Women of Strength!

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.

mommyin09- Thank you for changing my status to that! It made me smile.  And thank you for the wonderful compliments to Kya. She's my baby.  I love her so much. And she's being so good right now.  I will be keeping my fingers crossed that AF doesn't show for you.  Don't worry, it'll happen for you. And we're all here for you through every step!

I'm a little worried about Arlotheslug too.  I hope everything is okay.

Hi ladies,

I started back at work yesterday.  I am just feel really tired and trying to get back into the working schedule.  Everyone was happy to see me which was nice. Honey is doing ok.  She looks so sad when I leave in the morning and when I came home last night all she wanted to do was cuddle and receive belly rubs for almost an hour (in bed of course!).  I came home and she greeted me and then ran upstairs basically saying "You owe me! Get up here and cuddle!!"  She is such a good girl.  We have a good dog walker that comes in during the day so she is not alone all day.  I had an ultrasound this morning - the big anatomy scan one.  The blood clot I had is for the most part gone!  I couldn't believe it!  I find out about the rest of my results April 29 when I see my OBGYN again.  Hoping all is normal!  He looked really good!

Luvkayln - I think your plan to switch up the trigger shot timing is a good one. Then you can also bd on your own and you are bound to catch that O time!!  I'm still hoping you get your BFP this week!  I'm rubbing my belly often for you!!

Mommyin09 - When do you think you guys would be ready for IVF?  I think that is really exciting and if it is your lining then that would definitely take care of it.  Hopefully you get your BFP before then but if not, you know that is your next really good plan.  Obviously I am a fan of IVF!!!  Good point about Arlotheslug - where has she been?

Mrspace - I have no issue with you talking about Kya!  When we adopted Honey last summer I think that is all I talked about for weeks!!  They are our babies!  Kya is going through a lot of change with the pregnancy and the new house.  I wonder if that is why she is having the pooping issue?  Just keep cuddling and rubbing her belly!

Dnikki - I wonder what's going on with AF!?!  Strange.  Well, hopefully she comes soon so you can get on with the next cycle!

Keyan - I love puppy breath too.  They are just the cutest.

Well....gotta run because I am meeting a friend for lunch.  

I'll check in later.
SSBD!!!!!
Stacey

Mrspace: I'm glad you liked your status update on our list & of course you can talk all you want about Kya! I think we're mostly all dog people anyway :) Like Stacey with Honey, when we got Carmelo he's all I could talk about too! Besides, this is a fertility forum, so Kya belongs here! =)

Stacey: I'm sure it's tough getting back into the work routine! (maybe more for Honey!) haha! :) So, what is your test from today looking for? I hope & pray that all is perfectly well for your little Jake :) I think we'll be ready for IVF this summer. I know you're a big fan, so I'll surely be bombarding you with questions :) I'm so sure my lining is my issue & now that I brought it to the attention of my RE, he's concerned too. IVF just may be my solution ;)

Candid: How'd your appt go yesterday?

[Arlotheslug]

Hi everyone . . . well, so I am a bad poster.  Life has gotten busy - but still no excuse!  The ultrasound was cool and surreal (as soon as I am able, I will post pics - he looks like he will be a boxer).  He is beautiful and all on the ultrasound is normal.  

Now I am pulling myself into a panic and fear that birthmom will change her mind . . . dunno - we registered over the weekend too - which was exciting and daunting (how many types of bottles exist in the world) and odd and worrying b/c I don't want to jinx.  Now we are scheduling for a bunch of work to be done on the house (heater, a/c, windows, bathroom) thankfully (due to our failed IVF and the sale of our house a few years back - we have the money to cover it in savings).  I know I am blessed on that!  Ok, so do I make sense?  I am trying to stay calm while I am scared and excited all at once (Thank you all for your messages too - it is so wonderful to know that there are people who just "get it.")

Candie:  I hope everything is going well.

AD-06:  Congratulations!

Stacey:  Happy back to work!  the real world - yahoo!

Luvkayln:  I am sending you karma - I know how hard this is . . . maybe the BFP will come on Friday?  I agree with Stacey.

Mommyin09: Hey now, there are some cat people here too ; -)  (Poor Alice the cat is now on 5 diff. drugs . . . she seems to be doing better though. Good luck!  

Kenyan:  Thank you for watching out for me, my friend.  I am glad your shots are over and really am looking forward to some good news!

Thanks ladies for the notes, you girls are too sweet :) Okay so my beta is 44!! Yay. He wants me to go again on Friday since my #'s started off low. It took the hospital forever to run them! I was getting so impatient!! I am so relieved at this point. Just keeping my fingers crossed and praying! I'll keep my fingers crossed and pray for you ladies too!
