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: Thanks :-) I can't believe I'm there already! After my next appt. I'll be doing weekly appt.'s! I'm going to have them check me at 36wks I think (they may do it routinely anyways...). How is your day going so far? Let's see, here DS and I did some of his pre-school work (which he loves to do lol) and I saw our garbage disposal is now leaking! Not bad, just a drip when the water runs on that side of the sink. We do have to get a new one though...DS also helped me wash Peyton's blankets and bedding - I'm trying to reinforce that he's a big brother and Peyton will be a baby...He likes helping though :-) I got the crib all made up and put the mobile together too. I did find where I need to sew 2 strings onto the bumper pad for the crib - or just take it out all together - I don't know yet...I started taking down some Christmas decorations and DS is quite sad that Christmas is over - it's cute though :-) Hope your day is good! TTYL!

kmcarino: Glad your appt. went well and things are going good your way!

Pyar: Glad your pharmacy came through for you :-) Good luck with the meds!

Hannah: Great to hear from you!!!  What CD's are you taking the clomid? Are you having any side effects from it? Keep posting! We've missed you :-)

Well, the crib is all made up and the mobile is put up - DS helped me wash Peyton's blankets and bedding :-) We are trying to really reinforce that he is going to be a big brother and that Peyton will be a baby...Hopefully this transition won't be too hard on him with having a new baby soon...Other than that, things are going well! After my appt. next Tuesday, I should begin weekly appt.'s :-) Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Pyar: Thanks. Yes, I followed a good diet for hypoglycemia prior to pregnancy, so will definitely follow my doc's advice :) My appt is in about an hour & a half. That's great you got your meds! I had intramuscular injections during my IVF. One was an hcg trigger & tgen I took the intramuscular progesterone injections for 2-3 weeks. I can't remember exactly. You'll be fine :) I would ice the area first, dh would do the injection & then I'd rub the area & apply a heating pad. That was our routine ;) What's your next step after the injection?

kmcarino: Sorry, I copy & pasted your message, but didn't respond ;) I'm glad your appt went well! I haven't had an appt yet. I got my glucose results yesterday & tested positive for gestational diabetes, so I'll see a nutritionist today. My next appt with the high risk doc is Friday.

Mommyin10 sorry to hear about you diabetes.My sister had the same when she was pregnant unfortunatelyshe isn't one for looking after herself and 23 years after her daughter was born she still has,it thing is if she would lose weight and have a healthier diet.I think if you follow your docs advice you will be fine.

Hannah great to hear from you sorry you are feel low but i'm glad you are still ttc I hope things get better for you don't forget we're here for you.

AFM well I had a panic this week cos my pharmacy couldn't get a hold of my injection but thankfully they came through for me and i'm all good to go tomorrow.
I am slighty worried because they doc said there could be some sides effects simialar to going through the menopause urgh.Also this injection is a intramuscular one and i'm not quite sure what that is sounds painful.I will update tomorrow.

[mommyin10]

Yes, you'll definitely be just fine ;) Also, maybe it just takes a little time to get your tummy used to the iron pills.

lilmzk- I am sorry it was negative:(  I hope that you will still get a positive:)

mommyin10- Yes, I like Justin but my husband doesn't.  I do like Ryan better though.  Justin also has an S in it so that's not good for me.  I finally got to hear the bby's heart beat again so that was cool.  I felt so relieved when I heard it.  She said that my uterus is right where she would expect it to be so everything looks good.  I am going to schedule a 20 week ultrasound.  I think my next appt. with my ob is Feb. 4th.  How was your appt?

sbumblebeeo- I am glad to hear that you have not dilated at all.  How have you been feeling?

[sbumblebeeo]

I have to take them twice a day...  :(  I tend to take my pills at night time b/c they often make me sick to my stomach.  I even use to take birth control pills at night for the same reason.  I am not one to take even asprin so maybe it's made my tummy sensitive.  I dont' know.  To think of all the wasted years on birth control... makes me laugh.

As for DH and I... we'll be fine.  I do think he needs to confront them about this and stop letting it stew in his belly.
