IVF#2 - CD4 - Happy Anniversary to Me

Today is my 14th wedding anniversary. Holy cow! Time flies when you're having fun. Last I remember, the Phillies were in the 1993 World Series and I was dating my Leo. We went to two of the World Series games that year, since we had preferential treatment for all the regular season games we went to that year. We tried this year, but we couldn't get any. We did take Phoebe to one Phillies game this year and did get one of those photos of our family they took for us. I love that pic. It's on top of our entertainment center.

On time, I am feeling kind of out of it the past few days. I feel like there is never enough time for everything I want to do. How do other people handle those feelings. Sometimes lately I feel like it takes all my energy just to get through the basic tasks of the day and never get to the extra things I want to do. There's so much with my life I want to do, I'm afraid I'll never get to half of it. I must admit I'm scared sometimes at the thought of having another child considering my time to get things done will go down again. I try to remind myself I'll just need to get more creative with my time and I know I'm pretty good with that. I do know that if I'm really busy, I get more things done than if I'm only moderately busy, so I know it's a good thing for me to be really swamped.

I'll be watching the World Series game tonight - Go Phillies!!!! I'm wearing red today!

Go Phillies! I feel overwhelmed alot too, I just try to go with it, not fight it or beat myself up over it. I think it's a side effect of Super Woman Syndrome. I am working on being kinder and gentler with myself. You and I probably get more done by 9 am than most people do all day! ((Hugs)) and Happy 14 th Anniversary to you and Leo!

Happy Anniversary! As for the time thing, I've just become accustomed to not having time for anything. It makes it easier to put off the things that aren't as important. It will all get done eventually, right? At least that's what I keep telling myself. :)

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...
