Well! Without going into any embarrassing details that may traumatize little Jellybean later in his life, allow me to say that I reached the breaking point with my nausea today - and inability to hold back the vomiting in public! (Enough said?) I called my fabulously wonderful OB, Dr. Susie Weber - no relation! - just to find out if she would fill me in on vitamin B-6, which she had hinted before might help. When I told her what happened, she said that she could prescribe something for me. There were a lot of options, but only one that didn't really knock people out for the duration.

So she called in a prescription for me. Apparently it's a pill used to help control nausea in chemo patients, so it's got to be strong. She said that she didn't know if insurance covered this particular drug, so if I walked up to the counter and they said it was like $800, walk away and she'll find something else. (I laughed.)

I walked up to the counter and it was $25. It wasn't until I called my Mom to let her know that insurance did indeed cover it that I checked the normal price.

SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO DOLLARS FOR THIRTY PILLS!!!

So! It's no free breadsticks at Fazoli's, but God's grace is evident once again in this pregnancy! (Although I honestly have felt so lousy lately that I might have paid almost $21 a pill if it helps!) I'm praying - and would ask for your prayers as well - that it will be highly effective and not necessary for very long!

Also, everyone at work now knows. Jodi Cutler at the other office just gave birth to the most gorgeous little boy - Jaxson Dale Cutler. (Great name, too!) So I made sure to tell her first, then let it trickle from my boss to everyone else. So I have NO MORE SECRETS! Which will ease my mind a lot! Maybe it will ease the nausea, too...

God's mercy has been so evident in this time of our lives that I guess I feel really whiny for all the complaining about the nausea. Jonathan and I have been confronted with some pretty serious health issues through the past couple of weeks, but we have incredible peace - which for a couple of worriers like us is proof positive that God's grace is gigantic! I just get my socks blessed off when I think of how wonderful things have gone! This kid has the hand of God on him before he has to breathe his first breath!
