Things are very wierd in JIML. I saw what I thought was a wild cat (the dangerous big kind) the other night when I was bringing the dog out. We ran back in pretty fast. The strange thing is that the next morning I was really questioning my senses the night before. I thought I saw an animal the size of our yellow lab running from the neighbors yard into part of our yard where the water basin is (we have 2 acres of land, pretty big, so it was still quite far away), but I could've swore it looked more like a large cat and I thought it roared at me! Although it sounded like a cross between a roar and a meow.

Now, let's preface this with that I've been very tired this week. I've been trying to get more sleep, but I'm still really tired. I've been like a walking zombie all week. I'm just tired all day. I rally every now and then, but in general it's sheer exhaustion. I think it's PMS. I need to get back on the Chinese herbs to make this PMS crap go away.

Another wierd thing happened this week. There have been symbols of hope for me actually getting pregnant. Go figure. First was this post from The Infertile Gourmet about spiders as fertility symbols. That night I was watering the new plants in the front of the house and there were spiders EVERYWHERE! The immediate next day, my mom calls and said she went to this fortune teller she goes to and she told her two things about me:
  1. I just finished a big chapter in my life. (Duh, I think that was buying and selling our primary residence.)
  2. I would get pregnant before Christmas this year (WHATTTT!!!!!!)

Now the day before this all started, I was thinking about looking at a new personal protocol of going back on the Chinese herbs, but then also including Pre-Seed and progesterone cream for next month. Maybe this means if I do these things I was thinking about they will work? If I wasn't researching these things, would these signs have showed up?

I'm very much looking forward to a non-weird weekend. Tom will not be in school this weekend, so we'll get to spend lots of quality time together. Can't wait!

maybe the fortune teller really knows something, who knows? It's nice though to get a kernel of hope. I went to a "healer" (not sure how to call him otherwise) recently, and I'm still more hopeful now than I was before.

It is nice to have hope, isn't it! I hope that all these signs are pointing towards a happy and healthy 9 months in your future. Wouldn't it be nice to close the door on infertility for a while (hopefully forever)?

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...
