Baby Moving 20 Weeks

This is mainly for my mom since she can't be here during my pregnancy :( I can't send the file over email because it is too big. So everyone can have a look, haha.

Have you ever felt like blogging, but didn't know what to blog about so you don't do it? Well, I haven't...until now. I suppose I will give you all a little update. The singles ward we were going to was dissolved! The Bishopric of the wards that were dissolved were released, so we are back in the home ward. I was enjoying being in the singles ward, but the family ward is a good change. Vella can be pretty loud, and it is nice that she doesn't stick out as much in sacrament meeting, haha. She is growing so quickly! She is getting two more teeth in and she has been pretty fussy because of it., which means long nights for both of us. She will have eight teeth! She pulls herself up and tries to climb on or over everything! She is finally crawling the right way. She used to army crawl using one leg only. It was pretty funny :) She will stand by herself for a little bit, but she doesn't like to because she would rather explore! She will snuggle a little more now. She will lay her head on my chest for a few seconds, and I just suck it up! I mean, five seconds sounds like nothing, but it is much better than having her push me away.
There is only a few more weeks of school left. Greg has a lot of studying to do! I really admire Greg. He does well school, goes to work, and is a great daddy and husband. Oh, and he does well in his callings. When he was the ward clerk he was in church ALL day on Sunday along with other meetings during the week. He served faithfully, no matter how many other things he had to do. He is amazing!! oh, and he is really really ridiculously good looking :)
Well, V is ready for bed, so I will be done with this post.

No wonder health care is so much

I have a lump on the lateral side of my knee right where the head of my fibula is. I went to Pocatello Orthopaedic & Sports to get it checked out because of the pain I was feeling plus the size and texture of the bump. I call an make an appointment. I ask how much they tell me well do you have insurance. I say ya they say it will be $50 or co-pay. I go and the doctor looks at my knee and before saying anything tells me "That is normal, did you not know that? That is a normal bump." I seriously thought she was being funny so I said, "Oh, well that is good, I guess I will go now." Then I realized she was being serious and I said, well I think I wouldn't have come feeling this pain. She then tells me that sometimes when you get hurt you realize things about yourself that were always there because of the pain. I never hurt hit it on anything and it just became inflamed and hurt. She assumed I had hit it and came in. Then she tells me that the body will reabsorb whatever it is that is causing the swelling and that it will go away. So I think cool. Then as she is leaving she is like well "Lets do an x ray" then she leaves. So I think to myself. Does she think that it will heal itself or does she think that I need an x ray? I dont want an x ray unless she thinks I need one but I have no idea what she is really thinking because she didn't even talk to me she just gave me a wam bam thank you mam diagnosis. I then go get an x ray and she comes in and tells me that it is not bone (DUH it is squishy) and that if it doesnt go away in 6 months to a year that I should come back. She says it probably is just my IT band swelling up. Well there goes $300 dollars to find out what I already know. So I figure well I will go look up the IT band and see if I can do anything to help. What... the IT band means Iliotibial band??? So it connects from my ilium to my tibia? It doesn't even connect to my fibula or go where my lump is. This lady is nuts. Stupid P.A. that thinks she knows everything and overcharges you for nothing. I hate crooked people and love people of integrity. She just amps me up to be a better person and be the kind of person I would want to deal with.

Not to mention that a lady comes up to me afterwards saying I am not on the insurance I said I was and that I need to pay the $300 before I can leave. I was like $300, I was told co-pay or $50. I told her I asked twice how much you charge and never was given a straight answer. Then she finally called the insurance company after I called my father and she heard how confident he was when he said I was on the plan. They still charged me the $50 and said the rest would be on the bill. The co-pay is $0... that didn't make sense to me.

Why can't they be straight up about their prices? Why can't they admit they don't know what is wrong with my knee? Why do they tell me to be there at 12:30 and not see me until 1:15 then make me wait in the office so I don't leave their place until 2:30? I really really really wish I would not have gone. My knee feels the same and I know nothing more then I did know other then not to ever go there again.

I can't handle all these things happening to us. It is stressing me out! I need to learn how to cope with this stuff just thinking about it is making my head spin.

Day 24- A Picture of Something I wish I Could Change

umm....nothing. I think that everything happens for a reason, and I honestly cannot think of anything I would want to change. So here...have a video. Sorry about the cleavage!

Day 23- A picture of My Favorite Book

Day 22- A picture of something I wish I was better at

I wish I was better at expressing the way I feel.

Day 21- A picture of something I wish I could forget

Some days I really wish my mind and my body could forget the sleep I did not get the night before. Vella has been waking up a lot less the last month or so, which is really nice! However, she still wakes up two or three times every night. Some days I am so sleep deprived that I feel like I am in a dream. My mind just feels really spacy and i have no energy and it sucks! I hope and pray our next one sleeps better!!

Day 20 - A picture of somewhere I would like to travel

Good Old Gilbert Arizona

By the way, I have been doing online survey's with Synovate. It is only one person per household, but I have made $30 since December. The checks take 4-6 weeks to be mailed to you, but other than that it is really cool. Here is the website to join, in case anyone is interested!

Hopefully that is the right website. Blogger wont let me copy and paste. If it doesn't work, just type synovate in google and you will find it!

Day 19- a picture and a letter

Well, now that I have my computer back I guess I will get back to finishing the 31 day challenge I started. I don't know if anyone reads it or not, so part of me wants to be done with it. In case anyone does, I will finish it! I am not really sure what I am supposed to do for this day. . . a picture and a letter? weird. Well, here it goes-

Dear Bedroom,

You are a treasure map in the making. One second I lose my phone, next I am finding a bag of skittles in my top dresser drawer. You are full of surprises and somewhere within you, you have a black hole with all of my missing things. You may think you are sneaky, but I'll find them. In the meantime, continue to surprise me with candy and money. I appreciate that everyday is an adventure with you. Love, Alex
