Weekend Updates

What a wild ride this weekend! Apparently DH updated his reading my blog on Friday, and of course, I got in trouble, but I think we worked it all out for now. Of course it had to do with baby making. He thinks I'm obsessed, because that's all he reads on here. As I explained that this is the purpose of my blog as I don't discuss or write any of this stuff anywhere else. This is my outlet for baby making thoughts. Plus, he's not crazy about the thought of going back to the doctor. It was crazy when we've done that before, but as I explained and it took all weekend to sink in, I've changed a lot of things in my life and diet since the last time we were at the doctor and I have a better feeling about it working this time. But I also had to explain that I'm not ready to jump back in again on that front. I want to get some more finances cleaned up first as well as continuing to clean up my health. We also talked about how he is still ambivilent about me getting pregnant versus adoption (he'd rather adopt at this point). He said he knew how much I liked being pregnant, but that from his perspective he was worried all the time. I think this conversation (which were really multiple conversations during the weekend) were good. He understands where I'm coming from and I understand him. But it sounds like he's willing to try the doctor route one more time again, if it comes to that.

On the other side, I bought PreSeed on Friday. It should come in soon, which is good because I'll need it towards the middle to end of this week. I also bought a yoga video package on Amazon when I ordered the PreSeed. I'm so excited to get this in. I've been wanting to see B.K.S. Iyengar in action for a long time. And to have this many of his classes in one place!!! I'm calling it my little birthday splurge.

So I'm definitely going to fully go for it and devote my heart to this desire to be pregnant again. I know my next hurdle is giving up wine and making sure I'm really careful on what I'm eating. I want to have more time to relax with yoga and visualization exercises. Phoebe's starting to be interested in having a little sister again, but we've mostly talked about adoption. I asked Phoebe how she would feel if I ever had a baby in my belly (careful to let her know this wasn't true). She said "I'd jump up and down and scream 'Hooray!'" You and me both, baby.

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...
