Calling All Women 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.

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! :)

Keyan- Ahhh Boo!! :( I'm so sorry AF showed, and although you prepared yourself, it still hurts, I know! I'm so sorry! I hope you're feeling better and are prepared for a new cycle! So I was thinking about you this morning, and I'm wondering... After the lap surgery, and the meds, etc.. what did the Dr say would be your next step? Did they say to try natural for a while and give it so much time before you moved on to something else? I know you've gotten pregnant before and obviously have a regular cycle with ovulation happening every month! I'm just curious as to what your plans are? I pray it happens soon! You deserve so much to be a mommy, and I know you will! :)
Mommyin10- Ahh, bummer! You're sick now?! It's always something, huh?! And of course it happens right before you get off bedrest! I know if you still feel bad tomorrow tho, you'll be happy to get out of that bed! :) How exciting, I feel so happy for you that you've made it this far! Did you ever think we'd be here, and congratulating you on getting off bedrest at 34 weeks?! That's just awesome!!! :) I'm glad your nst went well yesterday! Isn't that so sweet, seeing them practice their breathing! I just loved it when Addy did it, it's like you're almost proud of them ya know? :) That's very sweet that your neighbors left you flowers! :)
Sbumblebeeo- I'm sorry your plans for a c-section got changed. But I'm telling you, it's really not as bad as people make it out to be! I have a friend at work who swears that c-section is the way to go, but seriously, it's a big surgery and the recovery takes longer. Labor is hard work, but I literally was in labor for 8 hours and was watching comedy central the whole time! lol! :) My labor was a breeze and I only pushed 5 times and Addy came out! I got my epidural half way through, and I could still feel my contractions but they were tolerable and by the time it was time to push, I barely felt her come out and they had to cut me. So, what's this medicine you're stopping on your own? I know your doctor is taking you off of it anyways, but is it ok to stop it earlier than they recommend? So I take it you're not dilated yet? I started dilating at 36 weeks and I was 1 cm and 50% efaced. When I went in to have her, I was at a 2 and 70% efaced, so you could very well start making progress by your next appointment! :)
Sammy_J- I'm praying so hard for your results tomorrow to be +++!!! I know this must be torture! It's hard enough that you have to wait 2 weeks, but you poor thing! Is it a good sign that AF still isn't here??? Heck YES!!! :) I have a good feeling! I'll be checking in on you tomorrow!! Good luck! :)
Nino7- Oh sweetie, we all know how you feel! It's so hard to not think about it when that's all you want to think about, and that's all you can think about! I agree with Keyan. Everyone says "Just stop trying, and it'll happen!" But we all know it's not that easy! It's hard b/c it's completely out of our hands! The biggest reward is when is does happen, and that's something great to look forward to! God is going to bless you, it's just a matter of when and I know that's hard to except b/c it's just not fair b/c you so much deserve to be pregnant right now! I know for 10 months straight, that's all I thought about and talked about! All our plans were around ttc, it was definately hard but it was definately worth it! And soon you'll be able to say that too! :) Just hang in there, stay strong and know that we are all here for you to support you! :) (HUGS)
Leighanne- Yayy, I'm so happy to hear that Jaedyn enjoyed his first birthday! :) Can't wait to see pics!!
Rachjas- Wow, you're getting there! We're all praying for you sweetie! :)

Sammy_J: Thinking of you, hoping for great numbers tomorrow!! We need to add some more BFPs to our list!!
Mommyin10: Sorry you are sick ;o(...getting off strict bed rest and feeling like laying in bed all day is NO fun!! congrats on making it to 34 weeks tomorrow!!
Nino7: We are all the same, the 2ww is the worst....I hate when people would tell me: "Once you stop thinking of TTC, you will get pregnant"....yeah right, if it were so easy!!! ....but for us, been TTCing for so long, we (dh and I)just were talking this weekend, about how people don't ask anymore, they just assume we can't have babies, so I guess that's why they don't ask questions, but I think is good, I don't have to do any explaining.

I took Clomid to get pregnant and then I did progestrone inserts twice a day for the entire first trimester. It was no fun but here we are 34 weeks tomorrow! Now I am on the same meds as mommyin10 that help calm your uterus from contrating b/c I have been having cramps for the last month. I'm not looking forward to that at all. It's gong to be more uncomfortable.
Still hoping high for you though! Take Care!!!

Missed your last post, how frustrating it must be for the lil one to change your plans... but everything happens for a reason so just take it easy. What hormones are you taking?
Hugs and Good luck!

Thanks for the message. I have a disorder thanks to which my body doesnt produce most of the hormones needed to sustain a pregnancy so I need the hcg shots, and in case of pregnancy would need to continue them and progesterone for at least the first trimester. I don't mind as long as the result is what I want :)
Hope you feel better now.

Thanks for the wishes. Its great to know there are people who understand and care :)
So now the wait continues, I've given blood today and will find out for sure tomorrow. The last day is the toughest bt its just a day and it;ll pass.
Will let you know as soon as I find out. Thanks for everything ladies,
