Brainstorming

Now that Nadia is finally sleeping a little longer I am finding myself not being able to sleep well. I keep having crazy dreams, not nightmares necessarily but pretty close. Once I am awake I find myself doing our budget in my head, thinking of what I can make for dinner the next night, trying to remember if I have to work the next day. I am usually pretty good at calming my mind but there is a whole new world of things that you wonder/worry about once you are a mother. I had myself so worked up that I just had to have a talk with my boss today. We make decent money, but as I have said before our health insurance is a huge drain on us. Add to that the 20% we owe for our hospital stay. I told her that I was ready to take on more hours if they were available. We also talked about life issues and afterwards I felt much better. She told me there is plenty of work for me so I can get as many hours as I need. We again talked about me activating my license, but I think I will hold off a little while for various reasons. As long as I am making decent money I am happy. I love the fact that they are so easy going and flexible. Most importantly, they are good hearted and fair. I am checking into different health care for us in hopes that I can find something that is reasonable. I found a few options today that look promising.

In other news.... Jacob told me he had been thinking about Brick possibly coming out here to stay a couple/few months. We talked about it and we think it might be fun for him to get away for a little while. We spoke about it prior to him even bringing it up to Brick so he was very excited to call him today. Brick liked the idea, so we will talk after Christmas about how and when he will come down. I had to assure my parents that they would not miss out on any babysitting time. LOL We are not bringing Brick out here to be a babysitter! Crazy parents, they love their little Nadia. I felt so bad for Nadia today. I got her after work and had to do some grocery shopping. Lets just say that's not easy to do in heels lugging a baby carrier. When we got home she just started screaming bloody murder. This just isn't like her, I have never heard her cry so hard. I felt so bad for her. This continued on and off for quite a few hours. I cried with her because I felt so helpless. She was looking at me with those sad eyes all welled up in tears. I was afraid she was starting to get constipated, and had picked up a few items from the store to help, but it was too late. Poor girl was in so much pain all because she couldn't poo. Finally she was able to and she has been the happy baby we are used to. I am going to do everything I can to keep that from happening again, it was horrible!
