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.

Stacey:  Haha! I know, you're right :)  I'll remember giggling at you when/if that happens to me ;)  You're so right, it's like winning the lottery.  Even doing a 5-day transfer reduces the risk of the embryo splitting!  I just hope that if the second one makes it, they are able to grow & do well inside my tiny t-shape...
So, tonight's date night with dh?  What movie will you see?  I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time!  Enjoy :)

[Stacey1718]

Mommyin10 - LOL....you laugh now!!! Just wait a few months! :P It is pretty amazing that there were 2 sacs.  I bet the odds of twins in your situation, with everything you did to avoid them, are the equivalent to winning  a lottery.  Although this could be a way better prize!!!  Your doctor must have been amazed!!  Now I can't wait for your u/s next Saturday.  I should be coming home from the hospital that day if all goes as planned.

[mommyin10]

luvkayln:  Thanks =)  Yes, it is a huge shock, especially because last week's u/s only showed the one sac, plus the fact that we only transferred one embryo! =)  Of course, we still have concerns because of my uterus, but we did everything we could to avoid multiples, so if the 2nd one thrives, it truly was meant to be :)

Stacey:  The doc always said there was a possibility that it could split & we'd have twins, but we did everything we could to avoid that happening.  He said if we ended up with twins, then it was God's plan & he'd have to throw up his hands in defeat ;)  Also, at last week's u/s, they actually looked for a second one just to make sure, but only saw the one.  Yes, seeing the hb was just amazing!  I still can't believe it =)  It just verifies for me that there is actually a life growing inside of me & although I knew that, I still feel like I need to pinch myself!  I'm sorry, but your peeing when you sneeze or laugh totally cracked me up! hee hee ;)

rachjas:  Sorry you're starting to get sick! ;(  I know how you feel... I won't complain either.  It's been such a struggle to get to this point.  I do hope you feel better & can't wait til your u/s on Monday!  Take care!!!

[Stacey1718]

Mommyin10 - YAY!!  So happy about the heartbeat!  But I am in shock about the twin?!?!  How the?!?!  It is amazing and what is meant to be will be.  :)  So happy for you guys....hope you are celebrating!

Luvkayln - Know what is funny?  I have been carrying fairly high with Jake....my ribs have been killing me for months!  Although I think he actually has started to drop because I am feeling pressure whan i sit straight up and am back to peeing myself when I laugh or sneeze (sorry....TMI but it happens!!!) LOL

[luvkayln]

Mommyin10- That's just absolutely amazing!! I'm still in shock over it, as I'm sure you and dh totally are! ;) How ironic that this situation was trying to be avoided b/c of your uterus, but happened anyways! God is truely amazing, huh?! ;) Hopefully you 2nd little angel holds on, we'll all definately be praying for that!! I know seeing 1 h/b today was a huge relief, and I'm just so happy for you and dh!! I really hope that a week from today, you see 2 beautiful beating hearts! Congrats!!! :)

Stacey- I meant to mention something to you about your post on one of my pics, about me carrying low! I carried low the whole time with Kayln too! It was funny b/c I remember one time at work, a lady who worked there who I didn't see very much, asked me when my little boy was due! And when I told her we were having a girl, she just stared like she couldn't believe it b/c of how low I was carrying! lol ;) I know Addy still has a lot of room right now, but everytime I feel her move, it's always down real low by my pubic bone, never up high. And that's exactly how it was with kayln, so maybe one of these days we'll have a boy, and watch... I'll carry him high! :) Enjoy your weekend with dh! :)

Rachjas- Thank you! :) Monday will be here before you know it, and you'll be able to see your little one again! I'm sure your nauseated/vomiting feeling will be over soon! Mine started real bad about the time yours did, around 6-7 weeks, and then really started subsiding a few weeks later. Everyone and every pregnancy is different though, but hopefully you'll start feeling better soon! :)

Well, it's already 2:30 here and I have to be at work at 4:00... :( So I better get ready! I just really want to have a lazy day today, but it's someone else's BIG day, so I better wake up and get in the wedding spirit! :) I'll check in later! Enjoy your weekend ladies!! :)

[mommyin10]

So, our appt went great!  We saw a beautifully beating heart & what a relief that was =) But then....  we got a shocker!  There are two sacs!  The second sac has a yolk, but no h/b, so we'll have to wait til our appt next Sat. to see if there is a viable twin!  The crazy thing is that we did EVERYTHING possible to avoid multiples because of my uterus & so, if we do have twins, I guess it's just meant to be...  I posted our pic from today.
