Woo Hoo

If anyone knows my favorite comment to the newly pregnant, it's woo hoo! Well it can officially be used for me now. My beta HcG result was 121. Which the nurse said is a great initial beta. I go back on Wednesday for a repeat beta to check the numbers.

So for those thinking IVF may not work, I cut out the caffeine, ate healthy - including some macrobiotic recipes with seaweed in it, drank decaf green tea, took lots of vitamins and supplements, tried to relax with music, yoga and Julia Indichova's visualization exercises as well as prayer. Think positive!!! I'm so happy for all my blessings right now I could just burst. It was a long road getting here, but I strongly believe that I was meant to learn many lessons along the way, which I will try to stay true to.

I'm really happy for you! I am exactly where you're at - a believer in the power of positive thinking. Now I just need to apply it to myself! ;) I bought Inconceivable & The Fertile Female through Amazon so will look forward to getting those in the next few months. I guess I've had so many negatives thrown at me from a medical perspective that I end in the end believed them and pulled the plug on TTC recently. However, like you say, I think I am meant to learn from this. I meant to learn that I have the power within to create some pretty amazing things in my life. So now I see another baby for us as a possibility - not the impossibility it has seemed for so long. Your story is inspiring Heather. I wish you only the best.

Next few weeks I meant to say - about the books arriving. I'm in New Zealand so they'll take a while to get here from the US.

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
