CALLING ALL WOMEN OF STRENGTH!! New Thread 2-3-11

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.

guesito- That's great news! Have you posted pics of the room yet?
Luvkayln- I can't believe you are that far! Did you not have m/s at all with this pregnancy?
AFM- Baby C is 6 1/2 months and growing by the day! Her finalization could be any day now. I am now 8w3d. I am on z.ofran for my m/s and still on progesterone. Our next appointment is Monday with our RE!!! .


luvkayln , 1 hour ago
Rachjas- I had morning sickness from like 6-8 weeks, but barely...! Guess I'm getting lucky this time around, hehe! ;) I just feel completely different this time around, totally different then when I was pregnant with the girls, and I know each pregnancy is different but it just amazes me at how different each one can actually be! :)  Can't wait to hear your update from your apmt on Monday! I know you're anxious to see that lil bean! ;) How are you feeling?
Guesito- The baby's room is adorable! :) I'm glad the contractions have stopped, what a relief!! Wow, you're good! You've already got your bags packed?! I didn't pack mine till like a few days before I was set to have her, lol! You're on it! ;) 7 weeks will be here before you know it!
************************************************************************************************************************************
Guesito: Oh my, I hope you stay contraction free! As for the backaches, be careful because you could be contracting in your back (back labor), keep an eye on it. Also, be sure to tell your massage therapist of the GD and high blood pressure and contractions. Chances are (sorry!) that you will not be able to get a massage. I am a massage therapist and if you have any of those, we require a note from your OBGYN stating it's okay to recieve a massage. I'm not sure of the massage licensing laws in FL, but here in OH we are the strictest state and the hardest tested state throughout the U.S. Rest up and make sure you are drinking enough water.

Luvkayln: 12wks?!! Geesh! It seems like just yesterday you told us! I'm glad you aren't having much morning sickness...although we are relieved to get it, it's just rough lol! We got hit by the same snow storm you guys did - except here we got at least 1-2 inches of ice. It was nasty out.

Rachjas: How is the zofran working for you? I had it with DD but quit taking it when it made me sooo completely constipated (TMI sorry!). Ginger ale works really well and small amounts of carbs at a time, like toast or small bagel and such. Hope all is well and I can't wait until all the papers are finalized!

trh: Almost there!!! How are you feeling? Are you getting really excited yet? I can't wait to see pictures!!!

Has anyone heard from Keyan lately? The last I heard was she needed a biopsy and haven't heard anything yet...

AFM: Well, Peyton turned 1 yesterday... :-( I can't believe how fast time has gone by!!! She is walking everywhere and getting into everything lol!!! She's getting so big too, she has her 1 year well check next Tuesday. Besides the ice storm we had here, we are all doing well. DH went out and bought a generator in case we lost power b/c of all the ice accumulation, but thankfully it didn't go out. We are expecting more snow this weekend and again Monday and Tuesday. Oh joy lol! I'm ready for warmer weather!!! I hope you all are doing well!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Hi all,

I've been reading this post for the last two years and am now starting to try again. Here's a little about me.

I have two daughters (4 and 2), I'm 26. It took us over a year to get pregnant with our first, achieved only after an hsg. My hushand has a varicocele and had surgery 4 days before we found out we were pregnant, which was 3 weeks after I had my hsg, lol.

We got pregnant 4 months after we started trying our second time and it ended in an ectopic, discovered only after it had ruptured. I had to have emergency surgery and lost my right tube, but kept the right overy.

We got pregnant with our second daughter 5 months after the ectopic...it didn't take too long.

We have not been using any form of bc for the past two years, and have been haveing unprotected bd...on and off during that time. But not BFP, we are really starting to try now so we will see what happens.

I am counting myself as 1dpo even though I have not had a positive OPK even though I have been doing them the past week. I may not ovulate this month because it could be on the wrong side or I could have missed the LH surge with the OPK but I did have EWCM the past two days and it's gone now so that's what I am going by. Also my normal cycle length is 32-34 days so it would match up with that also.

