Garden Update

The garden is looking fantastic!!!  I can't wait to start getting some of the fruits of our labor.  But for now it looks beautiful.


Some of the veggies we're looking forward to - zucchini and yellow squash:

Tomatoes
Radishes (these should be ready soon)
Strawberries

And a fig tree in the corner


We also have some cucumbers and beans.  The flowers and other plants in the front yard are doing very well too!  The deer usually eat my day lilies, so since we've moved into the house, I've never had a decent crop of flowers.  This time, I sprayed them with deer off stuff at just the right time and it seems to be working.


Here's the flowering bushes in our front beds

And we planted topiaries in the planters by the front door this spring


Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of summer!

YUM!

Our day lilies are super hardy, but the only thing else that grows consistently is our herbs.

We haven't planted yet. Oops! Maybe this weekend?

I love it!

Looks soo much more put together then the hodge podge of plants we're growing. Is the netting for deer? We're running into a bunny and I believe ant problem. I love the bunnies that live under the shed, I'd just like them to find dinner elsewhere!

Note for all, the low stone wall is to keep out bunnies and groundhogs. The netting is for the deer. We are in the country, even though we are in a neighborhood that looks pretty suburban. So there are lots and lots of critters where we are.

Your garden looks wonderful! I am hoping to have a garden once I move, but it will probably have to wait until next year... Hope mine looks half as pretty as yours!

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!"
