Foster graduated from physical therapy today; his torticolis has been resolved! We are so thankful for Amy and Robin at Carolinas Rehabilitation for all the hard work, stretches and smiles for Foster. In addition to graduating from PT Foster has mastered rolling over from belly to back...he flips and rolls constantly! He's become a lot more vocal and giggly, reaches for his toys, and is beginning to enjoy his exersaucer.
Jaxson has started rolling from back to belly and surprises himself when he does! Jaxson loves his exersaucer and stares at it while he's in his crib. He also might be a bit of a bully...which we'll have to nip that in the bud! The other day he stole Foster's paci right out of his mouth and put it in his! He also steals toys out of Foster's hands but Foster doesn't seem to mind!
The boys have been eating and growing like crazy! They are getting so big! Also this week Granny took us to get our first pair of shoes...boat shoes of course. We've gotten several compliments already. Nana and Grandpa went with us to Christmas in Davidson on Saturday...it was a little hectic navigating our limo (stroller) through the crowds but we still had a great time!
A little rant...
Our life has changed pretty drastically in the last month or so. Josh was let go after 16 years of dedicated employment and we have now have become a no income family. Josh has made looking for work his full time job...but the pay and benefits suck! I too, have been looking for work but fearing the possibility of daycare for Jaxson and Foster. You don't realize how much you relied on your job not only for income but for the benefits as well. Josh and I are becoming experts in navigating the health insurance world trying to figure how to get the best coverage for the least amount of money! In doing this I recently applied for private insurance through BCBS and was denied coverage. Why, you ask? Infertility. I was denied medical insurance because I suffer from infertility; I am not on any medications, I don't have allergies, asthma, or any other chronic illness...wow. We live in a country with exceptional medical care, talented doctors, and access to state-of-the-art medical technology...health care should not be a privilege. Our other option would be COBRA coverage which costs nearly 2/3 of our unemployment income! This doesn't leave much more for our mortgage, groceries, diapers, or much else. The point is we need health care reform so everyone has access to affordable health care. I promise not to lose site of the original purpose of the blog but felt this topic was important and directly affects our family.
Getting ready for Christmas in Davidson...check out our new kicks!
Just after bath time hanging out in their robes.
Jaxson (and daddy) brought me a flower.
