Both my husband and I took last Friday off from work. We each had different reasons though. I took off to help my mom finish up the last minute stuff for my sister's graduation party. He took off to go on a second interview with an insurance broker in NYC. Well, they offered him a position with a huge salary increase. He accepted and will be ( Read more... )

It was a good weekend overall. We drove to Massachusetts on Saturday to my sister's graduation. It was a very nice ceremony...BUT...it was held in one of those add on gym structures with no ventilation of any kind and it was HOT! Ok, so hot doesn't even begin to describe it, but we were there to support my sister so we sat like nice relatives, ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, my blissful two weeks of peace and quiet have gone the way of the dodo. My in-laws have returned from vacation and the craziness began while they were still taxiing to their arrival gate. My mother-in-law has this EXTREMELY bad habit of calling me at least once, if not several times a day to check up on me. Now, a normal person ( Read more... )

Mother's Day with my mom was a day early. So Saturday we all went to my brother's for a BBQ. The weather wasn't the greatest, but it stayed dry enough for the guys to get all the food cooked. We sent the 2 husbands outside to BBQ and sent the 2 kids out to play while the women got the salads together and the table set. The big guys came back ( Read more... )

I had my first regular doctor appointment yesterday. It was actually supposed to be last week, but the doctor had an emergency and had to reschedule. Anyway, this is a new doctor for me since my old one decided that she was no longer delivering babies. I kind thought that's what OB/GYN's did, but what do I know. The doctor and the nursing staff ( Read more... )

Not much new happening here. Work is keeping me quite busy lately as it seems I have inherited a couple problem child projects. It doesn't need to be a big deal, but things would go much smoother if certain individuals would check their e-mail/voicemail and actually take the 5 minutes to respond. It's all about the lack of communication and it's ( Read more... )

We have officially graduated! Graduated from one doctor to another that is. On Friday we had our last doctor's appointment with our reproductive doctor and we are now just like any other pregnant couple....finally ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I posted, but I've been preoccupied. Anyway, Easter went well. Both families were fairly well behaved so dinner at mom's and dessert at my in-law's was nice. My husband played Easter bunny for my nephews and hid tons of eggs in my mom's back yard. The oldest was pretty good on his own, but the little guy was more ( Read more... )

I think we finally figured out the Easter dilemma. Since we are apparently expected at both my mom's and my in-laws, it has been a bit of challenge to figure out what we are going to do exactly. They are both serving dinner at 2...we're Italian, we tend to eat early...mostly because it usually involves lots of food and takes a long time. Anyway ( Read more... )

I am still on Cloud 9. I had another blood test on Friday to confirm the first test and everything is looking good. At this stage of the game, your blood levels should double in 48 hours. From Wednesday to Friday, mine almost tripled! I have one more blood test this coming Friday and then an ultrasound the following week. As of today I am ( Read more... )
