I Have Two Eggs

According to the ultrasounds on Wednesday and then today, I officially ovulated two eggs on my own this month! One from each side and they are now making their way down my tubes. May they please meet up with DH's product of waking me in the middle of the night on Wednesday, LOL!

Phoebe had to come to the RE's office with us this morning, because her school was closed for a Teacher's Inservice. She's seven years old now, so there was a little "Birds and Bees" lesson involved in this visit. After the ultrasound tech left saying that it was definately two eggs that released, Phoebe and I had an interesting conversation.

Phoebe: "We're going to have two babies?"
Me: "No honey, it takes a lot more than mommy having an egg released to make a baby. It has to join with a sperm in order to make a baby."
P: "Where does the sperm come from."
Me: "From a daddy."
P: "How does that happen?"
Me: "Well, the mommy and daddy have to have sex. But we'll talk more about that when you're older."
P: "Like all that kissing."
Me: "Yes and a little more."

And then we talked about it has to do more than meet a sperm, but has to land at a good spot inside the mommy and actually start to grow, and that's up to chance a lot too. We had a great picture on the back of the door too, to show her where a baby grows inside a mommy. It was interesting.

BTW, this is not to discredit anyone that is trying to have a baby through insemination. Obviously that doesn't require sex. But I'm giving her the basics here. She's an IUI baby too, but that's a more advanced Birds and Bees conversation.

So I'm scheduled to have a pregnancy test on 3/11 at the doctor's office and if I'm not pregnant they'll do an endometrial biopsy. Keeping my fingers crossed. Having twins without having to really start injectibles would be a wonderful thing!

Wonderful news Heather. Hoping this month brings forth a sibling (or two)... :-) for Phoebe... and you can skip the endometrial biopsy.

Good vibes are flying your way! Thanks for the suggestion. We are going to Barrels on the Brandywine today (drown my sorrows).

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

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

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.
