Calling All Women of Strength!!!

[mommyin10]

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.

Richard & Ava see their pediatrician today. We're always anxious to see how  much they've gained :) Richard's supposed to be taken off his formula & put on something else. The one they're on has extra calories for preemies. I'll post their update later today :)

kmcarino: Best wishes at your appt today!

sbumblebeeo: How are you spending your last day before Shelby's arrival?!?
I'll be thinking of you & awaiting your update! :-)

[Nino7]

hello,
am on my CD3.
He put me on clomid this month and he gave me pills called progyluton, which is a combination of estrogen and progesterone. I am suppose to take it from day 5
My DH blood work results were negative, means there is no anti-bodies (Thanks to god). The doc gave him cough medicine; he said it will help to liquidate (the agglutination).

Take care,

[ad_06]

I will be thinking about you and baby Shelby today!!!! Can't wait for updates and pics to follow =D

[kmcarino]

I just wanted to update that my appt was ok other than that they had to stick me four times to get my blood.  I am meausuring right and the heart rate was normal at 144.  I gained another 7 pounds from my last visit which is unbelievable to me since my belly growth has definitely slowed down.  My next appt is in two weeks.  I also got a prescription to get an ultrasound for growth so I will schedule that for a few weeks from now.

Hooray for Shelby Rachel arriving today!

[BabyMadd]

YAY im ovulating :o)

early too for a change, maybe fertilaid is good after all x

[dnikki0928]

sbumblebeeo: I hope everything has gone well today!! Thinking of you and Shelby! Update when you can!!!

Babymadd: Yay for ovulating!! Isn't it funny how we get excited over things like that lol?

Everything is going great here! Just busy busy busy lol! Peyton is getting huge! Her next appt. is on Tuesday and she has to get her first round of shots...I hate those! It makes me sad... I just wanted to give a quick update - I now have a computer but I'm having issues locating all my picture files since we had to transfer everything onto a new computer...I will let you all know when I upload ew ones :-) I hope everyone is doing great!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[jmh2005]

Hey girls! Sorry for the late post. I am CD7 today. I have been so sick since our bahama vacation. I got bronchitis somehow and am still fighting it to this day. going on 15 days now. Hope everyone is doing well!

Congrats to Ad_06 on your son! How exciting to finally know!

[luvkayln]

Hi girls! :) Sorry I haven't posted lately...! So much is going on I feel like. My mil is moving to Catalina Island on April 20th, so we're moving into her house! I'm excited b/c right now we rent and it's just a small 2 bedroom house. Her house is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house, which means Addy gets 2 rooms! A bedroom and a toy room! lol! :) She's getting so big you guys! We started her on cereal Tuesday, it was SO much fun seeing her eat it! She made such a big mess, I loved it! :) I just love watching her everyday discovering new things! It shocks me really b/c just this past Saturday, she couldn't reach the floor while in her jumperoo, and on Tuesday I put her in there and she could reach!! She's also starting to reach for her toys, and holds on to them really good! She puts me in the best mood every morning, b/c she's always so happy when she wakes up! She just brightens my day everyday!!! :)

Sbumblebeeo- Wow, today is the day, congratulations!!! I know this has been a long awaited day, I'm SO happy for you! :) Can't wait for your update that your little girl is here, and I'm very anxious to see pics!!! :)

Kmcarino- So happy to hear everything is going great on your end!! I can't believe you're already in your third trimester! :)

Mommyin10- Hey you! ;) Sounds like everything is going great with the babies!! Wow, they're switching Ricky's formula, how exciting he's getting off his preemie formula! What did they end up putting him on? Ava will catch up soon! ;) So, have you started tummy time yet? I love putting Addy on her tummy, especially now b/c she can really hold her head up and look all around! :) Have you thought about when you'll go back to work? Addy has her 4 month check up on April 9th at 10 am... which means more shots! :(

Dnikki- Wow, Peyton's 2 months already??!! That's crazy! I know, it was SO sad when Addy had her 2 month appointment and had to get her shots! :( I couldn't watch! And she has that delayed reaction, ya know? So when they did the shots, she screamed like 10 seconds later and she was so upset she held her cry in so her face was bright red! The nurses just stared at her, and I'm like yelling "breathe, breathe!" It was horrible! :( Can't wait to see new pics! :)

Babymadd- Yayy for ovulating!! :) Good luck! ;)

jmh2005- Oh, I'm sorry you're so sick! :( I hope you start feeling better soon!!

