Came to say the same thing. We’ve got car, home, jewelry, and earthquake bundled together. I’m sure I’m overpaying for my 11 year old car, but that’s just one element of the bigger picture.

I’m glad it’s so easy to buy now. It was locked up at Walgreens but on the shelf. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. $50 was a lot of money for one tiny pill. And oh, the look of pity I got from the clerk with an infant in a car seat and a toddler in tow. Glad I got my iud earlier this week.

My only NFL game was in December 1993 in Cincinnati and it was so, so cold. I can’t remember ever being colder. But at least we won. One of three wins the whole season.

If you have a full-time job that withholds years and a part-time job that doesn’t, then I recommend just increasing your withholdings at the full-time job. No extra headache of making quarterly payments. Even if your part-time job withholds taxes it might not be enough because they don’t account for your other income…

I’ll probably just be looking for outerwear for the babies.

I almost can’t believe I’m saying this but I’ve been contemplating hitting the stores at 5am on Black Friday. My 2 month old has been waking up pretty consistently then and I figure the stores actually won’t be too crowded because most people will go Thursday evening.

Thank you for the reminder. The nurse scheduling my appointment recommended 800 mg ibuprofen 30 minutes before my appointment. But I think it’s also easier if you’ve had children. Fingers crossed here, I don’t want to scare the toddler during the procedure.

I never could get my insurance to get the mail order to work andi was also paying for my last pill despite the ACA. The mirena is no charge and no daily pill which is tough to remember since I’ve got 2 under 2 right now. Also, my ob recommended it because I have endometriosis.

Mirena goes in on Monday. Baby #2 is 8 weeks old and he’s definitely the last one. I just don’t want to go back to daily pills and monthly trips to CVS.

When it went into effect, the only child families did a little better that first year. But rates go up every year no matter what.

My insurance automatically covers my babies for the first 30 days but then we switch them to my husband’s insurance, which is much less expensive for dependents. I don’t know that the 30 day coverage is universal.

That changed at my employer and they said it was due to ACA. We pay per kid now. But my husband’s employer is still one rate no matter how many kids. Luckily, we used his with the first kid and just stayed with baby #2.

Selma really is older, but just a few years. I love her but it always felt miscast to me

I used ancestry to help find my bio dad. I found his brother and totally Google stalked my first cousin. I found him by using one of those people finder websites, had to pay the monthly fee to get an address and phone number. Then I hired someone on fivrr to call the number and confirm. We talked once on the phone and…

I don’t know about Beth, but they are welcome near me, with open arms.

Natural Family Planning

I have a friend with four NFP babies. The first one came just hours after her last final senior year of college because she got married the summer between junior and senior year. She was an honor graduate with an engineering degree and now she’s a homeschooling SAHM who teaches NFP.

Yeah, endo sufferer here. They didn’t figure it out till I couldn’t get pregnant. Years of bc pills were self medicating. Just had baby #2 and I’m waiting for insurance pre approval for my mirena. Ob said he would have recommended it before if I hadn’t been trying to get pregnant. I certainly couldn’t imagine going…

I mailed my ballot last week, so I was a little sad I didn’t get to take my toddler

I can’t believe mine voted for HRC but he admitted it this morning. He’s repulsed by trump but he’s usually a party line voter (in a very blue state). I thought he’d abstain completely. He also voted for Obama over McCain but he voted for Romney in 2012. Even his super conservative family wasn’t voting trump.
