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.

Good morning everyone!

Well, I heard from my friend (who is friends with the triplet mom).  She said that the mom is doing okay but the babies are so small and so fragile.  They're in the NICU until further notice.  

On a plus side, I DID hear from my doctor yesterday!  I got some shocking news!
So, my last doctor did all those tests, told me that I am pre-diabetic, have pcos, blah blah blah.  Well this dr did the fasting glucose test and said that I'm nowhere NEAR being pre-diabetic.  I'm perfectly healthy as far as that goes, and I have been for the last several months.  So my old dr is an idiot.  I do have severe PCOS.  He's concerned about that.  Also, I have something wrong with my fsh and lh hormones. I'm not producing enough fsh and I'm producing WAYYYYY too much lh. He said that's why I've "had" so many miscarriages.  The few that weren't confirmed by a doctor...he thinks weren't pregnancies at all.  I'm releasing a pregnancy hormone without being pregnant.  He said that if I took a test right now, it would come back positive, but I am not pregnant.  Ha ha so you all know what I did last night, right?  lol.  POAS!  But I'm not pregnant and he said it's definately something we can fix.  He said that I'm anemic, which is to be expected when you bleed for months at a time.  Also, he diagnosed me with hypertension.  Bad blood pressure.  My diastolic (I think; the bottom number) is not bad.  But the top number is BAD.  So gotta work on that.  No problem there.  
He said my pap came back abnormal, but we won't get the rest of the results back until Monday.  
If those come back okay, then he wants to start us on some treatment to help with my hormone problems, but said that we can start TTC within the next few months probably.  I'm not sure if I'm ready to do that, but it's awesome that it could be an option.

Dh's game went TERRIBLY last night.  I didn't end up going because I got called back into work.  By the time I finished at the office, I was so PO'd and worked up, that I didn't want to go sit with my MIL for over an hour.  DH played VERY well, he hit 5 homeruns out of 6 times batting.  I am proud of him.  But even with that, they lost.  Oh well.  The puppies are dirty dirty dirty.  It's impossible to keep them clean with all the mess that they make!  So I bathed them again yesterday.  We possibly have 2 more sold. We'll see.  

We are heading up tomorrow morning real early to see miss Harper.  I can't wait.

Thank you all for being so supportive!

Stacey:  Happy 26 Weeks!!! =)  I'm so glad to hear you are doing well & haven't had anymore bleeding!  It's great, too, that you are home with Honey, spending so much extra time with her before she becomes a big sister! =)  That's so cute that she has her favorite pillow & carries it around with her.  I bet she will be protective of Jake! ;)  There are constant talks about layoffs, etc., so until our budget gets marginally better, anything's possible.  The fiscal year starts July 1, so we'll know more by then. We have our last negotiated raise starting July 1 & so the day off without pay will just cancel it out & I won't really notice a difference ;)  I have a feeling I'll be just fine =)  Take care!!!

luvkayln:  Good for you having two days off!  I hope the weather does cooperate so you can enjoy a bit of sunshin :)  No AF yet!!!  I bet it'll be a little different still because it's my first real AF since my m/c.  I do have a feeling she'll be here today, so we'll see!  I do have plans on Sunday.  I'm meeting for brunch with my two girlfriends. (We meet once a month).  Later that afternoon dh & I will go to our friend's daughter's 4th b-day ;)  Dh is off today & will be working on finsihing the last bit of our floor in our front room & then moving on to his next project =)  Have a great weekend!

dnikki:  Good for ds! =)  Where are you going on your 2-hour drive?  I hope it's restful for you & you have a great weekend! =)

Hannah:  How are you doing?  Your baby sister is just beautiful =)

Candie:  How are you?  It's been a while...  I'm sure you're finishing up work & getting ready for your vacation... so jealous! =)  Have a wonderful time!!!

Arlotheslug:  Always thinking of you ;)  I hope things are turning around for you & dh.

Keyan:  I can't believe it's finally the end of your crazy work schedule & your lap is Wednesday!  I'm so happy for you & will be praying that all goes well & you'll be home relaxing very soon ;)  Enjoy your weekend!

