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.**************************************************************************

dnikki:  Yesterday sounds like a long day.  I hope you're feeling better.  I'm so sorry you had to see your grandma feeling so sad ;(  That's really hard.  How did the chicken work out?  It's funny, I haven't been able to cook chicken since I got pregnant.  I can eat teriyaki chicken if it's cut up in small pieces, but that's about it!  I find that I'm mostly eating soup & cereal! :)  I feel so much better.  I think I've kicked my cold, but I'm still a little congested.  I did read that it's normal in pregnancy to be congested, though, so who knows?!  Lately, for the past 2 weeks, I've been really nauseous in the evenings, to the point where I feel like I'm about to throw up.  Then I'm fine for dinner...  Strange!  Yes, I hope you get your swine flu shot before you leave.  I heard that the vaccines are supposed to start being delivered to our area today, so I'm just waiting for the call from my ob's office...

Lina:  Yay!!!  I'm so happy for you & dh!  Welcome to the iui club =) haha!  I'm so happy to hear that eveything went well & we'll all be praying for a BFP in the next few weeks =)  Take care!!!

luvkayln:  Oh, I sure hope you're right! =)  That's good to know you saw body parts at 16 weeks.  That makes me feel more confident.  I just wonder if there's less room in there, plus having two, if it'll make it more difficult to see...  Fingers are tightly crossed! =)  That is so neat that you saw Addy's foot pusing on your belly!  How amazing is that! =)  Hey, did you get Kayln's Fall decorations all set up?  I know you had started, but were planning to do more. No pics yet... ;)

rachjas:  Your new schedule is so exciting!  It sounds like you're being well taken care of & everything will just fall into place :)  I'm not sure what the Heparin is for, so I can't help you there.  Maybe it's another name for something I took, though??

Candie:  I know I'm not alone in saying that I miss you ;(  Hope all's well!!!

Stacey:  How is Jake doing?  Update new pics soon =)

Keyan:  How are you feeling?  I can't wait til you start temping!!!

[sbumblebeeo]

Don't worry about me.  I should be aware of these things if they are a factor.  So much for my finger theory huh.  I hate those speculum thingys too.  They want to give me my yearly pap and I've been avoiding it.  What's the point?  If it comes back abnormal they can't do anything but monitor it since I am pregnant.  Pooie on that.  As for the moving thing...it seems like by 16 weeks everyone said they felt it move but me...  I did one time and that is because I was really upset about something at work and it poked me.  Oh well,  YAY for twin girls.

[mommyin10]

Thanks :) I've felt they were girls all along, too. That's funny :) It's not 100%, but we'll
know for sure very soon! Haha! I've wondered the same thing. I thought I could put nail polish on one finger or toe ;-) But I bet once they're born, I'll be able to tell them apart ;)
Hey, that's great to hear your Walgreens has the vaccine! I'll call to see if mine does too. I made an appt w/the high risk doc for Monday afternoon. Yay! I'm so happy my concerns will be addressed :) Hmmm, I wonder if he'll do an u/s... I hope ds feels better!

[mommyin10]

Don't worry if you're not feeling your baby move too much. I mean, I don't feel mine all the time either.  When I do, it's usually after dinner when I'm sitting still on the bed. You & I are so close & my ob says most women don't feel their babies this early, but because I'm having twins, I feel it more. Just wait! In a short time, ours will be moving like Addy & Peyton! :) I'm like you, though. I barely felt them yesterday, so worried, but they were moving like crazy at our u/s! I'm sure everything is just fine :) As far as the cervix opening, I didn't mean to worry you at all. I looked up incompetent cervix & one of the factors was a t-shaped uterus & so, it did freak me out a bit. You & I have different uterine issues, so go ahead & read about it, but try not to worry.  My ob did a vaginal exam where she inserted a speculum & did something. I don't know. I was focused on the speculum 'cause I hate those things! ;) Anyway, it was a quick look & everything seemed okay. I'll make an appt w/the high risk doc for next week just so he'll ease my mind as well. Oh, your anatomy scan is just before mine & my ob said that doc will check everything! So, remember to mention it then :) I bet your heart pounding is the extra blood flow & especially because you're so tiny, it probably affects you more. I hope my message helps & doesn't worry you. That's not my intention :)

Scripps: Yay on the transfer!! Take it easy the next couple of days :-) It sounds like everything went fantastic and although I don't know much about IVF, it sounds as if the embies did very well! FX!

Mommyin10: We told you it was girls lol!!! That is sooo exciting! One Q for you though - how will you tell them apart lol!!! I always wondered about that! I'm glad everything is going well and they are going to keep a close eye on your cervix and such. Everything sounds great!!!

Quick update from me - I have a LOT of baking to do when DS goes down for his nap! DS came home with a cough yesterday - had a runny nose when he went to the sitter. Got him in to the peds first thing this morning and they are thinking it's basically just allergies and maybe a small viral thing going. They prescribed him Zyrtec to take at night. So hopefully we'll all have a restful sleep tonight!
Soooo, I called Walgreens and they have the H1N1 shot form of the vaccine!!! They will vaccinate both my son and I and I called the peds office just to make sure he was okay to get it today. After his nap, we will be heading there to get the vaccine. Soooo glad!!! He doesn't have the regular flu shot yet b/c of the nationwide shortage, but hopefully later next week it will be available again. I'm glad we can get him vaccinated for at least one though!! I will update later! Have a great day ladies!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

mommyin10- I had to read yourpost 3 times b/c I was trying to scan it for the sex first.  Aww... girls.  That is so fun!!!  I am so excited for you.  I read the post about faining...it's been bad for me too.  Especially if I take a hot shower or get up to fast.  My docotr said it's normal and to slow my movements down.  I also asked Monday about my heart.  It hurts so bad some times.  Like it's pounding out of my chest and takes my breath away.  He said as long as I don't actually black out it's probably just palpatations from the increased blood flow.  I'm starting to get worried.  I don't really feel the baby move too much.  I try to lay still to feel it and all I feel is my heart pounding.  I did feel it a couple times but just a little bit.  When I realized what it was, it stopped.  I guess I should start reading what you are reading about the cervix opening up.  That is new to me.  My doctor won't tell me all the risks b/c he says I'll just worry but if I ask, it's a different story.  How did your doctor check your cervix?  If you don't mind me asking, what do they do?
Congrats again on a great visit.  I wish I knew what we were having.

Scripps-  I am so thinking about you and wishing you the best!!!   Lots of luck
