I'm Back!!!

Sorry I've been so absent lately. Work has been very very busy, but great. I did get a promotion to Senior Manager just this week, although I've been doing the job for the past year. I'm very excited and we've been working on our goals and have been getting out more for dates.

The boys are doing great. Tommy is starting to talk a lot. He says: Mommy, Daddy, Phoebe (Bee-bee), Liam (Ee-Um), Night Night, Lights, Shoes, Hello. It's so cute. Liam can say some words, but he doesn't like to let people see what he can do. He'll try to say: Big Bird, Hello, Mommy, Phoebe. They love to dance and play "Ring Around the Rosie". They also love pretending they are reading books.

They got their hair cut at a kids hair cut place. Tommy did really well, but Liam didn't like it, so I let him have a lollipop through the whole thing. Liam had all his floppy hair cut off and it looks like Tommy's now. I love it! He'll never be mistaken for a girl again.

Here's a pic of the boys before their haircut using their new plates, forks and spoons:



Here's a pic of the boys post-haircut. Aren't they such big boys!!! Liam is on the left and Tommy is on the right.



Phoebe is getting very big! Hormones are rampant these days. I need to take her shopping for a training bra. She needs to shower more now or the under arms will get stinky and she needs to wash her face every night to keep her skin clear. Please help me!!! Love her though. She is so sweet and she also agreed to start testing for her ice skating levels, which is a huge deal. It will require more commitment from her on that and she's up to the challenge.

My piano lessons is coming along. I'm pretty excited about it. I've been eating properly most of the time, and I started exercising again this week. Hope everyone is doing well!

Wow! You've been busy! I love that you're taking piano lessons...one of the great loves of my life.

The boys look ADORABLE after their haircuts (before too, you know what I mean). Mine hated it for a while too...they were much better when we went recently.

Love date nights...have one tonight!

It sounds like your life is very full. Congrat's on the promotion--it's nice to get recognized for what you're already doing!

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...
