Calling All Women of Strength!!!

[mommyin10]

A Strong Woman VS. A Woman Of Strength


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.

scripps:  Your doc would drive me insane!  I'm sorry you're having to deal with that attitude.  Geesh!  I'll stick with my RE til all's well & then they'll release me to my ob.  I'm not sure when that will be.  I'm just hoping to get through Friday with good news...

[mrspace24]

Good morning everyone!  It has been a crazy morning for me already.  I woke up and took my temp first thing this morning.  I just KNEW that my temps were going to drop.  So I stuck the thermometer in my mouth and took my temp.  IT was SUPER low.  Well, it was super low because I fell asleep while taking my temp and the thermometer was barely in my mouth.  So I laughed at myself and took it again.  99.0!  That's a HUGE temp jump.  So of course I took it a few more times just to be sure.  

Then I went to the bathroom, which was my next big nervous thing.  Every month on 12dpo, I wake up, and I have spotting.  So I just knew I'd have spotting.  Nope, nothing.  I am having cramping, but I think it's still from my ovary problem.  So we'll see.

No morning sickness or nausea this morning.  Just some heartburn.  My bbs are so bad though.  They feel so heavy and my nipples feel HUGE.  DH said they ARE huge, ha ha.  They hurt.  So hopefully it's just another good sign.  Part of me wants to test tomorrow, but I'm going to try to wait until Thursday.  

stacey- I can't believe it!  Jake will be here tomorrow! I'm so excited for you and I can't wait to see pictures.  You'll be in my thoughts and prayers all day tomorrow!

mommyin10- I am so excited about your little ones.  I can't wait til your next appointment!  I hope you are feeling great!  Thanks for keeping up with my chart and giving me so much encouragement.  It helps more than you know.

luvkayln- Check out my chart today!  Whoa baby!  I want so badly to be excited, but I'm more nervous that my body is playing a cruel joke on me again. I know we all know how that is.  I'm waiting for that big temp drop still.  But hopefully it'll never happen. How are you feeling?  I love the new pictures by the way!  I'm thinking I should come down so you can help me do the letters when I am pregnant.  They look amazing!

dnikki- Hey girl, long time no talk.  How are you? How's the job thing going? How's DS?

rachjas- I said a few extra prayers for you last night.  I'm so very sorry. I hope that they can figure out what's going on soon and that you'll get your miracle.  You are in my prayers sweetie.  And know that we're all here to support you.

keyan- How are you doing? What's new?

sbumblebeeo- Hey girl.  I can't wait for your u/s!  How are you doing?

Stacey:  I can't believe tomorrow's the day!!!  That's great that you & dh were able to spend some fun time together & that he's now home with you.  Take care & we'll be waiting for your update! =)

luvkayln:  Thinking of you today!!!  Can't wait to see Addy's new u/s pics!  =)  That would be funny if #2 was a boy, huh!?  From what I've read, 99% of identical twins are two girls or two boys.  So, only time will tell... ;)

Keyan:  Thanks =)  Yeah, my doc on Sat. asked me, "who did your transfer?!"  When I reminded him it wasn't him, he let out a sigh of relief (as a joke!)  We're so happy to have a strong heartbeat on #1, but will be praying now for two =)  It's gonna be a looong week!  Just 3 more days til your last shot!!!  Woo-hoo =)

Candie:  How are you feeling?

[Keyan]

Rachjas: I am so sorry. it is so unfair. but don't loose the faith, you will be a Mom. I will keep you and dh in my thoughts and prayers.

Guesito: WOW it is a difficult situation. I wish you the best and hopefully motherhood will bring some sense in to her life and maybe to his too.

MrSpace: Can't wait for you to test!! hopefully a BFP in on the way!!

Stacey: OMG it is TIME!!! Jake will be born tomorrow!! Will you miss your belly? I think I would, even with all the scares and all. Please enjoy your last pregnant day and is so nice that you have been able to spend so much time with DH. You will officially graduate tomorrow!!! then to enjoy every minute of your baby's life!! I will keep you ALL day in my thoguhts and prayers, hoping for a safe delivery and a healthy MOM and Baby!! Take good care of yourself!!

Mommyin10: Once again, wow I am still in shock....is like luvkayln said, so Ironic...is like, if he/she was meant to be and said, "see, here I am, told you so, you transfer one, but my good brother/sis, helped me and here I am!!" ...I can't wait to see your belly pics!! and yes, 2 babies can be the reason why you are showing!! and your mom IS correct!! your body is making room for 2 little ones!! I can imagine your doc's face, he was the one making sure no multiple pregnancy occur and here you are!! Congrats once again!!

[Stacey1718]

Rachjas - Oh I am so so sorry!  This is not fair.  Everything seemed to be going so well.  I am so sorry for you and dh.  We are here for you. :(

GUESITO - You are in such a difficult position.  I think you are in the right mind to do everything you can for the baby.  Good luck and please keep us up to date.

Mommyin10 - Isn't it amazing how quickly your body changes?  You are definitely getting ready to carry your little ones.  I can't wait for your u/s update Saturday!!  Hee hee...Luvkayln is probably right.  The sneaky one has to be the boy! :)

Luvkayln - Hope you enjoy a few days off this weekend.  You have been so busy with work etc.  Good luck with your u/s!!  Can't wait to see more pics.

Mrspace - Looking forward to you testing.  Sounds like some good signs!! :)

Dh and I had a nice weekend and he is off now which is so great.  Can you believe we went to go see a movie on Sunday night and the theatre was out of power?  We had some wicked thunderstorms on Sunday and some parts of the city lost power.  Thankfully we didn't, but our theatre did!  Well, we went for brunch Sunday, dinner Sunday night and dinner last night so we definitely enjoyed eating out and spending time with each other!  I just can't believe this pregnancy is coming to an end and Jake will be here tomorrow.  I am so nervous and excited.  In some ways it feels like I just got my BFP.  In other ways it feels like It has been long 9 months!! I have had some stressful times with bleeding and bedrest but I really am so thankful.  I have nothing to complain about since my baby is healthy.  I can't wait to meet him and can't wait to post pics for you ladies to meet him too!  You have been such an important part of this journey for me and dh.  Thank you thank you!  

I will pop in a little later today one last time before Jake's arrival and post some last belly pics.  Hugs to all!

Stacey

[GUESITO]

Im sorry... Trust me I can totally relate. My heart goes out to you and family. Im totally devastated for you!!! Been there done that...Please stay in touch. Maybe we can grief together and support each other. (((((Hugs))))   :(:::::::::

[luvkayln]

Rachjas- I just sent you a note, but again, all my thoughts are with you right now! I'm truely shocked, and I'm just so so so sorry!! :(  It's just not fair, your little one was doing great! I know how you're feeling, I've been through it but at 36 weeks, as you know, and it's just absolutely devestating!! I feel your pain truely, and I just don't know why this had to happen! We all love you, please know that! We'll all be praying for you and dh! (HUGS)

Mrspace-I'm glad you plan to test soon! I sure hope it's +++++!!! :) Good luck!

Guesito- Wow, what a hard situation you're in! I agree with Mommyin10 that it's a very sensitive situation, and puts you in hard place with a hard decision to make! I'll be praying for you, your daughter and her unborn baby that everthing works out for the best!

Mommyin10- I agree with your mom! ;) Your body is doing a great job at making room for both little ones! :) I just find it so ironic still that it just basically popped up out of nowhere, what a lil' stinker, hiding like that! ;) That one must be a boy, haha!! ;)
