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.

[mommyin10]

ad_06: Good luck with your glucose test tomorrow ! :)

sbumblebeeo: My parents had given us $500 for our anniversary in Dec to do whatever for the babies, so I used that at babies r us online to buy the Graco play yard w/twin bassinets, a blanket for each bassinet, onesies, socks, bottles, liners & bottle brush, diapers, hooded bath towels, a diaper genie & refill, lotion and head to toe wash, etc, etc :) There are still a lot of things we need, but I feel better havingvsome essentials :)  

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  Yep I have a crappy family and so does DH.  It makes me wonder why I even live in this rotten snow belt!  He could never leave his son though so we're stuck.  On with more exciting news....  What did you order from Babies R Us?  

[ad_06]

Thanks ladies for all the support. I just had to get it off my chest. It's always nice to be able to vent to a neutral party.

I can't wait to be out of the "danger zone", only a little while longer :) The time does go by faster than what you think. I go tomorrow for my blood work and my 1 hr glucose test....hope I can handle not eating breakfast in the morning....lol

I hope you ladies have a great Monday!

ad_06: I'm sorry your niece is being so immature, but she is only 20 & living w/her grandma. I'm sure there's a bit of jealousy there too. You have a happy marriage, your own place & you're expecting. She's just going to put herself in a position where it's even harder to stand on her own two feet. Take care & enjoy the limelight with us, your dh & your true friends :)

sbumblebeeo: Geez, it keeps getting "better", huh!? I'm glad you have your shower to look forward to! Your mom will make it special & it sounds like you'll have a great time :)   Looking forward to seeing new pics!!!

dnikki: What kind of double stroller did you get? We've got ours picked out & ready to order :) The things I ordered from Babies r Us should be here Friday, so I'm excited to look through everything! We decided on a Graco play yard with twin bassinets to keep in our bedroom. That way, the babies will sleep with us & then we can take it to grandma's too. As far as our nursery goes, dh had to get the hallway prepared for flooring too, so it would all flow. The wood goes from where the hallway begins & through the babies' room. He's got a good portion done & it looks beautiful!!! (I took a quick peak!)  

[dnikki0928]

Ad: I agree, that is really insensitive and immature...My cousin did that to her sister (in a different way...) - Cousin 2 was p/g and then about 3months later Cousin 1 found out she was p/g...Cousin 2 wouldn't let Cousin 1 tell any of the family for awhile b/c she wanted the limelight...I kid you not!!! At least you and DH are having your wonderful little bundle for all the right reasons and let that be enough for you and DH (I hope that sounds right....?). Plus, your baby would be born first lol! Happy 12wks!!! Woo-Hoo!!!

Mommyin10: How are things going out your way?

Keyan: How are you doing/feeling?

Not much new here...I didn't work on the nursery at all over the weekend - DH was away for the military and my cousin came down and stayed overnight with DS and I :-) It was nice! DS has really started to defy us, I'm not sure if he's really sensing that Peyton is coming or just the fact that he's 3 or a combination of both. It gets frustrating and sometimes I feel like all we do is butt heads...He's at daycare today so maybe he just needs a break from me lol.
I ordered the double stroller mid wk last wk (since we go a lot of places when the weather is nice...) and it arrived this morning already :-) I'll put that together later this wk or next week... Our 2 dogs need baths SOOOOOO bad! I want to take them to Petco but they need their updated rabies shot, and I want to bathe them before they go to the vet to get the shots lol...I will attempt to do it today. At least our master bath has an oversized walk in shower with a shower seat, so that'll make it a little easier. Well, I'm just kind of rambling, so I'll check in later!! Have a great day ladies!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[sbumblebeeo]

I read your post.  Hope you dont' mind...  I think that is really upsetting to hear about your neice.  People that have no problems getting pregnant\staying pregnant can be so insensitive to people like us.  I am having the same issue with my sister right now.  I guess we jus try to stay excited for ourselves.  WE DESERVE IT!  Plus try to remember that she is only 20 and that seems quite immature.  Who knows she may grow up and regret acting like that.  I agree about her expanding her family when it doesn't seem like she can take care of the one she has.  I have a real issue with that as well.  Her choice I guess.  Happy 12 weeks.  Just about the end of the first trimester and out of the "danger zone".  That was sooo exciting to me so Congrats!!!

mommyin10-  The baby shower is Jan 31st.  I will be 31 weeks by then... I mean WE will be 31 weeks by then!  :)  I am super excited about it and so is my mom.  She has gone crazy with decorations and what not.  I can't wait.  My sister that I gave a great shower to when my nephew was born is being a real toad about it all.  She barely wants to participate at all.  My feelings have been so hurt.  I spent so much money, time, and efforts on her and now she can barely bring balloons.  It's so sad to me.  It seems like the more you do for someone the less they appreciate it.  The outlaws didn't come to my step sons birthday party and he was upset about that and cried and my same sister who I have done EVERYTHING for couldn't even stay for cake.  I finally melted down and had a hard cry yesterday.  I'm not sure how to get over expecting her to want to do the same for me as I did for her.  At this point I really don't want anything from any of them.  I am just so sad about it all yet so excited for the shower.  I guess I am definetly a rollar coaster of emotions right now.  Darn hormones anyway!  :)  I'm going to get some pictures taken tonight and I'll post them for tomorrow, or at least I'll try.  This site seems to only let yo post one at a time.  Take Care, get your feet up.  I'll check back later...
