Week Recap

I'm really glad to see this week over. Phoebe has been at her grandparents all week and I'm feeling like she's starting to overstay her welcome. Thankfully, we are picking her up tonight and she'll be with us all week.

I also didn't mention this, but I threw a diaper shower at work for my co-worker that is having her third child next week. We waited so long because the lady that works for her was going on vacation for two weeks, so the planning was also all on me. I ordered the cake, sent the invitations and collected the diaper fund $$ from the folks that participated. I'm glad I did it, and I really have no hard feelings, but I don't think she realized I organized it myself instead of the admin who usually does. I don't think our admin was that crazy about throwing a shower for someone who will have her third child as she's fighting infertility issues as well. Myself, I kind of give her a bit of credit for managing that many kids so well.

The other thing that happened this week to make my heart stop is I thought I lost a friend's cat this week. We're cat sitting for friends of ours that have three cats. Every day we've been going to their house, feeding the cats, cleaning the litter boxes, giving them some love and bringing in their mail. They live like 5 minutes from our house so it's no big deal. Last night, as I'm feeding the cats in their respective spots, one of the three cats isn't there. And its the one I've affectionately labeled "love whore" I can't give love to anyone else when this one is around. After searching the entire house high and low, I saw some pictures had fallen off an end table near the couch. The cat was of course, stuck behind the couch and trapped by the end tables. I didn't think any of the cats could've gotten out of the house, because they don't really make a mad dash to try to leave the house, and even though they don't, I'm still paranoid every time I open the door to the house.

I'll be glad for a nice quiet weekend and next week, please.

Wow, you really did have an adventurous week! I hope you got some R&R in this weekend.

That was really nice of you to throw the diaper shower. I hope she was appreciative of your efforts, considering what you're going through.

XOXO,

I agree w/Kristen. That was really nice of you. On the other hand I threw a shower for my best friend when she was pregnant w/her first child (at my house and everything). I felt good for doing it, but it was bittersweet.

Again, with the nice! Watching your neighbors cats!!

That was so nice of you to take over the diaper shower planning. I am going to be throwing a baby shower for my BFF in November and I'm not looking forward to it. Although I will get through it, right?

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!"
