Calling All 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.

Guesito: Congratulations on the grandbaby!  
Mommyin10 and luvkayln: glad you are feeling well and getting your nests ready.
Dnikki: Hope you feel better today.
Keyan: I'l be interested to hear what you think if you try acupuncture.  I think it helped me and plan to see him again soon.  It's expensive: 75Euros, but he's the head of the acupuncture association in France, and he took more copious notes and paid more attention to me than my doctor did.  He usually did two areas: one for ovaries or uterus or blood flow and one for nerves, morale.

So, we have another appointment with the doctor we've decided to work with tomorrow.  We got the results of the sperm test back.  This was an IMSI test.  I'm not sure if I'm reading it right, but it looks as though only 30% of the sperm are mobile, only 10% of those are normally-shaped, and only 6% of that 10% have normal heads and DNA.  If this is the case, then they need to use a microscope to magnify 6600 times so as to pick a good sperm.  

Anyway, I'll know more tomorrow.

Guesito:  Congrats!  She's beautiful =)  What's her name?

Luvkayln:  Yep, dh has a full weekend, but will have it completed! =)  I'll have to take pics after 'cause it looks great! =)  I'll be finishing up cleaning out our back room so that we can move all the stuff from the babies' room into our back room, plus our stuff in storage.  Then we don't have to pay the storage fee anymore. Yay! Once the babies' room is cleared out, we can get started on it.  We're seeing my parents next Sat. and also my "grandma".  She's my grandpa's wife, who I knew as my grandma.  She's moving to Boston to be closer to her daughter, so we'll see her for our last time & share our news with her...  Then mom & I will shop =)  Fun!
Have fun tonight!  I love BBQs =)  I was reading your post to Keyan & I also will get paid maternity leave for 3 months.  Then if my doc writes me a note, I can use partial sick time (which we have after running out of full sick time) to stay off longer.  Otherwise I can stay off without pay.  So, I'll be off at a minimum of 3 months, but I'd like to stay off as long as I can of course ;)

dnikki:  How nice of dh & ds to take you out ;)  Sorry you got sick, but it's good to hear baby's letting you know he/she is okay.  How often do you use your doppler?

sbumblebeeo: Kayln's was always between 148-160 and so is Addy's! :) But, when Addy is sleeping, hers is around 135-140, so...  I honestly think it's how active they are being where their heartrate is, but you're right, it's fun to see if the theory is right! ;)

Guesito- Her pics are absolutely adorable! Congrats again! :)

Keyan- How awesome that you'll get paid maternity leave when you're baby gets here! :) I'm planning to stay home at least until March with Addy, and my last day will be Nov 25th. Kinda pushing it, but it'll give me a week or so to relax before the big day! ;) Plus, I'll be able to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving and get some good Christmas shopping deals, unless she has other plans in mind to come early! :) I'll take pics soon, I promise! I'm cleaning house today instead of tomorrow. We're having a big bbq tonight, so it should be a lot of fun! :)

Dnikki- Yeah, the chinese gender chart also said I was having a boy, and they were wrong! ;) I can't wait for Tuesday, I'm so excited for you!! What time is your appointment?? That's so sweet that dh can feel the baby move now! :) I remember when I was pregnant with Kayln, the very first time Sean finally felt her move he had his head on my stomach and she kicked him right in his eye! He loved it! :)

Mommyin10- Hope dh is able to get the fence all done so you guys can start on the babies' room!! :) Hope you're having a great weekend!! ;)

Guesito: Congrats!!! I'll have to go check out the pics!!! What's her name?

sbumblebeeo: I've heard of the HR theory lol, but I don't remember what DS's HR was... I'll let you know on Tuesday what I'm having. This little one's HR fluctuates between the 140's and higher 150's...

Keyan: Yeah so....I'm kinda scared to go to PR now!! I'll talk to my OB about it more on Tues. and see what he says. As far as the mosquitos, we aren't really doing any adventurous stuff - just one day of snorkeling so other than that I think we'll just stick around the hotel and relax :-)


Worked 10-6 yesterday and again today...as of last night I only had 2 massages booked - of course one at 10 and the other at 5... could be a long day. I made good tips again yesterday though :-) DH and DS took me out for dinner last night, it was good until about 930. I ended up having vomiting and diarrhea and I started itching really bad on the back of my head, neck and my back. I didn't have hives but I think I was starting to have an allergic reaction to something. I've had crab cakes plenty of times before but Idk...I told them to make sure the seafood was well cooked since I am pregnant. Baby moved a few times throughout the night I guess letting me know it's okay and no harm done to it, which really reassured me. I'm hoping my doppler gel comes today since I'm basically out now!!! Well, I'll check in later tonight, gotta go get ready for work!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-) Have a great weekend everyone!!

