Power Out Last Night

We had an interesting but unproductive evening last night. Our power went out in the middle of dinner at 7PM last night. It didn't come back on until around 3AM.

We're really lucky that we have good friends five minutes from our house. Their power was out too, but they have a pool! We went over there until it was time to send Phoebe to bed. She slept in our bed last night and stole all our covers (even when it was hot with no A/C).

Leo and I were really tired, so we went to bed around 10PM, but we all still had a hard time waking up this morning.

It's been unbelievably hot for the past several days here in the Philly area (heat index of 103F today!). I'm hoping the power outage wasn't load related and that we don't have a repeat tonight. I'd like to get some things done around the house. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to cool down to the 80s and that will be much better!

Yup! It's out of control! This morning I woke up and told my husband how thankful I was that we have air conditioning!

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!"
