A Good Week

Since last Monday I have been feeling good. I am still nauseous everyday but I am not miserable. I started taking my tummy tune up again and my additional suppliment called Juice Plus. I think both of these have helped. I have two more weeks of hormones and then I can finally be done with those. At 3 months the placenta takes over and everything should be fine.

Praising the Lord right now.

This is a praise and a half. When Brandon signed us up for his ins, we missed the cut off date to bump up to the better ins so we now have the accident plan. so far i have had to pay one copay and i will get a bill for lab work. not too bad. but the killer was that there was a 700 copay for me when the baby is born and a 700 copay for the baby on top of paying 30% for labor and delivery. we were freaking out about that. i remembered that i get ins through my work which kicks in on the 1st of march. i was talking to this lady today who just had a baby and she paid nothing for visits and had to pay for lab work which i think was 10 bucks and then had to pay 100 day for being in the hospital when the baby was born. i called kaiser tonight to see if it mattered if i got pregnant before and it does not so now i have really good ins and i will not have this crazy copay. I am so thankful tonight.

i thought i was funny how clueless i was on how maternity leave went. i thought that when you took off before that you didnt get paid, well you do. so i will get 4 months plus 6 weeks of baby bonding on top of that. bran will also get baby bonding through his work!!! this is awesome.

Things change so quickely

I had my third Dr.'s apt and my third ultra sound. It is crazy how things change within two weeks. Two weeks ago we could only see a blinking light which was the heart and we could not see the body at all. Yesterday I saw the shape of the body and saw the beating heart within the body. It was so cool. Everything is looking good so now I can resume the monthly apts.

I am determined it is a boy by the way!!!!!!

Christmas presents

Well, no need to worry about multiple packages sent to California. Shannon does not have twins, she went to the doctor today. So, go to Outback all you'd like and don't worry about the wombal ramifications.
We'll try to post the new ultrasound sometime in the next couple of days.
Good night.
Papa.

Outback

Mom and Dad Capuano bought Shannon and I a nice gift card to Outback Steakhouse for our Anniversary (THANK YOU!). Although, the card said it was from mom only, no dad mentioned, and it was in Jonnie's handwriting. Oh, and it was also in Jonnie's car for 5 days before it was sent out. Very important information there.
For all of those following the story of Baby Capuano, you know that his presence in the belly of The Shannon was discovered on the eve of our last visit to Outback, which, incidentally, was also paid for by way of a gift card. Shannon has a doctors appointment tomorrow. Just as she did on the eve of Baby's discovery, Shannon's meal tonight included shrimp. History has a wonderful way of repeating itself so, if we come on here tomorrow telling you all that Shannon has twins, your response should be threefold-
1-Be very excited
2-If you want to become pregnant, ask for Outback Steakhouse gift cards for Christmas, Anniversaries or birthdays, and
3-Please stop sending us Outback gift cards or you will be buying more Christmas presents for all the little Baby Capuanos than you would prefer to buy!
Good Night,
Papa.

No News

No news to report right now. Thanks for checking in. Oh, and Peyton Manning won the Super Bowl. Shannon's a happy camper. The baby is bummed, though, because the Bills didn't make it again.

Feeling good

The past 3 days now I have felt really good for the most part. My nauseousness has settled down a bit. I do not know if this roller coaster if normal or not. What is normal with a pregnant women and her hormones? Maybe things are dying down, who knows, I am just thankful as it has made work a little better.