Anyone heard of the heart rate theory?  They say that if the baby's HR is on the higher end it will be a girl and on the lower end it will be a boy.  Normal range is 120-160, that we know for sure.  Anyone who knows what they are having (or had) remember what the HR was?  

This is just a fun and curious survey.  Of course I'll be happy with a healthy baby.  Of course I have no preference.

Good Morning!! Hope you are all enjoying the day! Is friday!

Mommyin10: when do you find out when your OB will see you again? I think it is a good idea to go in every two weeks even if is just to make your fears go away for a while! as of me and CD1, I don't know, maybe just keep me where I am, cause I know I will be like CD40+ when ever I do and if I do O....maybe in another 4 weeks you can put me on as CD1.

Dnikki: How exciting that you have started on the details for the trip,I know it must be sad to leave DS but just keep in mind that it will be a good get away for dh and you before you become parents of two!  ... the AHINI flu virus is still very active here, so just be really careful...we haven't heard of any more deaths or anything, but still you need to be careful. and also, it is the mosquitos season, and you need to be careful with that too...I am not trying to scared you, I mean everytime you travel to a different country there are precautions you need to have, and I am just letting you know the precautions you need to have here in PR in this season. As of me, my doc said to try naturally for 6 months, maybe I will try accupunture if by January I haven't gotten my BFP.

Luvkayln: I know! I wish I could be a stay mom too! here in PR we get 2 months paid of maternity leave and maybe I will be able to add a month off from sick leave or vacation time and maybe another month of and no pay....although I know if by then I am still working here, I will have to come atleast once a week to the office, but that is ok, if that means I will be able to be at home with the baby for 4 months......Now, I just hope I do get pregnant and can make this plan work!!! hopefully you will find the perfect babysitter to take care of your baby.  I am more excited to see how much bigger Addy is getting!! so please take some pics soon!! ;o)  thanks for the prayers!!

Sorry, dh is our chef, so I can't give you any filet pointers ;)  I'm sure they'll be delicious, though!  I know how you feel.  The evenings are the hardest for me.  Nothing usually sounds good, yet I'm hungry.  Last night I got into the Ben & Jerry's peanut butter cup ice cream - Yum!  I think I'll make a beef/vegetable soup tonight.  Have a good night!

Mommyin10: At night, I just kinda feel hungry but not enough to really eat. Usually though, I do eat something small like peanut butter crackers or some peanuts or something small. But I just feel like I don't ever fill up...I don't know, it's kinda wierd lol. I brought up the name Peyton to see his reaction, but that's it (since he doesn't want to talk names until we find out... :-(    ) but I'm set on that name!!! He can pick the middle name if he wants lol. He pretty much got to name DS who is named after DH's little brother who died when he was 3mo. old. They think it was an anuerysm but don't know for sure since it was 40yrs ago (yes, DH is older than I lol). So I think it's only fair!!

Keyan: How exciting you'll be on your way to a super sticky BFP so soon!!! YAY!!! Are you planning on natural, drugs, IUI etc? November is coming fast, and DH just filled out our flight info - asking if there were any medical conditions and such so that his company can get our tickets. I'm just wondering what time they are having us fly out so we can make those arrangements for DS. We will sure miss him...We've never been gone a week without him. I know he'll have a blast with his Grandma but after 2-3 days, it will get tough on me especially with these hormones flying lol.

Luvkayln: We find out on Tuesday as long as baby cooperates!!! I'm so excited I can't wait!!! The Chinese Gender Chart says I'm having a boy, so we'll see who's right lol!! This baby is already getting pretty active. I can feel kicks/punches and rolls now. DH is able to feel them too which is nice  :-) Baby kicked his head a few times the other night, it was pretty funny.

