The Next Steps

Yesterday I called out sick and slept all day. I was so sick it didn't even affect my ability to sleep through the night. I went to bed around 10 PM. I woke up a few times, but was able to go right back to sleep. I still feel bad but I was good enough to go into work today.

Today I called about the house. We're still trying to find out if it is possible to put an inground pool in the way the land is situated. They still don't know. But then Tom and I called to extend our Home Equity Line of Credit and got some good news there. We're looking to do this for the down payment on building the new house, but if we're not sold on the idea of that one, we can pay off all our credit card bills and the car payments! That would free up a lot of our cash flow for other things we could do around the current house.

I also called Chrysalis Natural Medicine Clinic and made an appointment for 5/16/05. I've been reading The Infertility Cure and I'm really interested to see how I can improve my overall health as well as stop thinking of myself as infertile. This clinic is very close to my office. I've become very disenfranchised with the medical community. I'm not very crazy about specialists for everything and not looking at the whole person. Also how medical studies are never done for natural remedies as all medical studies are done by drug companies who cannot profit by something they can't patent. I've researched some natural remedies for my luteal phase defect and I've had good success with being a regular 28-day cycle with taking Chaste Berry Extract once a day and False Unicorn Root three times a day. If I just take the Chaste Berry, I go to around a 26-day cycle, but False Unicorn Root seems to help. I've also been taking oregano oil for sinus infections and bacterial vaginosis I've been having problems with. But somehow I feel I could be doing something more to improve my overall health. I'm willing to try other herbal remedies and acupuncture.

I have really been enjoying my acupuncture appointments thus far. I hope you find it as relaxing as I do. :-)

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
