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!!!

I am curious-for those of you whoa re pregnant, were you bloated in the early weeks of pregnancy? When did you start to feel morning sickness, nausea, sore boobs, fatigue?
Ad_06- I know it's normal to have an annovulatory cycle a couple times a year, maybe this is your month for that?? I'm sure your body will react just fine to the provera and AF will show very, very soon! Werid to think we are cheering for her, huh?! lol ;)
Kmcarino- I was bloated from the beginning... My other symptoms as you listed didn't show up until I was 6 weeks. Looks like we both have an u/s on Tuesday!
Well, I'm on my way to Hobby Lobby to get my little girl (My biggest little girl! :) some more fall decorations! I'm also going to get her pumpkin today and put it out there with her as well. I'll take some pics and post them!! I'll check in later! I hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

luvkayln: How fun that you're off today & shopping at your favorite place! ;-) I'm sure you'll find lots of cute decorations for Kayln & your pumpkin idea is adorable! I know, I'm sorry to hear you'll be adding another baby's name. It was a long stretch without any new babies... I know that's always hard for you. I love the ornaments, too! Very cute :) I'll be waiting to see your pics! It's funny you & Leighanne are talking about the babies hiccupping. Of course I don't have that yet, but this past week I've been hiccupping at work & out loud! It's pretty funny ;-) How's Kip? Have a good day & thanks for the congrats! I know, I can't believe I'm 4 months! =)
ad_06: I'm sorry it didn't work out for you to do iui this cycle. You know, my one very odd cycle was in April where my RE kept telling me I was nowhere close to O because my largest follie was only 5mm... Well, I knew I was close & got a +opk, went in again for another u/s and they said, no, this is probably going to be a longer cycle for you. Well, I went in again after I knew I O'd & there were no follies & my progesterone test confirmed I O'd, without them ever seeing a mature follie. That is the cycle where I got my first BFP... Anyway, your funky cycle just reminded me of that. I'm glad to see you're happy about your new plan & I hope the provera treats you well & brings on AF asap!
sbumblebeeo: Happy 4 Months!!! =) Yipppeee!!!

Hi ladies! :) I wasn't able to make it out to see Kayln yesterday, but did get the pumpkins done! I made 1 for Kayln, 1 for Adalynn and got a bunch of tiny pumpkins for all the other baby girls out with Kayln and painted them pink! I actually just did the tiny pumpkins today, so am waiting for them to dry and then I will take them out to Kayln and the other babies shortly. Not much new otherwise going on here. I've been cleaning house all day, and am now taking a break. I'm excited for my u/s on Tuesday to see how much my little addy has gained since my last growth and fluid u/s! :)
Mommyin10- Maybe you're getting the hiccups for the babies?! lol ;) I can't wait till you can start feeling them all the time, which should be very shortly!! :) Kip's doing great! Apparently the couple that was going to come look at him got a German Sheppard puppy b/c there was some miscommunication about when they could come look at him. Which stinks, but he'll get a good home! :) He's starting to thicken up quite a bit, and we're going to get hay hopefully today for all the boys outside because it keeps them warm at night. And now that the rain has finally quit, we can go get it and let them have fun tearing it up! Which is hilarious by the way! We let the girls help the boys every year and it's just so funny how much fun they have! lol ;) The smell kind of gets to me, and I'm sure it really will this year since I'm pregnant, but I'll be sure and get some pics! I'll post my pics today of the pumpkins! They're so cute! :)

How did your day go today? I can imagine it gets emotional.... Looking forward to seeing pics of Kayln's decorations ;) I went looking at baby clothes today. I realize I shouldn't because it's so tempting to buy everything that looks too cute just in case they're girls or just in case they're boys :) I was good & didn't buy anything. I sure can't wait, though! Thanks :) It'll be exciting to feel them more often & I bet you're right that that will be very soon! That's too bad about Kip's potential adoption, but the right family is somewhere out there just waiting to pick him up ;) How fun for the "kids" to play in the hay! Well, just another day to go til your u/s! I bet Addy's grown quite a bit! Have a great day!
