PG - 6 Months!!!

So Sunday was the official twenty-four weeks mark (the four key still doesn't work - someday I'll get that fixed and I'm too tired to go find one to copy and paste). And yes, I said I'm tired and it's the morning. I just woke up about 15 minutes ago. I think I slept over 9 hours last night and I'm still tired. It does continue that some days are good and some are bad. Saturday was bad. I felt good during Phoebe's ice skating competition, but then when we went to run errands, I thought I was going to die (or go into labor). My lower back hurt, my lower stomach hurt, and I felt like I wanted to cry. I was able to get through Costco OK by holding onto the cart like a little old lady and then I felt fine. Sunday was a good day, but we just lied around and caught up on movies, which was great. I even got to see "The Good Shepard" which Leo has been saying is such a good movie, but it's 3 hours long, so watching without me falling asleep has been hard. I did get through it on Sunday and it was pretty good, but slow in some parts. You really had to pay attention to little details to get what was going on too.

Phoebe did great at her ice skating competition. She came in 2nd place in her level and age group and we're all so proud of her. I'll post a picture I have of her skating that is really cool, but I think Leo took the camera with him and Phoebe to his parents, which is where they stayed last night. Phoebe's on Spring Break this week and Leo took the week off. Yesterday they went to his parents to get some things done around their house. She was so nervous about the competition, she really didn't want to do it. Then after it was over she came to us and said "That was great! Can I do that again next year!" Cracks me up. And that was before she found out she placed 2nd and then she was even prouder of herself. She worked so hard getting ready for this competition, I'm just beaming with pride. And it has nothing to do with her placing and I told her that lots of times. I'm just so proud at what's she's learned to do and at how hard she worked to be happy with her own performance. Congrats, Phoebe!

Whoohooo! Way to go ice skating champ Phoebe! And Congrats Heather on 6 months! Amazing. :)

I'm in pain carrying just ONE little guy...I can't even imagine all the twinges/pulls/strains you feel lugging around twice the load!? You're my hero. So glad to hear that everything is going well for you. *hugs*

Congrats on hitting the 24 week mark. That was a huge milestone for us.

I remember the exhaustion. Glad you are able to get some sleep in.

Yay my pregnancy twin! I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well!

Great job that your daughter did. I can barely stand up on ice skates!
Yeah for Phoebe! That's so awesome.

I can't believe you hit 24 weeks! That's awesome... since you've got twins, not too much longer to go, right?

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...

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
