It's London Baby!

We're in London now, baby!  Back at a station called King's Cross...  let's all sing the Pet Shop Boys now!


I really loved London!  It was everything I ever thought it would be!


Don't I look happy with my Phoebes?


I do love a man in uniform!


The Prime Minister wasn't taking my calls


And yes, the bell is called Big Ben and not the tower, but let's go with it OK?


The London Eye was fabulous, sorry Marcia, no grey skies this day!


And this is not the London Bridge as some think but the Tower Bridge.  And it was fabulous!  Grey skies came in, Marcia!


Let's have a pint and some fish & chips



Sir Thomas More is one of my favorite saints.  Here's his name at a memorial for martyrs.


The streets were extremely clean, so I had to take this photo


Cab anyone?


Had to find a red phone booth!


And just as red are the royal mail post boxes


Architecture everywhere was amazing!!!  The second photo of Westminster Abbey is the background for my iPad right now.



Considering we just came from South Africa, this seemed appropriate.  I'm so sorry to hear he is extremely unwell.  Very amazing man.   


View from the Eye.  It was a grey sky day.


Window shopping on Bond Street.  Thankfully, it was closed.  I didn't need any shoe-venirs.


Had to go to Borough Market on a Saturday morning before we had to go to the airport to go home.


A carb lovers paradise!


Bridget Jones did not come out of her flat.  Maybe she was lucky and moved out to marry Mark Darcy....


Two of my favorite moments with Phoebe - first dancing with the guy outside the one souvenir shop.


The next was almost immediately following with some guys that were acting like they were statues.  She gave them a pound or two (I think? Can't remember).  This is what ensued....


The trip was so lovely, but it also feels so long ago.  So much has happened still since we've returned and I need to update you on so much.

I miss London so much! Great pics!
I love these photos so much! LOVE the ones of Phoebe :)

PS Kendra says she wants to wear her long-sleeved Ts like the "girl who lives with Aunty Heather and Uncle Tom".

We said, "phoebe?" and she says "yes, Phoebe leaves her top til the middle of her hand and that's how I want mine"

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...

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.

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!"
