Special Baby Package


I know a lot of you have been asking what we need help with for the baby and today we found the greatest deal ever! It's a package deal that includes just about every essential we'll need for the little one. We are going to pay monthly for it so instead of gifts I would really like cash or checks so we can get this thing paid off within the 6 months that we are supposed to. The package is customizable so we can choose the fabrics and colors of the stroller, bedding, and all the other stuff that includes that! (THE PICTURES ARE JUST THE EXAMPLE OF THE PRODUCT) Here is a list of what all comes with the package so you guys know exactly what the money will be going toward. almost everything is either Disney or Graco brand, the crib i'm not sure what the brand name is, but its nice!

Crib (4 way changing so we can use it through the toddler age) - includes ortho firm mattress

matching changing table (with padding, drawers, and shelfs)

Rocker glider with matching ottoman (the one BJ is sitting in, but in Cherry.)

customized stroller with a car seat (has tons of cool compartments and thing that tells the temp. it can be folded up with one hand!! it's awesome!!)



deluxe high chair (that moves to 5 different sizes so if you want to sit you can match it to you height and it has a tray you can take off and wash along with the permanent tray.)

complete bedding set (Mickey Sports for a boy....purple butterfiles for girl)

complete gift tub set (bath tub, bottles, bibs, a few diapers ect..)

15 pc soft goods (my choice of clothes, bibs, bottles, burb rags ect..)
Umbrella stroller

deluxe walker (baby can use starting at 4 months, it has removable supports so when they get older they can walk around instead of just bounce or rock..it turns into a baby rocker too)

soft mink blanket

bassinet (probably the pooh bear one, but its my choice)

and thats about it, so it's quite a bit of stuff and the good thing is we can change things out if the baby ends up being the opposite of what the dr. told us. we are going to wait until we know for sure what the baby is before we start customizing everything! so if your interested you know what to do :) Thank you sooooo much! Anything will help!! The total cost of it all is a whopping $1600, but considering the quality and amount of stuff we just couldn't pass the opportunity!

Gallstones

If you didn't already know, the doctor had me do a series of sonograms for my liver, kidneys and Gallbladder. Everything came out excellent except for my Gallbladder. He did a whole bunch of bloodwork to find out if I had any infections or abnormalities to worry about and thankfully it all came back excellent. My Gallbladder apparently has been like this for a while. It's contracting, which means it's diseased and I have Gallstones. So the good news and the bad news. The good news is that they aren't going to do anything because I haven't had any painful attacks AND there is no infection. I have go on a low-fat diet to help from getting those attacks because if I do then I could end up in the ER and have to have major surgery while pregnant. He said the way it looked I shouldn't have any of those problems. The bad news, which I actually find a blessing in disguise is that I do have to have it removed. If everything goes well, I can wait until 6 weeks after the baby is born and then do an outpatient procedure to remove the stupid thing. He said it's just better to do it now and get it over with because the stones can come back and I may potentially have a very bad problem with it. So I thank God that he found them early and we can do something about it before it gets worse I'm very thankful that it's nothing else, especially because this is an extremely common issue. It's nice to know that I share this with MANY women and I'm not alone! The last thing is, I know some of you might be wondering how it will affect me and the baby afterwards. It won't! It's an outpatient procedure and the healing time is outstanding SOOOO it will be just fine! I ask you guys to PLEASE keep me in your prayers that I don't have any attacks and I will be able to make it until after the baby because the it's not good for me or the baby to have the surgery done in the next 7 months!
