding my breath and waiting for that other bill to come in a couple of months!

Good appt.

I had my appt. today with my OB and so far everything is great! Blood pressure is stable and no protein in my urine. That nasty pre eclampsia needs to stay away! :) I also got a flu shot for the first time in my life. He wants me to get a swine flu shot next time, but I think I am going to decline it. There has just not been enough research done for my peace of mind. Next appt. I get to see my little one on the sono. The dr could not get a good view of the four chambers of the heart, so I get to have another one. I also get to take another glucose test. Fun times! But I am so glad that this dr is watching me very closely. I also found out that my insurance company drug their feet in getting my benefits to my new dr. They waited until after Sept. 1 so that I now have another $500 deductible that has not been met at all. If they would have run it when they were supposed to, my entire deductible would have been met! So frustrating. I am enjoying every moment of pregnancy as it will be my last. (Unless I can convince Toby of something different! :) )

Good days lately

Finally, Noah's asthma seems to be better. Fingers crossed that it stays that way! Noah is talking all of the time now. I can't believe I was ever worried! He is quite the chatter box. I am sure people at Walmart think I am nuts. b/c I carry on very random conversations with my 2 year old complete with hand motions and sound effects! :) His terrible twos seem to be calming down quite a bit! (I wonder if I should even say that for fear of jinxing myself!) We are starting to get into the swing of Toby being back at work, although he has been gone all day several times already which makes it a little harder. Noah likes to see his daddy and being around 6 months pregnant and chasing a toddler can sometimes get to me if I have to do it all day. But overall, life is going well right now. Toby got the green light from both eye specialists until Dec. That is the longest we have ever been able to go. Yea! Other than that, not too much going on. We are very excited to meet Madeline and we are trying to get ready for her arrival. So far so good in regard to the pregnancy. We are very hopeful that I will not have any complications this time!

When will my little one catch a break?

I am so frustrated and sad for Noah. Every time something happens and we are able to get over it, it seems like bad things start all over again. This time it is more of the same. His asthma flared back up at 3:30am last night, and we are having a hard time getting it under control. I want so badly to take away his pain and discomfort. I would give anything for him to have a completely normal life without all of these complications. It is so hard to listen to him struggle for every breath he takes. Now we are just waiting on the dr to call us back so we can get his medicine refilled. Hopefully, he will get over this round a little quicker than he did last time.

It's a ....

Girl! My dr couldn't figure out what is was, so Toby and rushed home and made an appt. for the next day to have it done again at a place called Window in the Womb in Southlake. She found it right away. She was 85% sure it was a girl. It had better be, or some little boy is going to have a lot of pink!

Going green

I never thought I would be so interested in this, but with the second baby coming it seems to be more and more important especially when I see how much better it is for the baby. I was reading the blog of a fellow PCOS mom whose baby came very early. She had a link with information about wrapping your crib mattress to prevent SIDS. That got me started looking a little more closely at items I never gave much thought to, like mattresses, crib covers, playyards, etc. I am also going to try cloth diapers for many reasons. It started off as a good way to save money and then it grew into so much more. So we will see how this goes. Hopefully, I will have at least a mostly green baby! :)
