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!

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  Our next appointment is Dec 7 at 4:00.  He says from now on he is going to be checking my cervix at every appointment so I will need to undress ever time now.     :(     Not fun but I'm glad he's doing it so he can be on top of anything that might happen.  You get to go back so soon.  I'm jealous but happy for you.  Seeing that little one on the monitor makes it so real to me.  Takes any doubt that this is happening for real away.  Yes, I still wonder that sometimes.  Can this really be true????  I guess so.

Hello everyone.  I know I've been MIA for a while now.  Things have just been super hectic. I will be losing my job in a few weeks and we are trying to prepare financially for that.  So it's been a little stressful.  On top of that, we spoke with our dr a week ago about some issues I'm having.  We've been off of all drugs since August and I'm still having this incredible pressure and pain.  I'm worried that my ovaries are acting up again, even though I'm not on meds.  So the doctor got back to us after looking over my charts again and wants me to go to his big hospital in the city to run some tests.  Apparently I'm at a slight risk for ovarian cancer and he wants to rule that out before we go any further.  So we're going for a consultation next week.  Nothing big yet.

Aside from that, life is pretty darn good.  I love my husband and the life he's giving us.  He's so hard working and supportive.

I miss you all so very much.  

luvkayln-Holy cow you are getting so close to Addy being here and I couldn't be happier for you!!  Seriously, we need to get together sometime and hang out.

mommyin10- Your belly is too cute for words and I'm so happy for you.  I have been keeping everyone in my prayers but I will be sure to lift up some extra prayers for your little ones.  

sbumblebeeo- Congrats on having a little girl on the way!  That is so exciting and I'm so happy for you both.  

kmcarino- Congrats on the bfp and I'll be keeping you in my prayers. I'm so excited for you.

looloo-  I hope the pregnancy is going great!

rachjas- I am keeping you in my prayers and my fingers and toes are all crossed for you sweetie!

dnikki- I am so glad that your trip went well!  I will probably give you a call tomorrow or this weekend to see how you're doing! I miss ya!


AFM- My fingers are crossed for all of you.  I hope you are all doing just wonderfully!

[mommyin10]

I already sent you a note, but thank you for your support =)  I saw your chart & it does now indicate you O'd last Friday.  Does that fit in with what you were thinking?  Don't beat yourself up that you didn't bd around that time.  Just concentrate on your next cycle & you'll have your cheering section waiting for you =)

Luvkayln:  Happy 34 Weeks & just 25 days til Addy's b-day!!! =)

sbumblebeeo:  Thank you! =)  Yes, we're excited & will hope and pray that our amnio results come back that our babies are perfectly healthy!!!  Now I get to shop for boy clothes! =)  Yes, the amnio hurt & I was sore afterwards, but I feel great today & I'm going to work, so I'm just happy that it went well & I didn't have any of the side effects the doc mentioned.  Now it's just ANOTHER waiting game :)  When's your next appt?

kmcarino:  Thanks :)  That's great you were finally able to see your little one on u/s!  I'm sure that was a heartwarming experience :)  Happy to hear he/she is doing well!

jmh2005:  Thanks! =)  Yes, please check in again soon and let us know how you're doing!

ad_06:  You're just about half-way through!!!


I uploaded a new belly pic from Monday & an u/s pic of each baby from yesterday's appt :)  I think our little boy is taking up more than his share of my uterus ;-)  His pics always turn out so good.  He's just kicking back looking cute & our poor, little girl is all bunched up!  Haha :)  She was bent in half at one point, with her hands touching her feet, so luckily she gave us a quick profile shot :)  Another neat thing about our anatomy scan is that the doctor could see that neither baby will have a cleft lip/palate.  It's just amazing what they can see!  I'm nervous, yet anxious to get our amnio results next week...

[Keyan]

sbumbleebeo: Congrats on your girl!!

Mommyin10: Congrats!! we will continue praying that when you get your tests results back all is confirmed as having a healthy prince and a healthy princess!!

Luvkayln: thanks for keeping hope for me, you are so sweet! ....I just really don't get it....I don't feel nothing....as if AF just skipped me this month or something....I did feel lots of AF type of pressure last week and the one before...I guess maybe that was O and not AF signs...I don't know....what I do know is that I am so mad at myself for not BDing when I was having tons of CM last week!!! AGRR!! so If I did O, I missed our opportunity!! ...that is TTCer freshman...not to a senior like me!! LOL ....it is so basic..you see fertile CM you BD!! Just 25 more days for you to meet Addy!! Congrats on your great appt!

[ad_06]

dnikki - Thanks he is feeling a little better. Still has a fever, but he wasn't laying around yeterday like the past 2 days. He got his regular flu shot, so it probably is the swine flu. I have had a bit of a sore throat, but that is really it. Besides  a low grade fever yesterday, a lady told me she ran a low grade fever for a few days after she got her H1N1 shot.....so hopefully that is the case.

I am doing good ladies, this tww doesn't seem to be going by as fast as I though it would....lol I'm waiting patiently. I usually get sore bbs after O, and they still aren't sore. I'm only 6 dpiui, so we will see in about a week:) Hope everyone is having a nice week.
