CALLING ALL WOMEN OF STRENGTH!!!!

[dnikki0928]

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.
A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.
A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

[dnikki0928]

Sorry Ladies! Starting a new thread....CALLING ALL WOMEN OF STRENGTH!!

[GUESITO]

Yayyyyy!!  so excited for you hat a blessing!!  Congratulations!!


Stacey- Thank you!! We have also chosen this baby will be the last. We are so blessed and happy!

[MichiganBaby5]

Hi ladies,
  It's been awhile since I have been on here but I was hoping I could get some info from all of you. We are about to start our second round of ivf doing a FET and I am not sure what to expect. We have 8 embryos frozen and the doctor says based on quality we will probably only get two more cycles. I am just looking for stories on other experiences as well as advice. Thanks so much !

[Stacey1718]

Good afternoon my friends!  I just wanted to check in and see how you all are doing and it looks like a lot of good news!  Congrats again Guesito, Krichar, Kaylee and dear Luvkayln!  So exciting.  It's nice to start the new year with such nice big BFPs!!

We are doing really well.  Jake is almost 17 months and every week gets better and more fun.  He is 32 lbs (big boy!) and is starting to say quite a few words (his versions anyway).  I'll post a recent pic :) He laughs and runs and is starting to be a real little man.  He must be going through another growth spurt because he is eating like crazy.  We have no plans for #2 at the moment.  After IVF, a high risk pregnancy and getting through the first year with Jake we are just going to enjoy life and what we have for the moment.  If there is a #2 for us it won't be for a little while.  We want to start travelling again and enjoy a bit of freedom which we are starting to get back now that Jake is older.  And of course we still have our furry Honey girl to love.  

I wish you all a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2011.  Lots and lots of babies!!!  XOXOXOX

[krichar]

Yay yay yay!!!! I am so excited for you! That is awesome news... I knew it would be good news! Happy happy new year to you, dh and little addy!!

AFM- 12 weeks today.... WOO HOO!!! And heard little smudgies heartbeat this morning! I feel so super blessed and thankful! What a great 2011 this is going to be!!

[luvkayln]

Well ladies, my u/s went great!! :) The baby measured a day ahead at 7 weeks putting my due date at August 18th! We saw a beautiful heartrate of 126 bpm! Our next appointment is Jan 27th. We're SO excited, and feel so blessed!!!

Kaylee_frye- I hear ya, I'm exhausted by 6pm every night! It's sad! Haha!! :) It's more exhausting I know since we're chasing toddler's with these pregnancies! ;) No nye plans here! Staying home with my hubby and baby. :) I'm excited that I'm off this weekend, finally be able to sleep in! (hopefully!) Do you have your first u/s set up yet?

[trh0819]

That gift is precious and you will certainly treasure it. I was kind of hoping hubby would be sentimental this Christmas, and he did not disappoint. He picked out all on his own with no help or suggesting from me (this is HUGE for him) a cushion cut amethyst ring that will be baby's birthstone. It's gorgeous. I couldn't have made a better choice. Now, if for some reason baby decides to come sooner, I guess I have a pretty purple ring... but that just means I'll need another f the new stone. HA! It's a win-win either way. But I was so touched that he thought about something so meaningful to me.

[Kaylee_Frye]

Aww - it's great to see you back on here!  I've been sick and going to bed at like 7:30.  There will be no aggressive, career catapaulting 14 hour days in my future for a while...

What are all your plans for NYE?  I think I'll sleep.

[luvkayln]

Krichar- Thanks girl! That means a lot! :) As far as how I'm feeling, no other way to describe it except I feel so.... pregnant! lol! All the symptoms are here... tired, sore bbs, headaches and nausea. But it's just reassuring to have all the right symptoms I suppose! :) I do have a good feeling this time, but we'll see tomorrow! Christmas was awesome! Addy was SO cute!! She opened all of her presents by herself, of course we started it for her so she could get the idea. It was so funny b/c she had to get every piece of wrapping paper off of her present, and then show us each piece! lol! If the pieces were real small, she would try to eat them! Haha! It was so funny!! How sweet your dh got you the gift certificate for the spa! That will be a nice, relaxing treat! :)

Guesito- Aww, that's so sweet dh got you and your daughter the necklaces! That'll be so special when you both can wear them together! :)

Ok, u/s is in the morning at 11:30, and my OB apmt is at 1:30 so that kinda stinks but we'll just go get lunch or something. My dr's office is 30 minutes away, so it's not like we can go home for a couple hours then come back. It's ok though. :) I'm praying for good news, and will update either way when we get home!!