I'm cleaning today...fun!!! Yeah right lol - Does anyone have a good recipe for Filet Mignon? I have 2 steaks left and I want to make them tonight, I just am not quite sure what all to put on them/marinate them in... Any ideas?

dnikki:  I feel the same way.  Sometimes I cook dinner & then can't eat it 'cause of the smell or whatever & then five minutes later, I'm hungry and looking for something to eat! =)  If you feel hungry, don't ignore it, though.  Eat something, even if it's a piece of fruit or something.  So, you haven't told dh about the name Peyton yet?  I love it! =)  My next appt is 9/25 and my ob said she'd see me a month after that (but I thought I'd have my anatomy scan in between those visits), so I'm planning to ask at my next appt if she'll see me two weeks later & I think she'll say yes.  Going in definitely reassures me :)  Yes, I probably will find out before my anatomy scan, but at least I'll know for sure on Nov. 11! =)

Keyan:  Yes, like I mentioned to dnikki, because my anatomy scan isn't when I thought it would be, I will ask my ob to see me again in two weeks.  Otherwise, I'll worry!  You're right, though.  It's good that everything is looking great & she felt she wouldn't need to see me... but I'll still ask! =)  So, should I still put you as CD1 on Saturday or do you want to wait til AF shows?  Just let me know!  I know we're all excited for you to get back on our list & get that BFP!!! =)

luvkayln:  I know, it seems like a long time, but it'll fly by!  Plus, can you believe that Addy will be here right after my scan?!  It's amazing how fast the time is flying by! =)  Yes, even if we find out sooner what the sex is, I definitely look forward to the anatomy scan.  That will let us know that the babies are okay, as well & will confirm whether we're having boys or girls!!!  How exciting! =)  Well, have a great day at work!

Keyan- Oh, our prayers are definately with you! ;) We can't wait for you to start ttc again too, and we really can't wait for you to get a BFP in 8 weeks! :) No new pics yet for me! I know I need to take some more belly pics! A friend of mine went to Vegas for a week, and I just saw her again yesterday and she says I look SO much bigger than when she left! lol :) I thought that was pretty funny! As far as going back to work, I will but I'm not sure if I'll work full time. I would love to just stay home with her, but I know realisticly that's probably not possible. :( We'll see how it goes though. I don't want to take her to daycare, but finding someone I trust to watch her during the day will also be hard, so I'm a little stuck.

Mommyin10- Happy 11 weeks!! :) What a stinker that you can get your anatomy scan until 20 weeks! :( That's how long I had to wait with Kayln, but I got spoiled with Addy! :) Maybe with them doing ultrasounds every 2 weeks you'll be able to find out sooner with your OB, that's what happened to me! But of course I still went to my anatomy scan because they measure everything then and make sure she's ok! :) 2 months does seem like a while, but it'll be here before you know it! :)

Dnikki-140-160 definately sounds like a girl to me! :) Addy's is usually at 148 unless she's being REALLY active, then it's more like 160's+. So what's the girl name you have picked out? When do you find out for sure? Should be soon! Yay! :)

Guesito- Congrats!! Can't wait to see pics of your new grandbaby! :)

Stacey- It's really good to hear from you! :) I'm glad you and Jake are doing so well! I'm sure it feels totally different not having dh around during the day now, but at least everyone is adjusted to this new beautiful life! ;) Give Jake hugs and kisses from us all, and can't wait to see more pics of Jake! :)

Candie- Hope all is well with you! Check in soon! :)

Mrspace- Hey there! Good to hear from you! :) Glad to hear you and dh went on your honeymoon!! Hope you had a wonderful time! I know that time together is much appreciated by you both; Hopefully soon Sean and I can do something like that together before little Addy gets here! :)

Gotta run girls! My hair is still wet and I have to be at work in 30 minutes! Yikes! :) Have a great day!!

Mommyin10: Yikes! 2 months sound like alot!!! but is really not!! by then you will have a really big and beautiful baby bump!! I know you were hoping to be seen by someone every other week, are you planning on asking for appt sooner with your OB? On the other hand, if they aren't worry for seeing you sooner, is a good sign, all is going perfectly!! Happy 11 weeks!! 1 more week and you are off to the second trimester!! Woohoo!!

Stacey: It is nice to hear from you!! How is Honey with his baby brother? Now is that daddy is off to work, is just the three of you!! ...how about the grandparents, how are they doing? I am sure they are loving Jake!!

