Happy Birthday, Beautiful Girl!!!

Today, Phoebe Katharine, my little girl, is five-years-old. I don't know where the time has gone. You're getting so big. You even stood in front of the bathroom mirror this morning and compared your height to mine and mentioned how small you were when you were four.

It seems like only yesterday that you were born and we had so many worries about your health and future. I was so scared and trying to keep it all together. And here you are now, extremely tall, big brown (almost black and totally huge) eyes and long brown hair, smiling when I wake you with a, "Happy Birthday, little girl!"

I am so happy to have you in my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without you. May your life always be "bright and shining," just like your name means. Happy Birthday, sweetheart.

BTW, I'll be updating this later with a birthday picture.

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

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.

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...
