Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

Another day of venting. My dog needs surgery for a bleeding cyst that is right above his eye. My vet is so outragiously priced and gave me an estimate of almost 1300 to have it removed. Mind you, the cyst is about the size of a nickel. I have 2 dogs, and honestly we've spent almost 17,000 in total on them since they've been born. I asked our vet if I could sign a promisary note to pay them monthly until we get our taxes back, and will then pay off the balance. AND THEY SAID NO!!!! I've been going to this vet for almost 9 years. So if you guys don't here from me for a while it's because I'm locked up for doing some terrible things!!! Maybe I'll make the national news...lol. I'm just so angry. I love my dogs and would do anything for them. I feel like a bad pet owner now. They literally have me by the balls and I'm trying to scrape this money together...right before Christmas too!!!

NC can you get me a job??
Lol
Too early for gender clues I think (Maybe skull?) but thought I'd share pics of the baby

Oh, spinning, so cute!

3m, that stinks big time. :(

I know this is silly, but I feel like I just jinxed myself. I am slowly adding to our diaper supply (we use cloth) so I have enough of the one-size diapers I really like. Well, I caved and bought some pink ones. We have blue and gender neutral colors now, and I don't have a problem putting a girl in blue diapers. But if this is a boy, I know I'll regret the pink.

My next dr appt is on the 8th (I'll be 12 weeks) and this is the new dr, so I'd like to see if I can still get an nt scan. It's likely that she does them. But will I be too late after 12 weeks?

Oh no! I'm so sorry! Could you get pet insurance to cover it? I have pet insurance on my dogs and it is $60 a month and covers lots of things....maybe you could try that and see if it is more affordable? Why do things like this always happen at the worst time?

Spinning - those pics are so cute!!!
Shell -could you maybe call the dr office to try to get in to get the NT scan done. My office wouldn't do them after 12 weeks...

Had my 12 week doctor visit yesterday and finally got to hear the heartbeat (we only saw it at our 8 week scan). He isn't happy with my weight loss- 7 lbs in 4 weeks - and wants me to try to gain it all back by the time I go back at the end of this month. It's not like I'm trying to lose weight :(.

Anyway- my NT scan is on Monday!!! I'm hoping I see a nub or the tech will guess at gender like they have for a lot of my friends. They wouldn't tell me with my second son though. She only said that she was 75% sure.....what a jerk :). I'm just excited to see this bub again! Wish me luck- only 3 more days!

:wave: Tiffany! Congrats on your successful sway!!!

ThreeMen~ Oh no, how awful! :( You've been such a loyal client of that vet clinic/hospital, very frustrating that they refuse to work with you. I hope you can get pet insurance like Beachy suggested or something else that can help you. xxx

Shell~ FX for a pink bean for you!! If it is a boy, any chance you could exchange the pink diapers?

Spinning~ Such sweet pictures, very cute!!! :D

Jark~ Yay for seeing your little one in 3 days!

Not much to report on my end. My next visit in on the 12th and hopefully my cervix will still be funnel free.

NC we are getting a dog and looking at pet insurance. What company do you use?