Luvkayln: Happy 25 weeks!! your work plan sounds really good!! do you plan to go back to work after a maternity leave? Have any new pics to share?

Dnikki: Yes Novemeber is coming up really fast!! Do you have everything set up already for the trip? the fried bologna sandwich sounds like not too healthy, but the way you are preparing it, doesn't involve grease, other than the mayo, so I say, if it makes you feel good, then go for it. Can't wait to see more belly pics!

MrSpace: Welcome back!! Sounds like you had a great time!! I will be cking your pics!

Guesito: Congrats ABUELA!! be sure to update us soon.

As of tomorrow is the 4th week mark with the Lupron shot active in me, on saturday it starts the countdown to getting my system back to normal and my cycle started, I should technically call it CD1, but going by my last experience with Lupron, I know is going to take around 6 more weeks to hopefully O and 8 weeks to get a BFP or AF. We haven't TTC since January (8 months) and dh and I can't wait to start again, only this time we are more than ready to get our sticky BFP!! all prayers are welcome!!

Stacey: Glad to hear Jake is doing so well and I hope your's and dh's adjustment of him going back to work is going alright. I'll check to see if you posted new pics of him yet!

Mommyin10: That's funny with the english muffin lol! I made a huge dinner last night and we invited the neighbors over too - it was soooo good, but at like 830 last night I was hungry again, but I decided I was not hungry enough to eat lol. You're getting u/s's done all the time right? They'll be able to tell the sex before your anatomy scan if that's the case! I found out with ds at about 16-17wks. So basically I think you'll know within at least a month!!  YAY!! I asked DH last night if he had thought of any more baby names and he said he runs them through his head but none really stick - so I said well if it's a girl I have a name picked and I don't think I'm going to budge on it lol!

Well, I got on the scale this morning and it's still saying I weigh 146 - up 6lbs from when I lost weight. I've think I've weighed this for a couple of weeks now, should I be concerned I'm not gaining anymore? The baby is doing great as far as I can tell - the heartbeat is strong and baby is getting quite active and it's kicks/punches are getting stronger.  I guess only a few more days until the appt. so that'll reasure me!!! I'll check in later - I'm going to get some breakfast lol...

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

So, I called to schedule my anatomy scan & was told they don't do them til 20 weeks, so I'm going in on Nov. 11.  Luckily I have the day off work already, so I didn't have to take time off ;)  I'm trying to save as much as possible!  So, we'll know the sex in 2 months & next appt on Sep 25, we'll listen to their heartbeats!  I can't wait for that.

AFM- Headed to the hospital Daughter being induced so  I will be a grandma in a couple of hours!!!   =)  its retarded how she was asked to be in the hospital @ 7:45pm for induction..... I bet you the dr wants to be able to see patients during the day and induce at night not to lose $$$

Anyway Im just thrilled its going to happen.. Down side.... had to cancel my re appt for tomorrow. It is now re-scheduled for 10/1 For a good cause though =)

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I am MIA on and off.  It is rare to have a moment with 2 hands to type and if I do get a break, I am showering, eating or cleaning!!!  Jake is doing really well.  He is over 7lbs now. He is a very good baby and only cries when he is hungry or is being changed.  We are both doing good and dh is back at work this week.  So it is an adjustment but a good one.  I have some more pics....I will post on my next "break".

Mommyin10 - So glad your appt went well!  I will check out your pics.

Luvkayln - 25 weeks tomorrow! Woo hoo!  That is awesome.  

Gotta run!  Jake calls.  I will catch up with the rest next time.

SSBD!!!
Stacey

Mrspace: Glad you're back and you and DH had a great time!! What all did you do/go?

Mommyin10: Thanks for the 17wks note!!! The u/s pics are so cute!! I can't wait for next week either - it's funny b/c everyone says I'm having a girl lol, I'm just not sure (obviously!). We're still stuck on boy names, but as far as the girl - I'm NOT BUDGING lol!!!

