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.

luvkayln- We are bottle feeding him about twice a day and he's still eating from her some too.  Just not much.  We have the opposite problem with the bottle. The nipple is too small and he's not sucking on it very well.  If things don't get better over the next few days, I may just go buy a small baby bottle.  Kya's nipples are HUGE so his mouth is used to that I guess. He's adorable though.  I'm sure he'll pull through.  I can't wait to see pictures of the little possum! As for right now, I don't know what I'm going to do tonight.  Dh told me at lunch that Kya had made an even bigger mess! (poo'ing everywhere).  I don't think I can clean it up again.  I just wish I knew what her problem was.

Stacey- Thanks! :) The little possum is still hangin' in there! He's so cute, I need to take some pics and upload them so you guys can see him! :) I need to find a smaller feeding device, maybe like an eye dropper or something?? I didn't know what to use at first, so I went searching in the baby's room and found a medicine dropper, and it's working for now but the end of it is still too big for his little mouth! I'm feeling great, thanks for asking! :) Feeling more and more pregnant everyday, haven't gotten sick yet, so I'm thankful there! :) I'm so anxious for my next u/s to get here already!!! The little possum is taking my mind off of it though! :) That's great that little Jake's kidney will heal itself, and if not, can be corrected once he is born and is a very easy procedure!

Guesito- Hey, I'm right there with ya!! Let's get some more BFP's on that list!! :) I know you must be so nervous about your upcoming FET, just wondering what will happen and if everything will work out! But you just have to believe that it will, and leave it in God's hands. I know that's hard to do sometimes, but it's the easiest way to deal with things! We're all hoping this all works out for you! :)

mrspace- Sorry about all the frustration you're going through with kya! I'm sure Rolly will be fine. If she's not taking care of him, and if he's not getting enough food, just bottle feed him. It's simple to do, trust me! I'm doing it to a freakin' possum!! LOL :)

Mommyin10- That's so funny about the bird! At least dh was home to take care of it for you! :) Keep us posted on when your consultation is with your doc! I'm anxious for you to start the injections, but like stacey said, relax this time around and then next cycle will be the cycle! :) I agree that this BFP was a sign sent to you that you CAN get pregnant , and that you WILL get pregnant again! It was definately a sign of hope and reassurance! :)

Hey girls, guess what! I'm 6 weeks today! Yay!! :) (According to my tracker anyways! :) I forgot to ask my RE how far along for sure I am and get a for sure due date, but that's ok! ;) I'll ask at the next u/s once we see everything is really OK! :)

mommyin09- Yea, she said in 3 days. So Friday should be it. I just took an OPK, negative. I am not really too optimistic about this cycle. It would be fantastic if we did get preggo. I am already focusing on my IVF cycle. I had a voicemail today (could answer, I was teaching) from the IVF clinic manager. She said I was on the list for the class on the 12th. They are also sending me paperwork that needs to be complete for the meeting.

guesito- I agree, we need some more BFPs!

dnikki- How are you feeling? Anything?

[GUESITO]

Im kind of excited but scared of getting my hopes up. I guess my issue is not getting pregnant but staying pregnant. As my FET gets closer I just wonder what's going to happen this time and get a little anxious but i'm ok. It will be what it will be. Can't change destiny.

Ok Girls.... Let's get pumped and add some more BFP'S to the list... Who's next???

Good morning!  I forgot to tell you yesterday...  I woke up peacefully with my little Carmelo snuggled next to me & then heard a rustling noise to my side, on the floor.  So, I opened my eyes & just then, a bird flew over my head, hit the far wall & flew back to the window!  He was stuck between the window and the curtain & feathers were everywhere!  Huck, our cat, was watching very attentively...  OMG!  He's  brought me a live rat before, no kidding!  But I so did not expect this!  Haha! :)  Luckily dh was still home getting ready for work.  He let the bird go & Huck was NOT happy ;(  Hopefully he'll learn to keep his "friends" outside...

Stacey:  I'm glad you're doing so well! Little Jake will be just fine ;)  You are both in my prayers :)  I bet his kidney will correct itself, but if not, you're right.  The medical world is just so amazing nowadays.  He will be in great hands once he greets the outside world & will be just a perfect little boy!!!  You're right.  Everything does happen for a reason & I believe that we got our BFP to let us know it is possible & to stay positive & keep trying ;)  I know it will happen & I just feel so motivated now ;)

jmh2005: Halfway there!  How do you feel? :)

Candie:  How are you doing with all your b/w? You're getting pretty close to O, aren't you?  I hope it's a romantic, O weekend for you ;)

rachjas:  How are you?  Your doc thought you'd O by tomorrow; right?  Are you using opks or just relaxing a bit this cycle?  Best wishes!  Let's hope your good-sided follie caught up :)

Keyan: I just realized your last Lupron shot is Monday!!!  That's exciting :)  It means you're just that much closer to your lap & continuing your journey ;)  I hope you're having a more relaxing day...

Guesito:  Wow, less than 2 weeks to go!  I can imagine how excited you are ;)  We'll all be praying for you!!!

mrspace:  I'm sorry you've got your hands full!  I'm sure there's a solution out there.  Just be patient (I know it's hard).  Hang in there, little Rolly! ;)

[mrspace24]

Good morning everyone.  I am exhausted yet again.  Kya is on my last nerve and I'm honestly at a loss for what to do now.  I wrote a journal entry about what happened.  Any advice would be great.  The short version is this:

Kya made a mess.  Then tore off paneling and drug it over on top of Rolly.  He was squished between two heavy pieces of paneling.  We took him in the house, weren't going to take him back. She freaked out.  Tore up part of another wall, more of the door, etc.  Dh took him back to her.  He's fine this morning.  But I don't think he's going to make it.  She neglects him half the time.  I just don't know what to do.  The journal explains more.  

mommyin10- Thanks for the picture comments.  I'm excited to hear how your next appointment goes.  

luvkayln- I'm glad the little guy is doing okay.  Keep me  updated!!!  How are you feeling?

stacey- I am praying that Jake's kidney resolves itself but I'm glad that even if it doesn't, it's a routine proceedure and he'll be fine.  You are truly blessed. I can't wait til that little guy is here!
