Music, Cooking and More

The iPod is the most amazing invention ever! I got for Valentine's Day a 160GB iPod classic. It is the best thing ever! I've downloaded a few individual songs that I love, but wouldn't buy the whole CD. And subscribed to a few Podcasts. One is Flylady's weekly show. Next thing I want to get is one of those iPod docks, so I don't need to use the headphones. This would be really helpful for the yoga sequence podcasts from Yoga Journal. They sound great, but I can't do yoga wearing headphones.

Last night was a good night for me. I was able to spend some time in the kitchen. I juiced my wheatgrass flat that I got from the health food store. If anyone is interested in doing this on their own, I bought an Omega 8005 juicer which can juice vegetables and wheatgrass. It's worth it to me, because I knew I would use it. If you have a health food store near you, they probably won't have a flat of wheatgrass in stock, but they might be able to order it for you and call you when it's in. That's what mine does for me. I juice it all at once at home and then put it in ice cube trays in the freezer. Each ice cube is 1-oz, which works out great. In the morning when I wake up, I pop one ice cube out to defrost and it's usually ready by the time I finish showering and getting ready to walk out the door. I also made roasted red peppers last night and tonight I'll be making roasted red pepper hummus with some of them.

I also got to practice yoga last night before bed, which was so relaxing. All in all, it felt so decadent.

Tonight I get my hair colored and my eyebrows waxed. Phoebe's coming with me too. I think she wants a few inches off her hair. Not too short though. I love her long hair!

I have a Zune, which is similar to an iPod and I am so thankful for it. Music is so important to me and, like you, I usually would not buy a whole CD so I LOVE it!!
You are so good to your body...I feel so guilty now for eating Whoppers (the candy, not the burger!) today!!! Just waiting for my jogging stroller to get here and kick me into gear!!!

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!"
