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.

We decided not to go back to the hospital after we left at 6:30 p.m.  Instead, we ran errands, stocked up on diapers and wipes & came home to eat dinner & get some rest.  I just called the hospital and Ava has gained weight.  She was exactly 2000 grams, which means she'll get her Hepatitis B shot at her 3:00 a.m. touch time.  Richard had his circumcision today & so they're all set to come home today!!!  I just woke up to call the nurse & to pump & then I'll get some rest before our exciting day begins :)  We'll definitely spend the morning getting our bedroom clean & the dog bathed, etc.  I'll post when we get the babies home & situated :)

Michelleinhawaii: OMG! I'm SO happy for you!!! :) I know it's hard to let go & just celebrate because of all you've been through. It's totally understandable, but I'm putting you on our BFP list where you belong :) We'll all be praying for great news on the 22nd!!! :)

sbumblebeeo: You asked about birthmarks on one of Ricky's pics. He actually has two hemangiomas. They get darker & then raised over time & by his 1st birthday, they should have faded away.

luvkayln: Sorry you're having to look for daycare. I know it's difficult, but I'm sure you'll find the right fit for Addy ;) It's funny about your mom & Sean's mom. You'd think they'd both jump at the chance to watch her, hold her, love her :) I forgot to upload the pic of Ricky looking up at me! I'll try to remember today. It's dh's b-day :) He's planning to go to work, but he makes his own schedule & can go for as little or as long as he wants. This way, he's not using his leave yet. He'll start that when I go back to work in June :) Well, I hope you got enough sleep for work! :)

Keyan: Thanks for the pic comments :) We had a good weekend. Dh 's
mom came to visit on Sat & my parents on Sun. It's funny because they all expected us to be overwhelmed & need their help desperately. We kept telling them we'll be fine, but they didn't believe us... Now they do & we really do have it under control :) Having the babies on a schedule makes a huge difference, I'm sure. We changed it a bit from the hospital & we're able to take one hour & get both changed, fed & back to sleep ;) Yesterday Ava was really sad, crying her tiny little cry ;( Turns out she needs more food, poor girl. She was hungry. I breast-fed her, then she still ate at her normal time one hour later & then she was perfectly content!

Michelleinhawaii: CONGRATS! I am so excited for you! I will keep you in my prayers!

Luvkayln: I am really sorry you are having to look for daycare, I can imagine the worry to find a good place where you can trust Addy's care. I hope you lucky and do find a great place for her! About my 2ww....I had to ck today, I didn't really know what DPO I was, I can't beleive it's almost over, AF should be here on Wednesday, if so, then we will get do our chest x-ray on thursday or friday.

Mommyin10: I agree with Luvkayln, I love to read your stories about the babies! How was your weekend? I am doing good...is getting really hot here, we didn't do much over the weekend, we had a very busy week, last week, so we opted to rest during the weekend. Can't wait for the pics!

Michelle- CONGRATS!!! Yayy!!! This is SO exciting and you deserve it SO much! :) I know the fears your having, it's so easy to worry especially everything you've been through! My best friend also has her u/s on the 22nd, what an exciting day that'll be for us! :) Keep us posted! I'm just so happy for you! :)

Keyan- Everything's good here! :) As I posted on FB, it's getting hard to find babysitters lately, especially during the day! I'm going to look into daycare today... :( I really didn't want to have to so early... It was a perfect plan when Sean was working nights, but now that he's working days and so am I, we're having a hard time to find someone we trust to watch addy. Plus, his mom acts like it's an inconvenience to watch her on Mon/Tues which are her days off. I understand she wants her time, but my mom can't get enough of her... Anyway, your 2ww is almost over! I know you're more excited about the adoption, but you know we're still holding out hope! ;)

Mommyin10- I love hearing you talk about your babies! :) I can just feel the love you have for them! ;) I think it's cute you love Ricky's fussiness! I remember I felt the exact same way as soon as we had Addy, b/c she has this VERY girly cry! It's SO adorable! :) I remember saying how much I loved it, and everyone said you won't love it at 2am, but I really still do! lol! :) Addy's been doing really good at night, sleeping through the night, but it's 1am now and I'm up with her, well, she's in her swing right now. The past 2 nights she's been going to bed a little early and waking up around midnight to eat, but she's still pretty much on a schedule. :) So are you starting to get a little adjusted to having the babies home? :)

Sbumblebeeo- Only a couple more days till your appointment! There is light at the end of the tunnel, you're almost done! :) I can't wait to see your little sweetie!! :)

Well, I have to work today at 8am, so I better try and get Addy back to bed! Hope everyone has a great day!! :)

I got my bfp....I'm just really nervous and anxious about it! I'm so scared everytime I go to the bathroom that I'm going to see blood. I'm totally tramatized after the last bfp and the bleeding I had for 9 months. I'm just trying to stay as positive as I can :-)

My first ultrasound is march 22 and I am anxiously waiting to see a "baby with a heartbeat"

please keep me in your thoughts n prayers, if you do that

Everything's going well here :) I'll try to post pics later today! I tried taking one after feeding Ricky. I like to hold him up on my chest after to help his acid reflux before putting him down in bed. It's so cute because I catch him staring at my face ;) We're going to try & take a pic of the babies together for our announcements too. Should be fun! ;)
  
jmh2005: Enjoy your cruise!!! :)

mrspace: Good for you taking time & losing weight. Not an easy task, so congrats to you :)

dnikki: It's good to hear from you :) My little ones have their first appt with their pediatrician on Wed. Congrats on Peyton sleeping through the night. Because ours aren't even full term til April, they're on a strict schedule, so we have to wake them upbto eat, but it's going really well :)  I think because dh is so involved (and is taking the 2 a.m. feedings) I can get a bit of sleep & have felt great during the day :) Take care!!!

keyan: Bendito is right! Poor boy ;) I never understood the "baby smell" til now. I never liked it with other people's babies. Now I get it ;) I haven't posted new pics yet. I'll try to today. My mil came over yesterday & my parents are coming by today, so we'll see.  How are you doing??

I am so excited that everyone is doing so well.  I miss the forum like crazy but it's been good to get away from TTC.  We've had a lot going on.  I am getting ready to start birth control again. DH and I had a long talk and with finances, and my emotional health, we are going to continue taking time off.  It's just smart for us.  I'm actually excited about it.  I've lost 20 lbs so far and I have just under 60 more to go.  So I'm excited for that!

I will update again soon, but thank you all for all the great support.
