Nova Nation

Early in the pregnancy when we found out we were having two boys, the one thing Leo bought were Villanova onsies. Leo got his MBA from Villanova and is really into cheering on their basketball team. It's so hard to get pics of the boys in something matching, because usually one of them will spit up all over their outfit. And I'm being kind when I say "spit up" usually Leo or I have to change too it's so bad. To say I do a lot of laundry around here these days is an understatement. But, without further ado, here are the boys in their Nova gear!










BTW, I'm not sure if you can tell from these pics, but it seems both the boys have my blue eyes. Which I find very funny since Phoebe has really dark brown eyes like her daddy. Glad to see I get to pass on some of my genetic material to my babes.

I'm so glad to hear they're off the monitors - what a relief! I well remember the spitting days - I was so happy to be done with them. We kept burp cloths over everything - the boppies, the cribs, the playmat; we eventually used an old comforter on the floor when they started playing more, and then just threw it away when they were done spitting!

I really do think we get blessed with happy babies when there are two (or more?) of them!

They are adorable! The eye color genetics are a funny thing, aren't they?

They are so cute. They're not identical, right? Because they sure look it, don't you think?

Anyway, I sympathize with the spitting up. My daughter did it so terribly that I did 2 loads of laundry each day (her clothes, bibs, my clothes, sheets, and all the dishtowels I ended up using as spit up cloths). Then she stopped almost over night. It was really just over that fast (of course it took 6 months, but... still!) Some docs can recommend meds & stuff but it seemed like it was just a normal thing and my pede assured me she'd get over it which was good because I didn't want to have to give her anything.

Ok, just a long way to say that I sympathize. Though I can only imagine how hard it is with TWO!!! So nice to have a big sister helper. Congrats from a delurker.

Hubby works at Nova (public safety) and he is ALWAYS bringing home hats, t-shirts, footballs, etc.. I think I have more t-shirts than the basketball team!

Your boys look good in Nova Blue & White.

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...

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!"
