Advice for Adelyn

From quotes that I like...

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

‎"It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It’s not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right, your perceived failure can be a catalyst for profound re-invention." ~ Conan O'Brien

Sleep!

June 13th - Adelyn slept for 5 hours straight last night! I wonder if it's a one-time thing or if it's the start of a new trend.

Update - It was a one-time thing. She's back to sleeping 2-3 hours at a time.

Cost of having a baby: $12K+

Our total hospital bill was $11,995.90. Insurance paid $10,905.05. So our out of pocket cost for having Adelyn was $1,090.85. Here's the detailed breakdown:

• $828.00 for a spleen ultrasound for my low platelet count
• $9.246.90 for my labor room/delivery, recovery room, lab, med/surg supplies, pharmacy charges
• $89.00 for a platelet count check for my epidural
• $1,832.00 for Adelyn's nursery, lab, pharmacy charges

In addition there were charges from the OB and Anesthesiologist:

• Can't find my OB bill at the moment (will fill in later...)
• $2,097 for the Anesthesia services (only $36.52 out of pocket though)

First Date Night

Andy and I had our first date night on Saturday to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. We missed Addie, but had so much fun dining at BLT Steak and drinking our '93 Silver Oak Napa Cab!