Just a quick update since I'm really tired lol:

Had my surgery this morning for the endo - all went well but they did end up having to take my appendix out. I guess it was twisted and kinked which i'm not sure how it got like that...Okay, ladies, I need a nap ;-) I'll update you on my recovery as I can. I hope all of you ladies are doing well.

hey ladies i have been MIA for a while.  Jaedyn is doing great. he turned 2 on Feb 10th. He has grown up so fast. he is extremely advance in his talking and all that he does.  

Me and his father broke up again 6 months ago so its been a process getting me and jaedyns life back on track. i had to bring him to court and everything, hire a lawyer, it was ugly but its done now and we are finally getting to a normal routine again.

congrats to all the pregnancies and new babies.

Guesito- little Yamiliany will come when she is ready... She may not be done baking yet! And we only want her when she is ready... I know you were probably really excited but you will have her in your arms soon! I keep counting the weeks till little man can survive on the outside. I still don't believe I will end up with a baby at the end of all this!

Luvkayln- WOO HOO!!! yay for boys!!! I bet you are super excited! Do you have names picked out? We do but I am still scared to say it out loud just yet! I have paInted the letters for the nursery but I am waiting to hang them up or tell anyone his name! I am soooo excited for you!!

Rachjas0623- your rime is just flying along! Congrats!!! I saw a blog the other day that was mocking the whole "just adopt and you'll get pregnant" saying there is no one it ever happens to and is just an infertile urban legend and I thought of you, I was going to post that I knew of someone that it had happened to... But I didn't! That is your story... Not mine What a beautiful blessing!!

AFM- not sure what made my blood pressure peak but it has been normal every day. I added the tracker just to make sure! Maybe it was the stress of the day! As for the gestational diabetes test, I am not sure what everyone is complaining about? It wasn't that bad... I mean I wouldn't go to a store and but it Or anything but I could drink it again... I haven't heard anything yet bu like the saying goes "no hems is good news" so I will take that as I am fine! 22 weeks tomorrow...YAY!!!

So sorry ladies!!! Thanks Guesito for taking over :-D
Luvkayln, I told you you were having a BOY!!! Congrats!!!
DH and I are at the airport right now to fly down to Atlanta. I have surgery on Friday with an Endometriosis specialist there. I'm hoping this is the last surgery!!! It's scheduled for 715 a.m so when I'm up for more than an hour at a time, I'll let you know how I came out. Today was hard, I haven't been away overnight from DD at all and I'll be gone from today and come home Monday....She's with Grandma though and I'm sure getting spoiled rotten lol!!! DS is with his other Grandma and was so excited to go :-) It was hard leaving him to but I've gone a week (though it was hard when we went to PR...) being away from him. The Grandma he is staying with has Skype, so I'll still be able to  "see" him. But both ways, it's rough. I guess at least I'll be half sedated part of the time lol!!
Congrats to the new BFP'ers!!! I hope everyone is doing well!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all!!

Luvkayln-  A Boy!! Congratulations!!  Adalynn will have a brother!! How exciting!

Krichar- How is your BP? How did the Glucose test go?


AFM- Sent home from L&D 2 Cent dialated waiting to see what Yamiliany wants to do. My wrist is bruised from the IV but other than that contractions are mild they come and go so we will just have to see. Either way less than 3 weeks to meeting my lil girl =) So anxious!

Our apmt today went great! :) My Dr only works every other Monday, and I was her only patient today! She asked me if I planned on waiting until 20 weeks to find out what we're having, and I said "Not if I don't have to!" And she's like, " Ok, lets go to the u/s room!" OMG, Sean and I were SO excited! It was cute b/c she put the probe on my belly and the baby was sucking on it's thumb, and then it started to play with it's hands! So sweet! :) And then we saw... It's a BOY!!! We're so excited! Sean is so beside himself b/c he thought he was just meant to have all girls, since we've already had 2! Haha! He's wanted a boy SO bad every time, and now he finally got one! I was hoping for a boy too, since we have a girl. I wanted to experience a boy, and so we both got our wish!! We feel so blessed! Now I'm anxious to start shopping!!!! :)

Guesito- Sorry it was false labor, but it's good b/c we want your little sweetie to grow as much as possible before she makes her big debut! :)

Rachjas- How are you feeling? You'll be finding out the sex before too long! :)

trh- I know, crazy how time goes so slowly when you're pregnant, and then BAM... time just flies when the baby's born! Hard to believe addy's 15 months old today! :)
