Nice Quiet Day

A nice, quiet day was had by all. We went to the accountant this morning. Lots of fun there. We owe money this year because of the investments we took out to put the downpayments on this house. We're trying to make sure we don't end up owing next year. We're going to be sending the accountant some paperwork to make sure we know if we should pay some extra taxes this year or if we'll be OK.

Phoebe started the new session of ice skating. She was trying out some new skates that someone gave to us for free, but we don't like them. They aren't the "good" skates that have lots of support in the ankles. Her right ankle was giving in after she was skating awhile. I'm going to have her try on the size 2 that I bought second-hand for $30. If they don't fit, she'll go back to renting again. It's only $2/week, and they have very good rental skates.

After that, we went to the old house and loaded up some more basement storage stuff to bring to the new house and started a load of laundry since the washer/dryer are still there. Then we went over to the mall. Tom got a new pair of jeans on sale and a sweater. I got some really nice bra and panty sets at Victoria's Secret. Quite cute aren't they? Then we went to Costco's to pick up some veggies and other food stuffs, back to the old house, tossed the clothes in the dryer and went back to the new house, put away all the stuff, had some dinner (rotisserie chicken from Costco's, roasted potatoes, and steamed baby carrots and sugar snap peas).

I also got to walk the dog three times today. We went down the street and back each time. so total I got to walk about 45 minutes today, which is good for my mental state. I've also been temped to cut off my hair lately. I've been thinking of something like Keira Knightley in "Love Actually." It's not too drastic, but I think a lot faster to dry than all the hair I have now. I might need a straightening iron to get the ends good. Let me know what you think. I know I need to update my picture, but my hair really is the color of hers right now. Hard to believe with the blond pic of me from last summer in the corner. Well it's getting late, and I want to write out some of the moving cards we're sending out.

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...

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
