Calling All Women of Strength!!!

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.

mommyin10- I can't wait to see your new u/s pic! Post ASAP!

luvkayln- I love your new pictures! Your belly bump is sooo cute! Her name is going to look so good above the crib. I am anxious to see the final pics!

AFM- I was without the internet for a few days... DH & I were playing with our littlest puppy..she rolled over on my internet card (we had the verizon wireless). So, I had to wait a few days until I was able to get a replacement. Anyways, about a week ago I noticed that the nauseous feeling was getting worse....burps... heartburn.... now it has turned to vomitting. Don't get me wrong... I love the symptoms, but it hurts! I hope this means things will go great Monday!

Mommyin10- Thinking of you today!! Can't wait for your update! ;) I sent you a note, but just had to tell you again!!! ;) Good luck and post your news asap! Can't wait to see more pics of your growing baby! You'll be so amazed at the difference! ;) At this point, Adalynn looked like a fish! lol ;)

Mrspace- I read your journal entry, gosh, that sounds terrible about your ovary! But what great news that you indeed ovulated and your lining looks so great! :) I definately agree that there is a great chance this month for you, I really think you are pregnant!!! Your chart still looks absolutely amazing!!! And please don't wait till 17 or 18 dpo to test! That's rediculus! I tested 2 days before AF was due and got a BFP, so at least test on the day AF is due, k? ;) Good luck!

Candie- I totally agree with the others! Please don't wait! There never will be a "right" time and something will always come up when ttc! Like Stacey said, you are healing and that's great, but if there is a concern that we don't fully understand, do what you feel is best for you to fully heal and then be back in the game! :) I'm just in total agreeance! I want your name on that BFP list SO bad! ;) Let us know what you decide, but I do think since you are healing, although not as fast as you'd hoped, that by the time you do get your BFP, this will all be in the past and you'll be feeling great! I'm very hopeful and ready for you to start your Femara, and I know you are too!! We'll support you in either decision you make though! :)

Stacey- How cool that dh is now off for the next 4 weeks! :) That will be a big help once Jake does arrive, b/c you'll need that extra support while trying to recover from your surgery! I think it's ok for you to cheat a little on the bedrest! ;) You're so close now anyways, that if something were to happen, like you start bleeding again (Knock on wood!) that you'd be OK b/c Wednesday is just right around the corner! Which is still SO hard to believe! Wow! ;)

sbumblebeeo- Awesome numbers, congrats!!! :) I know you are now feeling SO much more relieved! You will see so much at your first u/s!! You'll probably cry, I did at Adalynn's 10 week u/s, that was the first time we saw her move! :) Now just relax until your u/s, and then post pics so we can see your little one!!! :)

Well, I better get Sean up for work! The alarm keeps going off right by his head, and he doesn't even flinch!!! What's gonna happen when we have a newborn crying by him in the bassinet, he'll just continue sleeping?! Yikes! I have to be at work at 4:00, we have a wedding/reception tonight until midnight, and then my trainee and I have to stay until 1 am or even later to set up for tomorrow morning's reception, which starts at 10:30! It'll be a long night I believe, and then I'll have to jump right up and work the reception tomorrow, but at least I can sleep when I get home on Sunday! :) My next u/s is Tuesday, and then I'll have the whole weekend off next weekend, so there's a few things to look forward too! :) I got Addy's bedset set up yesterday, and her name is now complete so I'm just waiting for Sean to take down a shelf that's above her crib right now, b/c I don't like it, and then I'll hang her name there! Then I just need to get her curtains hung up, and a few more wall decorations, and I think it'll be pretty much complete! Yay!! :) Anyway, I'll be checking in later and looking for Mommyin10's update! ;)

Hey everyone. I'm 8dpo, and didn't go to work.  I ended up at the hospital yesterday.  I wrote a journal entry about it. I don't want to retype the whole thing here.  I'm doing fine now, but it was a long day.

I have to wait until next weekend to test now (which *****) but oh well.  I will write more later... I'm at my mom's right now.  Sorry it's so short.

At least my temps are still going up.

Mommyin10 - Thanks for the countdown to Jake's birthday!  At this point every single day seems like milestone!!  I cannot wait to hear about your u/s tomorrow.  What time is your appt?

Candie - I am in total agreement with Mommyin10.  You are not being silly....just cautious as you should be.  But I do think dh has a point in that it will never be the perfect time.  I am so happy that your doctor feels that everything is healing fine, slowly but surely.  By the time you get your BFP I bet you would be feeling just fine!  Time to get back in the ttc game as Mommyin10 said!  But of course if it really concerns you and you do think there are bigger risks then we understand.  I am just so excited for your name to get on that BFP list!!!

sbumblebeeo - Congrats!!!  Excellent number!  You must feel so good about that!  Your u/s will be awesome because you will definitely see a heartbeat at that time. :)

Dnikki - Great name choices!  I love Brooke and Logan.  Peyton is very cute too and not too common.  Glad your sickness seems to be easing off.  How fun to DJ a wedding with dh!

Luvkayln - You are such a little crafty woman!  I am so excited to see Addy's finished room.  You are doing an awesome job!  I really did not put nearly that much creativity into Jake's room! :)  Good for you.  I love your belly pics....you are looking great.  So glad your sister and baby are doing well!!  And yes I am glad that I know I am having a c-section.  I think it would be awful to go through hours of labour and then go to the c-section.

Well, I am very glad it is Friday!  Dh is now off work for the next 4 weeks.  He will be checking email etc from home but for the most part will be available for me, Jake and Honey.  It will be nice.  This weekend we plan to finish everything (not much left to do) but I also want to go for brunch to our favorite restaurant, go for dinner and maybe even see a movie.  Yes...I am going to cheat on the bedrest!  But, it is our last weekend together as a couple so I really want to go on a few "dates" because it might be a while!!

I'll check in over the weekend!  Hope everyone has a great weekend and SSBD!!

Stacey

Rachjas:  Happy 8 Weeks!!! =)

Stacey:  5 days to go!  Wow, Happy 36 Weeks!!! =)

Luvkayln:  Congrats to you & your family! It sounds like baby Zeke is doing great!  I can't wait to check out your new pics & how special that your dad is making Addy a dollhouse/toybox!  I love handmade things like that, they are so meaningful ;)

dnikki:  Love your name ideas :)  I vote for Peyton Brooke.  It's pretty and not real common & it incorporates two of your choices :)  There's a little boy across the street named Logan & he is adorable, so I like that one too! =)  So, do you & dh DJ together?  How fun!  Have a great weekend!

Candie:  No, you're not being silly, but I agree with dh.  The timing will never be totally perfect.  I understand your concern if you don't heal or need to have another procedure, but so long as your doctor says it's okay, I would get back in the game! ;)  Now that you have a 3-week window to hopefully be healed, maybe ttc will keep your mind away from your other issues ;)  You do what you feel is best.  You know we'll be here to support you! =)  I'm so glad your doc says you're healing appropriately & should be back to your normal self very soon!  Take care  =)

sbumblebeeo:  What great news first thing in the morning! =)  Congrats!  I know how you feel, I've only had one BFP in this long ttc journey & I too am officially further along, so it is exciting =)  Your u/s will be here before you know it!