[krichar]

Thats so sweet! I told dh nothing baby related. That is all he got me last year and I lost the pregnancy. He did however get me a gift certificate for a very fancy spa and hair salon to go get a makeover when I feel up to it.... So that was nice! Other then that just my mom and brothers came over for dinner. I shouldnt have cooked though... I was not feeling well at all but it is dhs favorite Part is my turkey dinner so I couldn't let him down! Seeing as he wanted nothing for Christmas but that, lol!! I am still trying to clean up... I took down all the decorations already! Just needed the space back!

[GUESITO]

I Had a great xmas! Hubby was so sweet he got me and baby a gold necklace with a locket her says daughter mine says mommy. I wont wear it until shes born we both wear it at the same time.  How was yours??

[GUESITO]

amen to that Krichar wouldn change it for the world!!

[krichar]

You are in my prayers!!! I am praying everything is just perfect! How are you feeling these days? how was Christmas? I bet Addy had sooooo much fun!!

Guesito- woo hoo!!!! 25 weeks, that is awesome! How Was your Christmas?

AFM- I am 11w4d and listen to babies heartbeat everyday!! So I am technically past when I lost kashton back in February. It's a good feeling but still nervous. I will be better after my nt scan next week. Hopefully little smudgie will still be measuring big still and put my mind to rest. If he/ she measures into the 13th week (baby has been increasingly measuring bigger every u/s) then I will technically be into my 2 nd trimester and feel better!!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and all of those still working towards their bfp's I am praying 2011 is your year!!! Anyone have any new years plans? I know it would have been nice to drink the family away at Christmas...lol! But I wouldnt trade this for the world!!

[luvkayln]

I'm here! :)

Guesito- Congrats on 25 weeks!!! :) The glucose test was awful with Kayln, it was like fruit punch and it made sick! With Addy, the drink was like watered down sprite, so not too bad! :)

Well ladies, my u/s is Thursday, only 2 more days and I'm SO nervous about it! I'm just praying everything's ok!!! I'll be 6w, 6d the day of my u/s so baby and hb should be seen! Keep your fingers crossed for us!!! Gotta go get ready for work, working a double today... fun! :( Hope everyone has a great day!!!

[GUESITO]

Wheres everyone?? We need a new thread this is getting long.. Im 25 weeks today hope ervyone is doing great.. My next ob ob Thursday 12/30 glucose screening yuk!

[GUESITO]

Merry X mas to all.. .To those still waiting on BFP have faith 2011 will be a better year!!!

[bfromthed]

been off for a few weeks lots of holiday things going on will be ttc in January 2011...praying the New Year brings new bfp's! Happy holidays everyone be safe! Sticky vibes and baby dust

[krichar]

I'm still here but also have alot of last minute shopping to do... Lol!!!

[rachjas0623]

Happy Holidays to everyone!

[luvkayln]

Where's everyone? :) Last minute shopping? lol!

[luvkayln]

Krichar- Yay! So glad to hear everything's going great!! So happy for you!! :)

Kaylee_frye- Welcome back!! How cool we're preggo together, and at the exact stage! We're just one day apart, lol! :) How are you feeling? I hear you about being bloated! Crazy how things really get going once your body's been thru it before! :) We just had a m/c in July when Addy was only 6 months, but I'm feeling better about this pregnancy. I feel "normal" whearas before I had a feeling something was wrong. I've been really tired, bbs super super sore, and had some headaches here and there. The nausea really hasn't set it yet. When's your first u/s? :)

AFM: My u/s date got pushed up a couple days to December 30th, just one week from tomorrow! Yay! :) I'll be 6w, 6d and am praying we see a baby with a hb!! Been feeling good, symptoms are getting stronger every day. The nausea really hasn't set in yet, but I'm sure it's coming, lol! Hope everyone is doing great, and has a wonderful Christmas!!! :)

[Kaylee_Frye]

I don't think it was TMI, hardly a PG-13 rating.  :)  I can understand how the worry would add a very unsexy burden to your lovelife while you bring your little angel into the world.  I wish you the best.

And I wish for me, the ability to instill the same fear in my husband :) at least until I'm through the first trimester.
