PG - 19 Weeks 3 Days

Wow! It's so hard to believe I'll be 5 months along next week! Time is going by so quickly with Phoebe's activities, work being crazy busy and of course that nasty cold that is still making me congested and cough a lot.

But I'm back at work and things are starting to get back to normal. Leo called me a spaz this weekend, because I had so many important things with deadlines that were whooshing by. Phoebe's registration for her first ice skating competition was due on Saturday, she had her First Reconciliation at church on Saturday and my car registration and inspection had expired. We also had dentist appointments we had to cancel in January that I still hadn't rescheduled and work stuff was getting all backed up.

Between the weekend help that Leo was and having an unexpected snow day that wasn't that bad on Monday, and then two days in the office of not too many meetings, things are getting more manageable now. Saturday we left the house at 8:30 AM, handed in Phoebe's competition registration, went to her First Reconciliation (we're Catholic, it's also called confession) and then to the grocery store. Sunday I got all the bills done and registered my car online, but I knew I still couldn't drive it until I got the inspection completed and the new inspection stickers on the car. The snow day on Monday allowed all that to happen. Phoebe's school was closed and Leo postponed his work trip to NYC. The roads were clear by noon on Monday and it stopped snowing! Then I called the car inspection place and they were open and said to come on over! So I worked from home on Monday and at lunchtime Leo and Phoebe came with me to get the car inspected. I also on Monday got to call the dentist and reschedule our 6-month checkups!

I went back into the office Tuesday and between that and today, I've been getting caught up on some work stuff. There's still a huge amount of work stuff to do, but as long as I get the critical things done, we're doing OK.

BTW, riddle me this - why is it that a common pregnancy "symptom" is to drop things all the time during the time in your life when you really don't want to bend over and pick them up? I think it would be really nice for either that "symptom" to go away or for gravity to stop working for pregnant women. What do you think?

Whew!!! I got tired just hearing about your schedule. Sounds like me. Not enough hours in the day to get things done! I'm not sure why pregnant women drop things, maybe because it is your exercise! LOL love Mom
Busy, busy, and glad the time is going quickly.

ha, I also get very clumsy during pregnancy and have dropped many things. My husband laughs at it and tells me to just reach more slowly for things. :)

Wow, I'm sorry your pelvis is hurting so badly. I wonder if these early aches and pains are due to the twins or not. We can't agree on names, either. It is hard!

Another twin mommy at http://youraverageinfertilityblog.blogspot.com/ is dealing with that pain, too. It doesn't sound pleasant.

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