Guesito:  How are you doing today?  As far as being an addict, admitting it is the first step... so, I'm proud of you ;-)  Take it easy & I can't wait to hear your news on Sunday!  Keeping my fingers Xd!!!

Pyar:  Has AF shown?!

mrspace:  Any news?  How about the puppies?  I bet they were a hit at the game, huh?!  Probably upstaged dh a bit.  Haha =)  I'm with Stacey, I hope you find them loving, happy homes =)

[Stacey1718]

Luvkayln - Happy 10 weeks my friend!!!!  That is so great!  Thanks for thinking of me!  We are doing well.  I have been resting and working from home.  I have not had any bleeding or anything which hopefully is a good sign!  I can't tell you how many PB&J sandwiches I have been eating :)  What are your cravings these days?  Do you have a lot of nausea?

Mommyin10 - Did af show???  Isn't it funny how excited we are for you to get AF and then get on those bcps??  I can't wait :)  I think you are right about Honey and Jake.  She is already being a little more protective and not sure if she knows anything but it is interesting.  Her favorite toy/posession right now is a pillow (don't ask!).  She carries this pillow around everywhere and will then sleep on it.  I wonder if she will want to carry Jake around when we bring him home! :)  How is work going?  Any more talk of additional days off?

Dnikki - So glad your IUIs went well.  The timing actually sounded perfect!  And please....no more strenuous physical work for you at the moment!!!  You need to rest so your little guy(s) can implant.  Take it easy for the weekend.

Guesito - You are doing good!  It is already Friday.  Sunday is only a couple of days away!!!  Did you buy that puzzle yet? lol

Mrspace - Glad you are doing ok but it would be nice to hear from your doctor.  The new puppy pics are adorable.  I would love to just take a couple of them in my arms.  They look so soft!  Good luck and make sure their new homes will be filled with love!  All the best to your friends with the triplets.  So scary!

Hannah - Hope you are doing ok.  I'll check out your new pics!

So happy it is Friday...although it's not like I will be doing anything exciting this weekend.  I think my parents will be coming to visit.  My mom is driving me a little insane lately.  She is not good at handling things like "pregnancy issues" so I find I have to explain and console her so much. It can be exhausting.  I'm sure many of you can understand when it comes to dealing with our mothers!!  Funny, dh has not even told his parents.  We don't want to stress them out.  

Take care ladies and SSBD. Looks like we are due for more BFPs!!!

Mommyin10- I lOVE the puzzle idea for Guesito! Very creative of you! ;) Soooo, has AF fully come yet??! ;) Come on CD 3! :) Any big plans for the weekend?

dnikki- So glad to hear the iui went well! I had cramping the day after my iui as well, so hopefully that's a good thing! :) Be safe on your drive today!

Stacey- Haven't heard from ya in a couple days! Hope that just means you're getting lots of rest and feeding little Jake all your fun cravings! :) Check in soon!!

Arlotheslug- Still thinking of you sweetie!

Guesito- Sunday will be here before you know it! Go get that puzzle and work on it until Sat night, and then get excited to test Sun morning b/c I know what it will say! ;) Update us asap when  you get that BFP! We all want to share your happiness with you! :)

Mrspace- That's scary about the mother going into labor who's pregnant with triplets! I'm sure your doctor does have his hands full this weekend! Hopefully they can stop the labor and everything will be OK! You'll get answers soon, we just have to continue to be patient! :) How was the game last night? Did you find any good homes for the pups?

Have a great weekend all! :) We don't have plans, but guess what!? I actually have Sat and Sun off! Woo hoo! :) Now I just have to hope the weather cooperates so I can enjoy it! lol :)

Hey gals - I don't have much time, we have a 2 hr drive this morning. I rested for most of the day yesterday - but later on about 7p.m I went out and dug up some flowers at my MIL's. The ground was really wet so it made it easier. This morning I'm crampy - just like AF cramps...Hopefully mommyin10 is right and egg and swimmers had a glorious reunion lol!!
DS is still doing very well with potty training - and he can go on a 45 min drive and not have an accident lol!!! Woo-Hoo!!

Anyways, sorry so short, But I'll check in with everyone later!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)
