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.

sbumblebeeo: That's great you're not dilated! :) I'm actually not bored yet, just uncomfortable at times. The first two weeks actually went fast. I should have my glucose results tomorrow & I'm looking forward to my appt Fri! It's nice to see the babies & feel reassured that all's well :)

ad_06: That's great your appt went well & you heard your baby's heartbeat. And congrats on jumping ahead a week! ;)

mommyin10-  That is great news!  I don't understand why you wouldn't go back for 4 weeks though.  I am not even dilated and my doctor is seeing me every 2 weeks from now on.  I would have expected the same for you.  I'm so happy that he thinks you'll be good for another 4 weeks!  That's 32 weeks!  The babies will be so much more developed!  Good news!

I had my appt with the high risk doc today. Since I was already 1cm
dilated last week & because my fetal fibronectin test keep coming back negative, they didn't check for cervical length or dilation, which is ok with me. The doc said the babies & I both look great, so as long as I'm on bedrest at home, there was no need to check. He set an appt for 4 weeks from now! I said, do you think I'll make it that long? And he said yes, so we'll see! :) Our baby boy is aporox 2lbs, 5 oz & our girl is 2lbs, 3 oz. It's always good to see their hearts beating & bodies moving :) Its very reassuring :) So, now I'm home resting til my physical therapy appt.

Dnikki: Yay, new pics! :) I'll check them out :) I can't upload pics being on bedrest ;) Our scanner & main computer is in our spare room out in the back (attached to our garage).

Leighanne: Awww, poor Jaedyn & mommy, too! ;) I hope you feel better soon & can't wait to see Christmas pics! :)

kmcarino: How interesting that your uterus is no longer considered small! That's great, though :) Mine is small due to the funky shape & adding twins to that, but so far, so good.

[sbumblebeeo]

Thanks for the info.  I have been looking for people who could tell me how long they carried with a small uterus, just trying to get an idea of how long I might go.  I know everyone is different.  My uterus was almost completly split in two but I had surgery to correc it and now I am left wih a small abnormal shaped uterus or Bicornuate uterus.  I have found a few women who carried to 34 weeks or 38 weeks.  My doctor said his goal for me was 32-34 weeks.  I guess we'll see at my next u/s where we are at and what my cervix looks like.  Are you so excited for your 20 week scan!?!?!?!  I am.  Good luck and i hope he is growing just right.

[kmcarino]

sbumblebeeo- Happy 28 weeks to you too!  No, I do not mind you asking...you can ask me anything!  My high risk doctor told me that I would either have the baby early or that the baby would be small, and I worried until I was considered full term, and luckily, I just had a small baby at 5 lbs. 3 oz.  They induced me at 38 weeks 5 days because they felt the baby's growth was slowing down and did nto want to take a risk so I was pretty much full term when I delivered.

mommyin10- I was high risk the first time around since I had a small uterus before I got pregnant and I got pregnant with multiples.   Anyway, they checked my uterus when I started trying for my second and my uterus is normal size now, not small anymore.  So I am not high risk anymore.  I think that due to the baby's growth slowing down, I will have monthly ultrasounds to check for growth from 26 weeks on.  By the way, I have a 20 week u/s scheduled for January 28th:)  Oh, and I am not sure4 what the diagnosis was for the small uterus...I guess it is possible that it is realted to my disorder.  They don't have too much info on my disorder since it is so rare, but anyway, it isn't a problem for me anymore.  How have you been feeling?

dnikki- Wow!  Only a few more weeks!!  Are you super uncomfortable yet?  I wish I was sleeping better.  I seem to have a headache every morning too which stinks.  I am starting to have vivid dreams though so that is cool:)

mommy- congrats on 28 weeks.  Jaedyn had a great first x mas.  i will up load the pics tomorrow.  I went to the dr.s today and i have bronichitis so i am tired.  jaedyn had an ear infection last week and passed his lil germs on to me.  Hes lucky hes so cute so i dont mind.

I uploaded the home construction pics...I had to copy all of the pics from my Kodak program into a folder into My Documents. I also had issues uploading them onto here - I could only do one at a time.
I'll take another belly pic tomorrow, I didn't realize it's been 4wks since I've taken one!

Have a good night ladies!
