The Days of Wine and Cheese are Over (For Now)

I'm trying an experiment. I'll let you all know how it goes. I did some more additional reading and found that if I really want to feel even better physically, and possibly get pregnant, I should give up the following:
  • Coffee (we all know this one)
  • Dairy products
  • Wheat products (no pasta, bread, or anything made with flour even if it's whole wheat)
  • Fried, greasy foods
  • Alcohol
I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens. I'm even keeping a log of what I'm eating and taking my herbs and supplements. Let's see how this goes. Wine and cheese are really hard for me to give up. I'm giving it the 21 days trial to keep with it. I have to admit it's pretty hard, and I've already been tested along the way. I went to a 9 AM meeting at work for our whole department and they had pastries, fruit, and coffee brought in. I am so proud of myself. I drank my green tea in my coffee mug and took some of the fruit. No bagel or danish for me, Thank you!

I'll be tried to force myself to post daily with updates on how things are going. So far it's 2:45 PM and I've followed the restrictions so far. Breakfast was oatmeal with dried cranberries and walnuts, two eggs, and green tea. I had the snack of fruit with the remainder of the green tea. Lunch was from the Chinese restaurant near here. I had steamed chicken and vegetables with white rice and a little sauce on the side.

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...

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...
