PG - 10 Weeks 5 Days - Happy New Year!!!

I actually came into the office today to get a head start on the work that needs to get done next week, but mostly since my brakes needed to be done and the car dealer is up the street from my office.

We're going up to the Poconos to see my family for the holidays. My mom is a nurse and worked most of the time over the holidays, so there was no point in going up earlier. Can't wait to show everyone the photo album of my ultrasound pics. Next Monday is my last ultrasound appointment with the RE. The following Monday I have the nuchal translucency test in the morning at Maternal Fetal Medicine at the hospital. Then I have my first appointment with the OB office in the afternoon. It's only with the nurse practictioner. Not sure when the next appointment will be after that. I think I should be expecting to have another ultrasound around 18 weeks.

Other than that, the holidays were nice. I'm glad they are over, but it was nice to be off while it lasted. I just wish I didn't get this nasal cold that I seem to be fighting off the last week. I'm not sure if it's the pregnancy or the cold that is making me want to sleep so much. I had one day this week that I kept taking little catnaps, but they weren't refreshing. I felt like a walking zombie all day. I slept 11 hours that night and felt much better the next morning. I can't wait for the 2nd trimester, so I can be a bit more alert.

BTW, Leo did ask me if I had any new year's resolutions this year. I told him the only one I had was to deliver two healthy babies. Sounds reasonable to me. Everything after that is icing on the cake.

Fantastic resolution! :) I think I may have to follow your lead and set the same goal for myself. (Other than the whole twins thing!) Can't wait to see an US pic. Looking at the precious little babes never gets old.

Hope you feel better soon! Being pregnant and stuffy nose/nasal issues are no fun! Take care. *hugs*

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...
