Calling All Women of Strength!!!

[mommyin10]

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: When was your last u/s? Shelby could have most definitely flipped around if she wasn't head down already...Anyways, when she gets the hiccups, you won't feel it where her head is, you'll feel it where her chest is and it can even make their little bodies jerk a little depending on how "rough" they are. Does that make sense?

Mommyin10: I'm glad your numbers are good and you had a nice time out :-) Sorry you are having diarrhea, but just make sure to stay hydrated and also look out for cramping and/or contractions. But I'm sure you already know that :-) I think as long as you aren't running a fever and such, you should be fine. You can always call your doc though. AFM, I'm feeling okay - I've had a few contractions today but again nothing consistent. She has definitely pushed herself onto my pubic bone - her head is sitting on it and it hurts!!! I'll check back in I'm sure before I go to bed....Sleep well tonight!!!

Hi Ladies,
   Somehow ended up reading this thread on accident today and coudn't stop! It reads like a novel! I don't have much to add other than best of luck with those babies and I have truly enjoyed reading about your journeys! I hope this was not too odd, lol, I am pregnant myself although not near the same circumstance. Truly though, best of luck and if you don't mind I will lurk again in a few days to see how things are going!!

Hey girls! I am feeling very emotional today and lately. Everything has been bothering me at work and what not. I feel like my anxiety level has drastically increased lately but I am not so sure as to why. My bbs are still really tender and dry as all heck lol sorry if TMI. Hope you are all doing well.

mommyin10-  I've been working on the cross stich that i bought for her room watching TV, checking on you and myspace and facebook.  I look forward to meal time when i'm allowed to sit at the table and eat.  It has been better I guess.  My babyshower is next Sunday and then Feb 1 is my next appointment.  I am going to the baby shower.  The chuch has a small couch they are going to bring me and I can sit up long enough to open my gifts.  You get to go out once a week.  I don't until the doc starts seeing me every week too.  I wonder when that will be.

I am glad that your numbers are good.  As for the diarrhea... I haven't had that nor have I read anything that would indicate it's anyting to worry about other than that can dehydrate you really quickly and we know what that means.  So get lots of water in you.  The baby is doing that pulsing thing again right now.  weird... seems too low too be hicupps since I know where her head is but what do I know.

kmcarino: Thanks. Yes, Jacqueline (or Jaclyn) would be after dh's grandma. Elizabeth is my mom. If we go with Ava Kathleen, her middle name is after me ;)

ad_06: You're welcome :) I hope all goes well tomorrow & you don't have to worry about GD. Oh, the nutritionist told me she'd normally allow me a piece of fruit for my morning snack, but because I'm
having twins, she added a protein. So, if you do have GD, your diet won't be quite the same. I agree on the names! Who would have thought it'd be so hard ;)

sbumblebeeo: Good luck getting to go out! If I stand too long, dh says, that's not bedrest! He's joking, but he'd never agree with me going out ;) So, you have 10 days til your next appt? That's a bummer! What have you been doing to pass the time. I feel like my whe day is broken into times when I need my insulin, my pills, blood tests or meals. It actually keeps me busy ;) I love the saying for Shelby's room! It's perfect. I know how you feel about her nursery. It kills me not to be able to participate. I want so much just to wash a few baby clothes or something. dh will do it, but it's the fact that I want to share in the excitement of it all, you know? Well, I'll do my best to get to 36 weeks! :) I'm shooting for 34, so I can have at least a day off bedrest. Plus, my friends at work want to throw a baby shower at work during lunch the say after I turn 34 weeks :) I so hope I can go! Take care!!!

dnikki: How are you feeling? My appt went well. My numbers are where they should be after the minor tweaking, so that's great! :) Plus, I was able to get out in the real world & spend a little extra time w/dh :) Ok, my turn for tmi. Since I got home, I've had diarrhea twice... Is there any reason I should be concerned about that? Sorry!

The wall quote I bought for over Shelby's bed came today.  Yay!  I can't wait to see it all done.  It says "First we had each other...then we had you... now we have everything.  Cute!!!  Hopefully her bedding will be done soon too.  I'm getting nervous that she is going to come and not have a room of her own.  That is so unexceptable to me.  I've dreamed of her nursery for literally years... I just want it to be perfect.  She deserves it.  I deserve it.
