Also it’s going to be 99 today w a heat index of 108! Yay for summer pregnancy! It's not quite that hot here but we've been in the 90s all week and it's been so humid. I'm just realizing that having a baby in August means I'm going to need more hot weather clothes that I can wear out of the house. Last time I could just throw on sweats and yoga pants the whole time.

We have a guy here cleaning our vents and it’s taking FOREVER. And he’s a total schmoozer so he’s talking our ears off and chatting with he kids. So there goes my morning.
My mom is coming over for dinner tonight. Our town does fireworks tonight so we’ll be able to watch them on the back deck. Tomorrow we are packing up and heading to the lake until Saturday. It’s amazing how much stuff we have to pack for 2/3 days.

I'm at work trying to finish some reports. July 1 starts our busy time at work because that's when delinquent taxes get turned over to us. Super fun.

Both M & H woke up in the motn. Not sure why H did. M wanted water. I put water in her room every night. Apparently it tastes yucky...
FFWC - I heard H wake up and I pretended I didn't so MH would take care of it. I know he'll go down easier for MH and he always comments on how he's taking advantage of me in the motn...so I figured he could handle it.

goldenlove I don’t have any winter maternity clothes. So it’s a good thing I’m not due Feb/March.

tgrimes, you handle those assholes better than I would have. It's a fucking Mexican restaurant, it's not like it was a 5 star steakhouse. The only people being rude in that situation were the other table. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope they are stuck next to multiple screaming children on their next 12 hour flight.

Today is our last day in Denver. It's been so much fun and while MH is ready to get home and see the kids, I am... not. We tried to facetime with them last night and they both lost their shit (I know it's because we aren't there), but it made me not want to go home.
I technically have to work on Friday, but I'm working from home and the only real thing I need to do is our 8:30am team meeting.

So just as we were about to leave play group this morning, H accidentally hit C in the face with a toy and busted open his forehead (eyebrow). So instead of coming home and making lunch we had to go to the hospital. The doctor said it was deep enough to give stitches, but he could also try glue/tape since C freaked out at the mention of it. He said as long as C doesn't pick at it and lets it set, then the scarring won't be too much worse. Luckily my mom happened to be just a few minutes away so she met us there and sat with H while I went in with C. So needless to say my whole day is thrown off.

We're heading to the ILs place in SC tomorrow for a family weekend. Neither H or I want to go, but we've declined the invitation twice already this year so we felt obligated.
The only thing is that W was fucking horrible last weekend after coming from vacation. So if he throws a tantrum tonight or in the morning before we leave, then he and I won't go. He knows it. And it looks like a rainy weekend. Ugh.
This week has been...stressful.

Ugh danib O ran into the corner of a table and cut his eyebrow. We ended up getting it glued at the ped. There is a scar... and now I wonder if we would have gone to the ER and gotten stitches would it have healed better? ER = $400 copay and hours waiting though so that’s why I didn’t at the time.

The ER doctor said stitches would heal it slightly.better but he'd still have a scar, so it didn't seem worth it. He said to keep the scar covered from sun, use SPF60 on it and if we wanted to reduce it further buy Vitamin E capsules (cheaper than buying the oil) and just break them open and apply to the scar.

At the park with the kids. MH went with a couple of the dads from last night to some bourbon tasting thing. After H’s nap we’ll go to my in laws to swim. They’re out of town for a few weeks.

Happy 4th fellow Americans! We did the neighborhood pool this morning, then ate lunch at home and O is down for a nap. This afternoon we will hang around here to grill and shoot off fireworks w the neighbors. Last year I put O to sleep before the fireworks bc it doesn’t get dark enough until 830p. This year, I’m going to keep him up so we shall see how we does. He’s not a huge fan of loud noises but maybe w the other kids around he will be fine.

Nothing too exciting going on today. We're at my ILs for some ribs. I bought a package of fountain fireworks from Kroger so hopefully we can light those up tonight for C.

We just got home from the lake. It was a fun weekend. The kids did really good considering they never napped. Each year it seems to get easier and easier. They are both so exhausted right now so I’m going to put them down soon and hope they sleep for a few hours. My H and I want to start the new season of stranger things!

I have jury duty Monday so I’ll work on it Tuesday. I’ll probably have to pay it but I’m going to put up a fight first!

When I was pregnant with C they stopped covering ultrasounds because I got too many because I got 4 with my RE. I don't remember what happened but I did appeal.

Yesterday we took C to his first baseball game. A couple friends came too. It was supposed to maybe rain up until 4 then be clear the rest of the night. It started raining right when we got to our seats and we sat there in a rain delay for 3 hours. The rain just wouldn't stop and we didn't want to walk back to our cars in the pouring rain. At some point it slowed down to a drizzle and I told H this is our chance but he said it should stop completely soon. Nope.. it got worse. It was such a waste of a day but C didn't seem to notice that there wasn't a game on and he was pretty good through the whole thing playing with his toy airplane. We were lucky that our seats were under an awning because everyone else in the concourse was sitting on the floor and they looked miserable.
Today our plan is to stay home and actually paint the nursery. I swear we've been saying that for a month lol.

My MIL signed the kids up for the buddies program with the Astros. Today is our first time to attend. It’s a parade on the field before the stadium opens, which is 2 hours before the game starts. Luckily they have a play area for the kids and we can eat before the game. I seriously doubt either kid will be very interested in sitting in the seats to watch the game though.

I’ll probably have to pay it but I’m going to put up a fight first! You can 100% use the info they sent you in your appeal. Where is your insurance through, your employer? Do they have a broker? Ask the broker to get involved (the good ones will). More importantly if you want me to look at anything send it to me. I just did an appeal for two people, actually a third in process. Fucking insurance companies are the devil. UHC is being a pain the ass recently, the one appeal that’s in process right now is with them - and has been going on for a very long time (but in their defense, I don’t think it should be overturned so at least they haven’t denied it outright).
