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.

Luvkayln: Congrats on a great appt yesterday!! YAY for the 7th!!! OMG, I can't beleive the countdown actually started!! I am so excited for you and Dh!! Thanks for the good wishes for me!! ..I am starting to get nervouse!
Sbumbleebeo: Like I said on the note, we are all here for you! Don't worry for feeling sick and wanting to have your baby in your arms and skip this whole 9 months thing! probably everyone feeling sick would feel the same! I pray you start feeling better and that the rest of your pregnancy you feel excelent and are able to enjoy it.
Mommyin10: Well I was thinking more like at 17dpo, only because I am not really sure if I did Oed or not and just to give it some time...lets see how my temps behave and of course if AF stays away.
scripps: I will be thinking of you tomorrow, hoping for a great surprise!
Ladies: keep rubbing your bellys for me, Please!!

My appointment went great today! :) At our u/s's, Addy is given a 30 minute time frame to do certain things such as breathing, move so much, etc. Well, our 1st timed u/s was 3 weeks ago, and she took the whole 30 minutes and needed the buzzer to scare her to get her breathing; last week she only needed about 20 minutes and I had to roll on my side to get her to practice breathing; BUT this time she only needed 5 minutes! and was breathing as soon as the nurse started the u/s and was SO active! It was awesome! Each week she's improving so much and I'm just so proud of her! :) My NST went great also! I kept having to hold the hb monitor down on her b/c she was doing so much moving it couldn't keep an accurate read on her! lol ;) I guess she just really enjoyed that banana we ate for breakfast! Haha!! :) I didn't get a weight on her b/c apparently we're only supposed to do her measurements every 3 weeks, so that was a bummer but at least I know she's doing great!! My induction date is schedule for December 7th and we go in at 6 am!! Yay!! My doctor said she'll check my cervix the week before, which will be Dec. 1st and my last appt! :) and if my cervix is hard as a rock and not thinning out at all yet, she'll have me come in the night before and start my induction then just so I'm not in the hospital forever, which is awesome! Either way, she'll be born on the 7th and then Kayln's birthday is 10 days later on the 17th! I think that's cool! :) I got a few new pics of her today, in one of them she's sticking out her tongue at us! lol ;) She was just so cute today, showing off her little personality! OMG, i feel like I'm writing a novel! Sean wasn't able to come with us today b/c he broke his collar bone! :( He has an appointment in the morning with the surgeon to go over his xrays from the ER from last night, and then we'll schedule his surgery. He's in a lot of pain right now, but I'll keep you guys posted on his progress!
sbumblebeeo: Sweetie, don't feel bad! We all know what you're saying! It's hard being pregnant sometimes, and we know you just want to get through it and get your baby safely here!! I swear the day we found out, I was like " OK, I'm ready to deliver!" lol ;) I do love being pregnant, but I've been lucky and have had an easy pregnancy (knock on wood!!) but we're not all the same and pregnancy definately affects people differently! :) Your anatomy scan will go just fine, don't you worry about that! I totally understand about your nightmares, I have them all the time too! And I swear my hb monitor is just a godsend, especially when she's not being very active or if my mind starts playing tricks on me!
Keyan- Awww, thanks! :) It's funny b/c I literally look like ALL pumpkin in the pic! lol ;) Tell dh thank you too! :) I agree with Mommyin10, your chart looks great and I'm crossing everything that yesterday's temp was implantation! I can't wait for test day!! :)
Ok, I'll upload my new pics now! :)

mommyin10- I'm here. I guess I just don't have anything to report but these headaches never seem to get better. I can't barely stand it anymore. One monday when I see the doctor I am going to ask if he can give me something for it. I waited untilt the second trimester for it to get better like the book said, nothing. I bought new glasses $400.00, nothing. I take sinus meds daily, they help a tiny bit. I do ice packs and they only work while the ice is there. Nothing helps. I hate to complain but I wake up with a headache and go to bed with a headache every day. I hope he has some idea.
On top of that...Most people get excited about their upcoming doctors appointments...me not so much. I start having nightmares. Sunday was really bad so last night I went to bed at 7:45 and slept the whole night through. I have so many nightmares. This time the doctor told me he couldn't find her heartbeat anymore and they would have to take out the baby. I couldn't sleep so at 5:00am I got out the heartbeat monitor until I found it. It helps in that moment.
I can't really say that I enjoy being pregnant and I feel like that makes me horrilbe. We worked so hard and so long for a baby and I secretly feel like I hate being pregnant. I just want to skip this whole 9 month ordeal and get what I really want... a perfectly healthy baby. Everyday has been physically hard on me in some way or another. There isn't anyone that I feel I can talk to b/c my family just says "this is what you wanted" which it is. And on here.... I feel so guilty b/c I know what it's like to go through the TWW and get the BFN's time after time. I know they all feel like they would be happy to have a headache everyday if that meant a baby and I do too. It's just hard day after day.
I bet you are sorry you asked... sorry. I don't usually vent that much. I saw your picture. You look great. I can't wait for your anatomy scan. I can be excited about yours...I'm just fearful about mine. :(
Take Care and Thanks for being here all the time.

You really looked adorable! ...I know when Addy grows up, she is going to love that pic! ...I saw your note..thanks! ...and probably I will just wait it out, and maybe if no AF by next Monday, I will test then...of course If I start feeling any symptom, other than feeling like AF is just around the corner, I will test sooner.
