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

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!!!

[mommyin10]

sbumblebeeo: Sorry you didn't get an u/s, but it's good to hear all's well with your little one :) I agree, from what I've heard that sounds like a little girl's h/b! ;) I guess only time will tell. You should know for sure on 11/9!!!

Kmcarino: at my 1st u/s at 5 weeks, 1 day they only saw one sac. The next week, 6 weeks, we saw a h/b & that's when we first saw a second sac w/ no h/b. At 7 weeks, we saw two sacs, each with a strong h/b. Best wishes!

Keyan: It sounds like your factory is gearing up for O this weekend! I'm so happy for you & so excited! I think you're right, I doubt I'll be able to wait til the weekend if we do find out the gender ;)

luvkayln: thinking of you today! I can't wait for more pics of Addy!!! :)

I just wanted to update that the u/s today at 5 weeks 5 days showed two gestational sacs but one is measuring 5 weeks 1 day and has no yolk sac.  I am not sure if that means that the second one will not make it or not. Does anyone know if it's possible?

[Keyan]

Sbumblebleeo: hum?! that heartbeat sounds like a girl!!.lets see what others here have to say...you made me laugh with the comment about recognizing with clothes on, I think mine too, but with clothes off!! ..OMG I can't beleive I just said that, but is true, with both laps, he has cked lots of things in there...LOL.

Luvkayln: good luck today, I can't wait for your update and Addy's new u/s pic.

Mommyin10: that's great you have your day off tomorrow, sounds like lots of fun coming your way (pedicure). good luck tomorrow finding out about girls or boys...and if you do, I bet you won't be able to wait until the weekend for the shopping, enjoy!!

Dnikki: just a few days until your trip! ....the weather, well it has been hot, well not too hot, just a little above the normal, but maybe before you arrive is cooler, the weather person says there is rain coming up for this weekend, and that might help. Dh and I started sleeping again with the A/C, because it started to be to hard to sleep with just a fan, usually by October 1st we don't use the a/c unit.  about your filght schedule, it sounds like you have like one stop, right?, maybe that will help with not been too much time on the air, keep in mind there is a time difference,  ...at 3pm, I think is the peak on the high temp of the day, so you will get a good update on how the temp will feel like for your stay....about DS feeling Peyton, aww!! that's really neat,  they will have a special bond, probably DS will be over protective of her!!

Jmh2005: the good thing is that time is on your side and your plans sounds great! Good luck!

MrSpace: Sorry about your b-day plans been canceled. thins will get better, stay positive!

Yesterday I felt on both ovaries sides, the pinching feeling, I hope it gets stronger, my CM is scarce, hopefully that will change soon...other than that nothing new.

[sbumblebeeo]

Boring doctor visit.  He didn't do an u/s.  All he did was check the baby's heartbeat and it is 164.  He laughed and said it's a girl.  Then I asked if that was true and he said "NO".  :(  Bummer.  He said get both flu shots when I can but hurry up on the seasonal flu shot.  He hasn't decided for sure about the progestrone injections "we'll talk about that next visit"  What ever.  It's official though.  I finally believe my doctor would recognize me with clothes on.  LOL.  Next appointment is the big anatomy scan in 3 weeks.  On November 9th at 9:15.  I CAN'T WAIT.  Though I still believe it's a boy.

[mommyin10]

dnikki:  OMG, DS's reaction to Peyton kicking is just too cute & so funny :)  They're already starting their sibling bond!  It's neat that he can feel her & understand better that she's in there :)  It sounds like you deserved extra pampering today after your busy weekend!  How did it go?  I got a gift cert, so plan on getting one sometime soon, so I'm curious how you liked it :)  My feet have hurt since early on in my pregnancy & lately they ache so bad!  I'm planning to get a pedicure on Wed before my appt since I'm off all day :)  Can't wait!  dh actually bought me a shiatsu foot massager & neck massager on Firday, which was awesome!  So, I've been enjoying that, but someone's actual hands on my feet sounds so good. Enjoy your night carving pumpkins!  Sounds like fun =)

mrspace:  Well, it sounds like you guys have a good plan :)  Should I move you off the CD list & put you under TTC in the new year?  I hope you & dh are able to spend some time together for your b-day & that AF lets up on you for a little bit!

jmh2005:  Thanks :)  I so hope we find out on Wed. too!!!  I know I'll be disappointed if we don't, but all that really matters is that the little ones are doing well :)  A bfp can surprise you when you least expect it, so keep the idea in your head that you want to wait til after you're finished with school & the au naturale method will probably work ! =)  Take care & keep us posted!

luvkayln:  I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!  I can't believe you'll have appts every week til Addy's born!  That's so exciting =) Be sure to update asap.  I'll be checking in throughout the day :)

Keyan:  You're so right!  If we find out the gender, I will be shopping for sure this weekend (if not sooner)!  hee hee ;-)
