NC Trip Update

I have lots of updates! But we'll start with the oldest info, my trip to Cary, NC. The trip was good, but flying was a nightmare, both ways. When we were leaving, I got to the Philly airport early, but hit a massive rush at both ticketing and then security. I had to ask some people in line at security if I could move ahead because my flight was boarding. They let me through, but then I still had to run all the way from security to the gate. I was the last person on the flight. Coming home our flight was delayed 5 hours beause the plane had a mechanical issue and was being repaired. We were able to get on an earlier flight, but then our baggage didn't make it on our flight and we had to wait for the next flight to come in and it was on that flight.

The trip once we were there went well. We saw the presentations we came to see and the vendor took us out for a really nice dinner. I was so tired, though I couldn't sleep. I was afraid I wouldn't wake up because that day I woke up at 3:45 AM to get ready to leave and then we got back to the hotel from dinner at 11:30 PM! I woke up about three times that night jumping up to look at the clock to make sure I didn't sleep through the alarm.

The other funny thing was the last presentation the vendor gave us had nothing to do with what we do or need, so I got some daydreaming time in. I haven't been able to do something like that in ages. I was able to come up with several ideas for writing some of my own Bridget Jones fan fiction, so maybe one of these days I'll get around to writing it.

My next post will be about my fabulous birthday this past Friday!

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...

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...
