CD2 - IVF#2

AF showed up on Sunday, so tomorrow is my baseline ultrasound and bloodwork for IVF#2. I'm really excited and trying to be as positive as possible. I still need to give up my one cup of coffee at work, I had my last glass of wine last night at Phoebe's birthday party, and I'll be working hard to eat healthy and take all my vitamins.

Phoebe's birthday party went great yesterday! It was total chaos and I loved it. It was a costume party and all the kids looked great. We dressed in costume too and had a great time. The kids played a pass the pumpkin game kind of like playing Hot Potato and they loved playing freeze dancing to Halloween music. Leo got them silly string and let them play with it until it ran out. My SIL helped clean it all up from the floor, LOL! Leo is the best cook. He made hot roast beef sandwiches and a sausage, bean and hominy soup that was to die for. The kids had pizza and breadsticks that I ordered. Some of the parents of the friends from Phoebe's school stayed and it was great getting to know them, but I have to admit, once we only had family and our friends left, I was able to relax. There we're still quite a few kids left, but only half as much and they we're easier to police to make sure no one got hurt. This morning at breakfast, Phoebe told me what a great time she had yesterday and that it was the best party ever!

On other matters, I love the new HBO show True Blood more and more. We watched it last night after the party guests were all gone and Phoebe was in bed. After it was over, I felt a huge let down that there wasn't another episode to continue the story immediately afterward. How am I going to wait for next week? BTW, I rarely get like this over TV shows.

And boy did it ever get cold last night. I finally turned on the heat in our house this morning to get the chill out of the air (I'm such a cheapskate right now). Phoebe wore a beanie hat and gloves to school today. The beanie hat she'll probably wear through the day, as it is stylish and matches her sweater she had on. Thankfully, I have a great bowl of soup that I'm eating right now for lunch.

Happy Birthday to your Phoebe, sounds like a wonderful party. Gosh, I sure miss East Coast pizza. I'm so sorry it's chilly, we finally turned off the A/C last week in LA! Best Wishes for great news on your u/s and labs, thanks for the update.

We don't have HBO, but I did read the books that show is based on. Give them a go! Funny and quirky combined with the gore of the vampire/supernatural world.

Good luck with the upcoming cycle.

Thinking of you and hoping for the best this cycle.

Yay for the great party! Wishing you all the best this cycle.

You should read the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer to take your mind off of things. It will suck you right in until all 4 books are done!

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...
