I'm Feeling The Love!!!!




Wow! I feel so honored! Martha at A Sense of Humor is Essential (which I think is an awesome blog name!) gave me this award! I will also do her meme that she tagged me for in the same post.

Here's the rules for accepting the award:

Linking back to the person who gave it to you.
Paying it forward & nominating 7 blogs. (See below)
Leaving comments on their blogs telling them they’ve received one. (Will do)
Enjoying the award. (I'm so flattered!!! Trust me!)

Here are my 7 nominees for the "I Love Your Blog" Award

Merlot at Swimming Against the Tide
Tertia at So Close (not that she needs the press, but I think she's awesome!)
Shana at SashaLili and all her other wonderful blogs for her gorgeous children
JJ from Reproductive Jeans
Mands at The Secret Garden
Billie at BillieBlog - she takes the best pictures!
Loren at Baby Wait - she's not waiting anymore!!!

Now here are the rules for this Random Meme:

1. Link to the person who tagged you. (That would be Martha again)
2. Post the rules on your blog.(here you go)
3. Write six random things about yourself. (Don't laugh, okay?)

1. I'm afraid to get my hair colored right now. I'm waiting for my beta test on Tuesday and even after that I think I will be afraid until I see some proof that my short period of time with bleach on my hair will not affect my unborn fetus(es?). Even though my hairdresser is due to have her baby in one month and it's her second. BTW, she had a hard time getting pregnant with #2 and I love her to death, even if she's semi-fertile.

2. I'm a Roman Catholic that likes to meditate and study Wicca and Buddhism. I think I have a great spirituality to me, others might think I'm a spiritual mess.

3. I am a semi-vegan, in that the more recipes I learn, the less dairy, eggs and meat I consume. But I'm also really healthy about it. I'm into whole foods cooking and drink lots of nutritious herbal teas like nettle tea. I don't drink red raspberry leaf or red clover tea right now as they cause uterine contractions - not good when pregnant or especially in the first trimester, which I may be in and just don't know for sure!!!

4. I had a little voice in my head when I first saw Leo that said "That's the man you're going to marry!" Funny thing is we were both involved with other people at the time and we didn't really talk for another two years. I just stared at him from afar!

5. I'm obsessed with Bridget Jones and Gone with the Wind fan fiction. I think it's because I love stories of women who aren't perfect but they are very strong.

I will also do the same as Martha and tag the folks I nominated for the award. Enjoy! I love all my bloggy friends. I have to admit picking just 7 favorite blogs was really tough, so I tried to get a cross section of types of blogs I love. Just because you weren't listed doesn't mean I don't love you too! You should look a the list of blogs I follow. I know it's huge!!!! Love you all!!! Mwwwwaaaahhhh!

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...