Keyan- CD 14 already!? Wow, I really haven't been on in a while! I know the adoption process is your priority right now, but I'm still sending good luck vibes for this cycle! :)

Hi, ladies.  So, our appt on Wed. went well.  Richard is now 7 lbs, 4 oz and Ava is 6 lbs, 7 1/2 oz!  The doc kept them both on the 22-calorie formula and we'll likely switch it to a 20-cal next week.  We go back on Friday.  Both babies have a slight umbilical hernia, which the doc said wasn't something to worry about.  He'll just keep an eye on them.  I was concerned that it was causing pain & maybe that's why Richard cries/screams at times, but the doc assured me it wouldn't cause them pain, so I feel better.  It's so hard to believe they're 6 1/2 weeks old already & yesterday was my due date =)  dh and I took some great pics of the babies together & finally ordered our announcements.  They turned out so cute!  I promised I wouldn't post pics or send them out before the announcements go out, so I'll post them in another week :)

sbumblebeeo:  We're all thinking of you & Shelby and looking forward to your update!!!  I hope everything went smoothly & you're resting comfortably, loving & admiring your little girl!!! =)

Leighanne:  I love Jaedyn's new pics!  He's gotten so big & sat so well for his photo shoot =)

Luvkayln:  Wow, I didn't realize the move to Catalina meant a new house for you!!!  That's great =)  Addy will need extra room for all her clothes & toys!  heehee :)  Her new pics are just beautiful.  She's such a happy girl :)  I love that she's accompanying you to see Kayln, too.  So sweet! Their doc didn't switch his formula yet.  He said maybe this next week.  It'll just be switched to a 20 calorie formula rather than 22.  We use Similac now, so we'll stick with that or switch to Enfamil.  Not too sure yet.  We haven't started tummy time yet.  I do hold each baby up on my chest after they eat, though & they each hold up their heads to look at me!  It's amazing to me that they can do that.  Their necks are so strong already :)  We'll have to get out their jumperoo, cradle swing or bouncy seats!  I'm sure they'd enjoy those now! =)  It's so nice to hear how Addy brightens your day!  I feel the same way & it's just too awesome for words =)

jmh2005:  I hope you had a wonderful vacation even though you got so sick!  Poor you! ;(  I hope you feel better soon!

kmcarino: That's great your appt went so well & you're ready to schedule your growth scan!  Those are so amazing =)  It's good you're gaining weight.  I can't believe I was 176 when my babies were born & I'm already down to 139 without exercise or anything.  Just taking care of them ;)

dnikki:  Sorry in advance to Peyton for her shots next week ;(  We'll be getting ours in 2 weeks...  I didn't realize our babies were so close in age!  It sounds like she's doing great & gaining well.  How's big brother handling having a lil sis? :)  Good luck with the computer!  How'd we ever survive without them?!

BabyMadd:  Yahoo!  Congrats on O'ing & best wishes for this cycle =)

Mommyin10- Oh yes! I forgot to mention that part to you! :) I'm excited to move, and have more space, but am sad to see her go! I'm mostly sad for addy's sake, I want her to know her grandma! The camp closes for the month of december, so she'll be back for a month and for addy's b-day and xmas, but addy will be a year old by then!! Crazy! Oh ok, so will they switch ava's too next week or just ricky's? We use similac as a supplement too, just for daycare tho. She seems to do ok on it. Well, at first when I introduced formula along w/ breast milk, we used enfamil and she spit up like crazy! So now she gets similac sensitive, for less frequent spit up. It works! ;) Well, I gotta run. Sorry to make it so short, gettin' ready for work! Take care! ;)

Michelle- Thinking of you!! I hope you update soon!!