Okay, so I cannot get full!!! I can eat all day long and not feel full - and my big thing for lunch right now (and I know it's so not healthy) but it's fried bologna sandwiches! I don't add extra grease or whatever to fry it, I just put plain bologna in the pan and let it brown then have it on toast with light mayo and lettuce - Mmmmmm. I've had one the past three lunches lol! But I still feel like I'm starving!!! I'll get a healthy side to lunch  (grapes) to over-rule the bologna lol...

sbumblebeeo:  Happy belated B-day!!!  & Happy 10 Weeks!  Woo-Hoo =)  That's an interesting question you asked because I was thinking next week would start my second trimester, but now that I think about it, it probably is week 13 that starts it. Thanks for thinking of me ;)

luvkayln:  I'll call to schedule my anatomy scan today. I'm excited that we'll have it in approx a month :)  No, I won't cut back my hours at work, but I have a very stress-free job right now.  I'm in a courtroom that keeps me so relaxed, and I'm sitting all day, which is good, too. That's great you'll get vacation pay through the end of the year :)  I'm saving all my sick/vacation time for when the babies are born, which is great that I haven't gotten sick so far 'cause I want to take off as much time as possible when they're here.

dnikki:  Yes, I posted the pics at luvkayln's insistence! ;)  lol!  They're definitely not the quality of my RE's office, but check them out & see if you can see them hanging out in their bunk-bed position ;)  How cool that you may know your baby's sex next week!!!  I can't wait to find out if luvkayln is right! =)

Good morning everyone!  I'm so sorry for my absence.  DH and I went on our honeymoon, so I've been gone.  We just got home yesterday morning.  Today is my first day back at work since last Wednesday.  It was so much fun.  We didn't go anywhere big, but it was still great.  Dh just made it perfect.  Granted we are SO paying for it now.  He spent so much money, it's not even funny.  But we'll work around it.  I will be putting up pictures later this evening.  On top of the stress from spending so much money this weekend, we no have the phone bill from h e l l.  It turns out that my best friend switched carriers and didn't tell me.  So for 2 weeks, we talked non stop during the day (peak minutes).  So now we will have a bill due the beginning of October for 800 dollars.  Joy.  I did call the phone company and got an extension.  So that's fun.

Oh well, the weekend and all was still worth it.  I am doing pretty good myself.  We went to the doctor yesterday.  My left ovary is now down to 30mm.  Much better than what it was, but still not great.  I still have some sharp pains, but it's getting much better.  I have been keeping track of my temps, and I definitely haven't ovulated yet.  Which isn't a surprise since we aren't trying right now.  It's kind of nice to have the break.  

luvkayln, dnikki, mommyin10- I'm sorry for making you all worried.  I am doing fine though, as I said.  I can't believe how far along you all are getting.  I will be going to look at all your new photos here in just a few minutes.  Thanks for continuing to check up on me.  You guys are the sweetest!

Okay, well I have a ton of work to catch up on, so I'm going to cut this off here.

sbumblebeeo: We were typing at the same time lol! I think I've gained a little more now, but I need to weigh myself in the a.m...It's def. baby though! I did accept you as a friend so you should be able to see my pics now. The 2nd trimester officially starts when you hit 13 weeks I believe. So you don't have much longer!!! I'm glad you are down to 1 zofran a day now. Do you have any pics up? That would be funny if we recognized each other since we are both in OH lol.

Mommyin10: You have to post pics!!! I'm glad to hear all went well yesterday though - how exciting that you'll be getting many u/s =) Thanks for the photo comment :-) Yes, our romance is still there lol even after almost 4 years lol! I don't know what I'd do without him!

Luvkayln: Addy's getting so big!! Glad to hear your doc's are on top of everything and are going to be monitoring you so closely. Probably makes a world of difference and puts your mind at ease. What did you think of the HR's I gave you? Still thinking it's a girl? We'll know next Tuesday!!

Keyan: Thanks!! We had such a great time, and it was nice to be all dressed up and just us two... Looking forward to PR in Nov!!!

In just 6 1/2 days we will know what we are having (pending baby's cooperation lol)!!! DH got to feel the baby kick last night. I had come home from work (2-10) and used my doppler and baby hates it when I use it lol. So it started kicking and I told DH to come over and see if he could feel it. So he layed his head (not the full weight obviously) on my belly and the baby went nuts kicking his head lol!! It was so cute!!
I still can't eat chicken. Tried to last night at work and it all came back up...So, apparently this one will like red meat lol - I couldn't eat ground beef when I was p/g with DS and he LOVES chicken lol.
DS is doing really well with potty training. We are basically going days at a time w/o having accidents now which is really nice! He should be all set by the time baby arrives.
I'm off today, so it's my re-couping day after working late...I'll check in later!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)
