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.

ad_06: Happy Birthday!!! :)

sbumblebeeo: I agree, don't feel guilty for feeling the way you do. We're all here for you
& we all know how difficult the pregnancy has been for you. Like luvkayln, I've been enjoying mine, but she & I haven't been nearly as sick as you since day 1. We all have the same goals on this thread, to get that long-awaited BFP & to hold our beautiful, healthy babies :) Hang in there! Your anatomy scan will ease your mind, I'm sure :)

Keyan: Your chart is looking soooo good! Okay, we'll pray for high temps & no AF & a
BFP in 5 days!!! I'm definitely rubbing the double belly for you! :)

Luvkayln: Your U/S pics are adorable as always, especially Miss Personality sticking out
her tongue! :-) Too cute! I'm so happy everything went well at your appt. & you've got
her b-day set! Yes, the 7th & 17th are perfect! I hope dh feels better soon! Poor guy ;(

Kmcarino:  Yes, I'm excited, but nervous about our appt next week. I'm hoping & praying we get some answers & good news ;) I'm sorry, but what is vbs testing? Good luck at your u/s tomorrow!

[kmcarino]

I just wanted to thank you for your prayers and excitement for us:)  I really appreciate it.  I am so sorry about your job and trhe situation with your ovaries.  I hope that everything turns out ok.

[dnikki0928]

Mrspace: I'm sorry to hear about your job, but I am glad everything is going well (aside from the ovaries)...The economy just su cks right now!! Hopefully your ovaries will turn out to be okay. Let us know ASAP!!!

Mommyin10: You're welcome!! I love looking at the pics (even if it takes a little while for me to get to them lol...). I got your note this morning - I replied back. Is everything okay your way?

sbumblebeeo: The glucose test is where you go in after fasting after midnight (nothing to eat or drink except water). You drink this really sugary can of stuff  - tastes like flat soda to me lol and then you have to wait an hour then have your blood drawn. It's testing you for gestational diabetes. I go in for mine on the 3rd...yay lol. How are you feeling??

AFM: I worked yesterday, but got off an hour early. My back started really bothering me again. I don't know what the deal is. Thankfully, I'm only working 2hrs today then I'm going to go get my hair done - we have the USMC Birthday Ball tonight!! It will be fun :-) DS is soooo excited to stay with Grandma overnight again lol!! I thought he would freak about it but ohhhh no!!  She was originally going to watch him here 'till we got home, but apparently DH wants to go hunting in the morning.... But, I'll try to check in later this afternoon before we leave - Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

B/c of my small misshaped uterus we are the same boat.  Hopeing to make it to mid March.  The doctor says we are at high risk for preterm labor but won't know how soon she'll come until we get closer and she gets a lot bigger.  Maybe we'll have them at the same time?!?!  What's a glucose test?  What's it for?  I haven't heard anything about that yet.

dnikki: Thanks for the pic comments! :) How are you feeling?

Sbumblebeeo: Lots of good wishes to Wakey! I'll send her a note :) I know, it's pretty cool that we're just 2 days apart. Have you heard anything about your glucose test yet? I'm thinking it should be coming up soon. Our due dates are two days apart, but we're hoping to make it to mid-March! :) So, we'll see! Have a great weekend & happy early 5 months :)

[sbumblebeeo]

All-
  I dont' tend to ask for prayers for my friends but...  I have a dear friend that is part of Medhelp, her log on name is Wakey and you can find her on my friend list.  She has had about 8 failed embryo transfers and has A LOT of medical issues from double cervix and uterus to a split bladder.  She has been trying for a baby for many many years.  This was one of her final attempts before giving up on ever being a mom and just last night she got a faint positive.  If you could please just send her positive thoughts and prayers I would appreciate it.  Her story, like many of ours, is very heartbreaking and she deserves this chance soo much.  I love her to pieces!!!  Thanks for listening.....and all the congrats on my little girl.  


mommyin10-.  We were supposed to get 3d pictures at our last appointment and we didn't!  I was so excited that they said girl I completly forgot to ask about it.  Darn it.  It would be a fabulous Christmas gift!  I'm so excited for you.  We seem to be 2 days apart in just about everything.  That makes me smile.  I hope we have our babies just the same way.  Hey....maybe 2 is just your lucky number!!!!  :)   Take care you're doing great and happy 5 months!!!!  

[mommyin10]

Mrspace: It sounds like you've got a lot going on. Sorry to hear about your job & hopefully your tests come back clean. Thanks for the extra prayers :) Take care!!!

sbumblebeeo: The doc yesterday checked my cervix looking at the abdominal u/s, but said they wanted to check vaginally one/month, so I'll be going back just after you on 12/9 :) Next week is my regular ob. I totally know how you feel. I still can't believe I'm 5 months pregnant & in a short time, I'll have a son & a daughter! It's just surreal ;) Have you thought about doing a 3-D/4-D u/s? We're hoping to schedule it for Dec 16. What amazing Chrismas pics those will be :)
