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.

Hi, ladies. So, we had a long day of appts. We saw the nutritionist, who is totally confused as to why my blood glucose after lunch remains so high, considering they keep upping my insulin. He says it's as if I were an insulin-dependent diabetic w/out being pregnant. He wants to study my case ;) dh & I are, like, join the club! Each of our doctors has been "surprised" during my pregnany! ;-) So, it could be because I'm so inactive or because my babies each have their own placenta... They upped my dose agsin, so we'll see if it works! :) Our NST was fast, which was great. I think we were only there for 20 min! We then saw my ob & scheduled our c section! It's set for March 19 & we're so excited :) So, now we know our babies will be born in 5 weeks at the latest :) I'm still thinking the first week of March, so we'll see! Well, I've been relaxing the rest of the day. I get so tired after being out all morning.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

mommyin10-  Sorry to hear that you aren't getting much sleep.  I'm glad you are trying to pump and I have high hopes that you'll get the results you are looking for soon!  I can't wait to see pictures of your precious babies.  Our next appointment isn't until March 4th.  He said since I'm not dilated that we  can go 2 weeks again.  When we go back we'll have the strep B culture done and  an u/s to verify that she is head down.  He could tell by feeling that she has flipped but he's going to verify for sure.  

Well get some sleep if you can!
XOXO

Mommyin10: I can feel your excitement of being a new Mommy!! YAY!! I can't stop smiling!! I am SO happy for you!! ...sorry you are on pain, but I am sure, when you look at them it is all worth it!! Hope you have a fast recovery!! and your babies keep on gaining weight! and healthy!! Will you be going home on Saturday or Sunday?

Luvkayln: Hi! as for my plans, well my doc said that we should try on our own for 6 months and then if nothing, move on to an RE, I still have 2 more cycles to try, but we aren't so sure about the RE, I mean as of when to go, we are actually looking foward to adoption as our immediate step, the plan is to find out for sure how much $ will cost us to adopt and then use what ever $ we have left for a treatment with an RE. I do have a regular cycle having AF at 15 days past O, but I am thinking that maybe my problem is that the egg isn't being released properly and that's why the multiple + opks...hopefully if it is that, it will be an easy fix, I hope!!

Wish you all a great weekend!

Thanks for all the congrats!!! Every comment is totally appreciated :)
Today was rough in terms of pain & feeling uncomfortable, not to
mention there's always someone coming into my room for something. Plus we had visitors. Between the babies being born and now (25 hours after their birth), I probably got 3 hrs sleep, just falling asleep for 20 min here or there. I also didn't realize how much pain I'd be in, but it's all so worth it! dh escorted grandmas & grandpas to visit the babies. Besides mommies & daddies, they only allow grandparents in the NICU & only one person at a time, escorted by dh or I. I finally got to visit them around 4:30 this afternoon & they're just so darn cute! They're little, but healthy & just so perfect!!! Yes, Leighanne, that immediate outpouring of love is definitely there :) Ricky is funny because he's so fussy. He cries & he pulls on his wires, while Ava is perfectly content. Daddy changed his first diaper today & she didn't even flinch. I've been trying to pump so
they can feed them in the NICU, but so far, nothing. I've tried 3 times now & will keep trying every 3 hours. I know I'll celebrate seeing that first drop! :) I'm going to ask dh to bring our laptop with him on Friday so I can upload pictures. I can't wait to share :) Thanks again, ladies!

Luvkayln: Thanks :) Yes, we're extremely confident with the nicu here. It's a state of the art facility & I know the babies will be in the best hands possible :)

sbumblebeeo: Thanks & happy 34 weeks :) You're now leading our list! Remember we talked about being prepared? Well, it didn't work in my case. My water broke the day I didn't take a shower. I hadn't shaved down there in a week & I had felt sick, so was literally sleeping all day. Not at all what I expected, but you just have to go with the flow :) When's your next appt?

Sammy_J: I'm so sorry ;( I feel your pain & sadness. Take all the time you need to heal & remember many of us tried for a very long time & never thought it would happen... It will happen for you, too ;) Take care!

Nino7: I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms til after my +hpt & beta. That's when I started getting what I referred to as "brick bbs". I literally had to hold them up as I got up out of bed. Hang in there! You're just about to your 1WW :)

Keyan: We always went back to the same names, so deep down we just knew they were meant to be :) She looks like an Ava to me now, so the names just fit. Yes! My co-workers postponed my shower to March 5 & our shower on the 28th should be no problem :)
