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.

ad_06: That's great your step-son is doing better! :) Just a short time til you test! How ate you feeling?

Keyan: How are you? Any AF feelings?

dnikki: Sounds like you had a great time last night :) Hooray for drywall being finished!!! I
know that's exciting :) dh has the babies' room ready to patch & prime the walls. We'll probably paint next weekend :) Now, to find a color for a boy & a girl... ;) I know how you feel about looking stuff up. I did it to reassure myself. Because there were no supportive findings, they'll probably resolve on their own! :)

Luvkayln: 22 days til Adalynn's B-Day!!! :) Looks like we just missed each other yesterday. Your shower sounds like fun! It's always amazing to me how everything can be planned w/out the guest of honor knowing :) What a nice surprise for you! :) Yesterday I got up early & cleaned for about 2 hours. I was exhausted! ;) Then I shopped for more maternity clothes & bought my first little boy outfits :) My MIL stopped by in the afternoon, which was nice. She

hey everyone.  this will be quick and to the point because i'm feeling pretty bad.

had my surgery yesterday.  it took 2 hours.  did a lap.  4 incisions.  no cancer at all.  woo hoo.  

also did a hysteroscopy with hsg and a d&c.  He DID fine a HUGE amount of endo.  but was able to remove (what he could tell) was all of it.  Which is huge good news. he said it had even spread to my other organs.  Just my bladder as far as I can remember. I will find out more at my post op.

mom said that when dr came out to talk to them he was grinning ear to ear and so excited for us to ttc again because now we know SO much more.  still going to take time off to just relax and keep getting healthier.  

mom dad and dh have been so amazing to me.  Had to spend a lot of time in recovery which sucked but did come home same night

was really pissed at nurse in first recovery room.  family couldn't be there with me in that room.  nurse was too busy talking to another nurse and i was alone when i woke.  I don't handle anethesia well and I freak out and get super super scared when I wake up.  She kept coming over to check on me barely and leaving. It was bad.
when they finally took me to the other room and let my family come in I wouldn't let go of my mom.  Dh was already gone for work.  but it was ok

last nurse I had was mean too.  She was rough taking my iv out.  But it was ok.
other than that the whole experience was amazing.  i am in some serious pain today but doing the best i can.  sitting/standing/moving legs hurt bad.  dr said that they did A LOT of exploring in there.  so all the way up my stomach hurts bc he checked liver kidneys bladder etc.  going to talk to dr on monday to get appt and tell him about some issues.  having trouble urinating. I have to pee all the time but my bladder won't push it out like normal.  TIME ALERT  .. also haven't been able to have a bm since the surgery.  So i'm nervous about that too.  but it should be ok

throat hurts a little from having the tube in there.  But it's ok.  Air from the lap traveled to my neck/shoulders which they said can be normal, just makes me stiff.  

incisions are doing ok.  The one in my belly button hurts like h e l l.   the other 3 are super bruised but doing fine.  just a few stitches.

I miss you all.  write more later.

The chromosome testing does nto tell me anything at all about my disorder.  It just tests for the correct number of chromosomes...the same as your test did.  I hope though that this time the doctor does not find any red flags when he does the ultrasound like he found with my last pregnancy.  Then I will feel better.  I really do believe that this baby is healthy:)  It will be a long two weeks to wait though.

Thanks everyone! I am so thankful that this worked. I have to go get more progesterone on Monday. I am still amazed and it really hasn't sank in, maybe after I get my 2nd beta done it will. DH has been awesome, not letting me do things.

Symptoms are starting to come more and more. My bbs are hurting even more, and the fatigue is getting worse. I tried watching a movie with DH and my stepson last night and I fell asleep. That's good though I need my rest. I wish I could tell my stepson, but I want to wait to atleast the 1st trimester is over with.

Last night was kind of scary for me, but I think it's more worrying then anything. I know that I shouldn't be worrying, but it's hard when you've had 2 BFP that ended early. I had some minor cramps toward my left ovary, and my lower back and legs were so achy. The achy part might have just been that I was tired....and I know some cramping is normal. It's just scary sometimes.

Well ladies you have a nice weekend and I'll update as soon as I hear something on Monday.

I say just give yourselfs time to just Enjoy your life how it is now with the three of you, grow stronger and then decide as a family what to do next!! Good luck!