[rachjas0623]

We finally got a call from our socialworker.

I have to work Monday and my DH does not. My SB was this entire past week.

When she called Friday (she called my DH's phone), she sat up DH's interivew for 1:00pm Monday at our home. She said that she would then complete the home inspection and our couple interview when I got home.

I hope she waits to do the home inspection until I get home (3:15pm), but I am thinking it may already be complete by the time I get home from work. We shall see! I just want to her what she says as she walks around.

She told my DH that we would set up a time for her and I to meet when she is here. I hope it's this week also!

As for our profile.... the words are completed, but now we need to continue to work on the layout! It should be completed by the end of the week also!

So.... I am off to clean!!!

[mommyin10]

Luvkayln: That's too bad about Addy's grandma, but it's good you're planning to visit in the summer :) Addy will have a blast! I'm not sure about the formula. We'll just wait & see what happens on Friday. It's good to know about the Similac sensitive. My babies have been spitting up ;( so I'll keep that in mind. Hope you had a good day at work!

Rachjas: It sounds like things are moving along! How exciting :) Be sure to let us know how Monday goes! Did you have your SET?

Happy Easter, Ladies!!! :)  

[ad_06]

Ob appt got changed fro 4/6 to 4/9. I still see the diabetic specialist on the 6th though.

I am starting to wake up in the wee hours of the morning again....lol Maybe I can get some sleep on the couch =D Everything seems to  be going pretty good.  Sometimes I still get "some" pressure, but it doesn't stay for very long and it's hard to judge what is"gas" pressure and what is the pressure I had before!?! It's nice to have my hours cut! I am alot more stress free.....besides when it comes payday, but the baby is well worth anything!!!!!

Well I hope you ladies have a Happy Easter!!!

[rachjas0623]

Mommyin10- My transfer is set for 5.11. This cycle is on downred cycle (BCPs & Lupron). I have to have that since my cycles aren't regular on their own. After AF arrives I will start Estrace. My lining u/s is 5.6. My embie will be thawed the morning of 5.11.

Everyone- Have a wonderful Easter! I have cooking and TONS of cleaning to do in order to get ready for our home inspection tmw!

[mommyin10]

Oops! Welcome to your tww!!! :) I'll update you tomorrow.

[sbumblebeeo]

Hi Girls!  We're finally home.  We got home yesterday but it's been a little crazy with company and feeding and trying to sleep.  i feel guilty about sitting on the computer but I wanted  you all to know Shelby is just perfect!  She was 7lbs 1ounce and 20 inches long!  The c section was ok...  the pain afterwards was a bit more than I thought it would be but mostly b/c I wanted to be up moving around and taking care of my new baby girl.  We ended up staying an extra day in the hospital b/c she lost 11% of her weight and that was double what they like.  We are still working on the whole breast feeding thing and my milk took it's time comeing in but it's getting there.  We saw her doctor today and he said we need to continue to wake her every 3 hours to feed but by the time I am done feeding and done pumping to stimulate my breasts it's only two hours before we have to start again.  Anyone know when she'll feed enough to let me sleep for 4 hours?  That would be great!  This 2 hours a day stuff is hard.  She is so beautiful though.  I just want to hold her and when I can sleep, I dont want to in case she needs me.  I'm sure we'll figure it all out.  She has an appointment for an ultrasound on her hips at 6 weeks so we are hoping for positive results.  I'll try to get some pictures posted tomorrow.

Hope everyone else is well.  We are sooooo happy with our little crankypants.  :)  She is calling me now.
