Latest Happenings

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've last posted.  There is so much to say, but up until now, I've had very little time!  With COVID-19 having me working from home, slowing down my husband's looking for a new job, Phoebe home from college, and the boys home from school, all we have is time!

We are looking to make the best of our time here at home, as we are lucky to have what we need to stay at home (food, water, wi-fi, movies) and all of our family is healthy.  This week, the boys were working off a checklist of things to do for schoolwork, they had a piano lesson using FaceTime, and I started exercising on our elliptical most mornings and getting dressed for my day.  I'm trying really hard not to lounge around in leggings and work out clothes!  I even put on a little makeup every day, at least to not scare myself in the mirror or look totally awful on Zoom calls with work.

We're definitely making good food in this house.  With Tom being home and this time of us all here it's good we have an elliptical machine to burn the calories!  Tonight's dinner is fish and chips, but the boys are having homemade cheese pizza.  This week Tom did make an amazing French bread.  Two loaves were gone in 24 hours!!!

Hope everyone out there is healthy and safe!  What kinds of things are you doing to keep your sanity?  Are you able to stay home or do you still need to go to work every day?

It’s good to hear from you! I am a healthcare provider, so I am still working. I’m currently at the hospital after a long week, off at 8am and very, very much looking forward to being home tomorrow and Sunday before another stressful and busy week.

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!"
