Calling All 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.

mrspace - i actually work for a cell phone provider, if it was minute overage, you can just up your minute plan and they will typically credit the bill for the overages. I do it everday for customers and have done it for my own plan. Its worth a shot.

I know that was off topic here but since it is my specialty lol..

Dnikki - good luck today hun!

mommyin10 - congrats on good reports and the twins again!

Leaving in a little bit for my u/s!!!! I'll update later!

mommyin10-
Yes it is just around the corner and I am super exciting.  I am feeling a little better.  I'm still taking one Zofran a day but that's not too bad.  All is well and I can't wait until Friday.  I'm trying to be excited and not nervous.  I am scared that he'll tell me I am not measuring far enough again.  :(  I really want it to go perfectly so I can relax some.  My belly is starting to poke out a little now.  I've only gained 2.5 pounds but I swear I lost some in other places and it all settled in my belly.  LOL.  Take care!!!!

[mrspace24]

Good morning everyone.  It has been quite a weekend.  I tried to get as much sleep as possible, but that didn't work very well.  We stayed up a little later than intended last night. So I'm moving at a sluggish pace today.  Friday is DH's birthday so I'm trying to figure out what we're going to do.  He works until 11pm that night, so who knows what we'll do.  The plan was that we were going with his family to Minnesota to see a Twins baseball game.  But DH's co-workers wouldn't cover his shift for Saturday.  So now they are going without us.  It's a big bummer.  But I'll figure out something special to do!  

I am starting to feel a little weird right now.  My ovary is shrinking back up really great.  I know I didn't ovulate, but I swear I feel like AF is about to start.  My hormones feel all over the place.  My skin feels wrong and I feel gross and cranky.  I've been having some stomach cramping.  My hips hurt.  My bbs feel heavy and sore.  So it definitely feels like AF is on her way.  Which makes sense, except that I usually don't have AF without meds.  So maybe this is a good thing :)

Dh and I made the decision to take a few months off of TTC with meds and such.  First of all.....we are in substantial debt.  One of my girlfriends didn't tell me that she switched cell phone carriers so now we have a 800 dollar cell phone bill.  Luckily the phone company is giving me a 5 week extension on it.  So I have 7 weeks to pay 920 dollars.  Totally do-able.  Just a pain in the rear end!   The good news is that through all of this mess, DH and I couldn't be closer. Things are going really well between the two of us.  I will have photos of our vacation put up sometime this week.  

Well I've got to get back to work. I will update more later!

kmcarino:  I've felt nauseous, but I haven't gotten sick.  I honestly have nothing to complain about... I was ttc so long & appreciate every moment of my pregnancy ;)

dnikki: Well, if baby doesn't cooperate, you'll be scheduling your anatomy scan & will confirm then !  Let's hope he/she does cooperate tomorrow though!  Yay for ds!  That's awesome that he's doing so well =)  Yes, I'll post belly pics.  I've actually been taking them each week, but I haven't gotten around to posting one...  Thursday will be 12 weeks, so maybe I'll post one then!  Have fun at the fair!!!

Keyan:  Yes, I've been saving all my sick/vacation time so I can use it when the babies are born.  I want to take off as much as I possibly can =)  The fence looks so good!!!  It's all up, but dh still wants to cover the screw holes with putty, then sand it smooth, then paint the front of the fence.  It's already painted white, but after filling the holes, he wants one more coat.  His mom & step-dad showed up yesterday & stayed for quite a while, so he didn't get that part done.  It's okay, though!  He'll finish next weekend =)  I will take some pics!

sbumblebeeo:  Hey, I get updates from justmommies, too =)  I haven't looked ahead to Thursday, though.  You know, every other site I looked at says that the second trimester starts at 13 weeks, so now I don't know.  Either way, 3 months is right around the corner, and that is exciting enough! =)  How are you feeling?

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: Thanks for starting a new thread :-) Did DH get the fence done? You need to put up some belly pics :-) I know, I'm not one to talk lol, but I promise I will post more today!

Keyan: Oh it's okay!!! I told DH that I want to talk to my OB about it anyway which we will be able to tomorrow. I'm scared to get the H1N1 vaccine when it comes out, but I will probably end up getting it since I come into contact with so many people since I'm a massage therapist. It's unbelievable when people come in being sick or start coming down with something...then they get upset when I tell them I can't massage them b/c it's unsafe for me and the massage will make them more ill. Did you have a good weekend?

Kmcarino: Glad to hear you're doing well and starting Gonal-F. Are you doing IVF?

Luvkayln: Hey, I just noticed that your next appt. is a day after my birthday :-) I'm hoping that I can get my anatomy scan done next week or the week after :-)

Soooo, we had a pretty good weekend. Work was kind of long on Saturday and I didn't even make that great of tips. I had one leave me $3.46 for a tip! Oh well, hopefully he won't come back lol. AND we get to find out what we are having TOMORROW!!!! Pending baby cooperates lol. Everyone still thinks I'm having a girl so we shall see! I think if it is a girl, I will let DH pick out the middle name but I'm not budging on the first name!!!
I'm just doing some light cleaning on the house today and laundry. We are taking DS to the last fair of year tonight but I told DH I am not eating any fair food!!! I don't want to get sick again! DS is really starting to catch on to potty training! YAY we are sooo proud of him! He's finally telling us when he's got to go #2! He'll still have a pee accident every so often but that I can deal with lol. I'm going to post belly pics later today...I know I've been saying that but we've been so busy!! So yes, I will take them and post them this afternoon :-) Hope everyone had a great weekend!! I'll check in later!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)
