PG - 14 Weeks 1 Day - Ultrasound Withdrawl

Nothing exciting to report. This is the first Monday since I was 6 weeks pregnant that I haven't had an ultrasound. I won't have another one until 2/23, so I'll be wondering until then what we're having. Thankfully, since I feel them move every now and then - it is still too early to be consistent - I feel that everything is OK.

Everything else is completely busy though. I never really seem to have any time for any quiet time for me - unless I'm comatose sleeping. I'm busy at work - Friday was horrible I felt terrible at the end of the day it was so horrible. I'm busy at home - keeping up with laundry and bills. Thankfully Leo has been doing most of the cooking. I like to eat, but I'm too tired to cook.

We bought Phoebe new ice skates on Saturday. They are a size 5. Yes, a women's size 5!!!! She's only 8 years old!!! She really measures as a size 4, but in order to keep her in her skates longer, they always let you go up a size. It really doesn't affect their skating. She just needs to get used to having a bigger boot while she skates now. This week, her coach will be giving her the routine for the exhibition in March, so we'll be spending more time at the rink to practice and make sure she's ready. I hope this gives her the confidence to do more shows. She really is good and her coach says she's got the perfect build for an ice skater. And she's really quite fearless. She was born the Year of the Golden Dragon (2000) and that is one of the qualities of people born that year.

Oh, and Happy Chinese New Year! These babies will be born in the year of the Ox. A very good year for a steadfast, hard-working person. I can't fit into my silk Chinese jacket right now, but I wore my jade necklace that Leo bought me in China. It has a Chinese character on it that is supposed to mean "happiness." May we have lots of happiness in this new year!

Happy Chinese New Year to you and your family. That is so wonderful about Phoebe, how thrilling. I hope you get some quiet time so you can feel your bouncing babies. Thank you for the update and nice birthday greetings to our 11 y/o.

UGH. I hate U/S withdrawal. I went through it too and its tough. Luckily, we are just around the corner from February and the 23rd will be here before you know it. And you're feeling them already? That's so exciting!!!

Oh-I know what you mean about the u/s withdrawals. I've got a 12 week u/s on Wed for my NT scan. Then I won't have another until week 16. Us infertiles just love procedures, don't we? Hang in there!

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
