Wonderful News

I have the most fabulous news ever, so you'll have to excuse by wine-blogging. I can't call it "beer-blogging" like "beer-goggling," as I don't touch beer with a ten foot pole.

Remember our best friends K & G where K had a miscarriage last month? Well, she's pregnant! She called me last night saying that she's been taking her temps this past month as I instructed her and wanted to know how long they should stay high, as she'd been high for 18 days. I told her to take a test in the morning and let me know.

During the day, I was going crazy with anticipation. I called her on her cell and left a message for her to call me on her break. She did and told me it was positive and she'd had the doctor do a blood test and it was over 700! I told her that was fabulous. She didn't know how fabulous. I think she's in shock.

So I have a question for my fellow secondary infertiles out there. Are you happy when friends and family have been trying hard for one and make it? I am. I think I have more of my little green monster come out when friends and family don't have issues adding on to their existing family. I think it's because I have Phoebe.

But this baby will be very special to us. They are our best friends. I'm starting to think of a quilt pattern to make for the baby once we move into the new house. So, congrats to K&G, our best pals. They will be some of the best parents ever! I'm positive this one is going to work out for them. Those are just fabulous numbers!

That's really great!! I try to be happy to everyone who's having a baby - it's such an exciting time. It's hard to keep the green monster in check but I think it's healthier all around for you to be happy.

I actually have a hard time with pregnancy envy or more broadly envy of reproductive health. And although it's mostly with people who have no problems adding to their family (as I have one daughter), it comes up with others, too. Not always, but unfortunately often enough.

I think it's great that you're so happy for your friend!

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...
