Still Looking Good

Beta #2 results are in and they are good. Today was 220. They seem to be happy with my doubling time and don't feel the need to do another blood test. They want to see me for my first OB scan next Wednesday at 9:45AM. I'm quite certain with the way my numbers went up we're dealing with a singleton pregnancy. Now we just need to make sure we have a good scan next week. I'm sure we won't see the heartbeat until the following week, but I ask to see a nice yolk sac and the part where the baby will develop.

My sleeping patterns are off. I'm getting up earlier and earlier in the morning to pee and then I'm having a hard time getting back to sleep. I'm having really vivid dreams and I'm waking in the middle of them to go to the bathroom, but it hasn't been the middle of the night wakeups yet. Yesterday was 5 AM and I didn't bother to go back to sleep. Just went and made some tea and cleaned out some personal emails. This morning was 4:30 AM. That is just too early to wake up and I need my sleep these days, so I tried to go back to sleep, but my brain was still racing from the dream. I finally started falling asleep at 5 AM, just in time for the alarm to go off and me to keep hitting the snooze button. I finally woke at 6 AM.

I hope you can get some sleep soon. Beautiful doubling on your beta. :oD

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...
