CALLINGL WOMEN OF STRENGTH!!!

[dnikki0928]

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.

Guesito: 25wks!!! How are you feeling? It's such an accompishment and an amazement thinkin what our bodies can do and knowing there is a life in there isn't it?!

Stacey: Glad to hear from you! Jake is getting big! Our DS is tall and slim lol, he's 4 and 32lbs!! But all the boys in my family are like that :-) I don't blame you being a little hesitant about #2. Just enjoy the ride you guys (and Honey) are having with little Jake :-)

trh: Are you 32 or 33wks? I don't have a calender by me so I guess :-/ How are feeling? Getting anxious yet? You are getting close!!


Sooo busy here! We had Christmas and of course some last minute shopping, then our wedding anniversary yesterday and today is DH's birthday....so December is hectic! He all had an awesome Christmas and a great start into the new year. I hope all of you experienced the same. May 2011 bring everyone health and happiness!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

U/S pics posted... Baby got big cheeks!!

[trh0819]

Yes, almost there. 17 days to go, if we can make it that far. Had a little scare at my 35 week appointment and have been put on partial bed rest at home. Just taking every precaution now to ensure baby stays put for as long as possible.  I'll be 37 weeks and full term on Monday so we should be good to go. Just watching baby's weight at this point.

[GUESITO]

OB appt went great!! Baby has huge cheeks, weighs 4pnds 3 onz already at only 30 weeks. Bp & Sugar were great!!! so happy!!! 8 more weeks til c section!!!!

[luvkayln]

Hi ladies! :) I had my 11 week apmt yesterday, and everything went great! We didn't get an u/s :( , but we got to hear the baby's hb which was 174! It was funny b/c we were literally there for 5 minutes waiting, and in the room for 5 minutes! She came in and asked if I was having any problems/concerns and I said no, she listened to the hb, and then said... Ok, see ya in 4 weeks! I was thinking... Hhmm... probably could've skipped this apmt and done this all at home! Haha! (Since we have our own doppler). Next apmt is 2/24, and they'll do the second trimester screening then. I had the chance to do the first trimester screening (for down syndrome, etc) but I always opt out of that one. We get to find out the sex on Mar. 31st, which'll be the apmt after next, and I'm sooo anxious for that! :)

Dnikki- Haha, so BOY ya think? :) That sounds wonderful to me!!! ;) OMG, Peyton's b-day is here already??! Her cake sounds adorable! I bet ds will be ok with it all! He'll probably be distracted by all the other kids being there. Have you talked to him about it, telling him this is her day but his will be here soon? Aagh, the jealousy stage must be fun for mom and dad! ;)

Rachjas- Congrats!!!!! So happy for you guys!!! :)

Bfromthed- Good luck sweetie, fingers crossed!!!! SSBD!*

Guesito- Wow, 120 guests!!? Sounds like you'll never have to shopping ever... EVER! Haha!! I'm glad your levels are under control, and hopefully you'll get good news today at your apmt that they still are. 30 weeks, congrats!! You're almost there!!! ;)

K ladies, gotta run! Running behind for work! I'll check in later, hope everyone has a great weekend!!!! :)

[GUESITO]

Im doing better Sugar & BP under control for now. OB appt tommorow so we shall see. Think I have a growth U/S tomm hopefully I can see my lil girl again. I'm so excited 30 weeks on Monday unbelieveable. Im getting a little bigger everyone keeps telling me that im small for almost 8 months but Dr. says its perfectly fine so im not concerned specially since I had a tummy tuck 3 Yrs ago so it was really really flat and its just pulling really hard to stretch to point of being painful but No complaints! Feel so blessed and hoping time flies by to finally see our little girl, As far as the baby shower, we had to postpone it to Feb 19 Since we already have 120 rsvp's Yes 120!!!  and the hall we had originally rented only had a capacity of 80 and had to find another with 150 capacity.... SSBD to all.

Sooo, since we have so many BFP's, here are my guesses ;-)

Krichar: Girl
Luvkayln: Boy
Rachjas: Girl

These are just my thoughts lol, it's always fun to guess!!!
I've been keeping up with everyone, just not much time to update everyone.

Rachjas:  I am soooo happy for you guys!!! Do you have any u/s pics posted? How are you feeling?

Guesito: How are you doing? You are getting closer!

trh: Girl, you are almost there!! How are you hanging in there? Feeling okay?

AFM: Well I am going back to my RE on Monday for a surgical consult. I am so tired of having daily pain and headaches or migraines (mainly from birth control since they started up bad again around 8 months ago...). It's just exhausting. So he'll refer me to a surgeon so I can finally get a hysterectomy done. I am fed up with my current GYN. She just doesn't listen or give me the time of day. She literally told me that she feels that in order to control my pain, "We just have to find the right medication"...Um no! I don't want to be medicated for the rest of my life!! Okay, so there's my rant lol! I'll let you guys know what my RE says on Monday. Thankfully I've kept a pain journal since before Christmas. I'll hand it to him and let him read what he wants...

On another note, we have Peyton's 1st birthday party on Sunday!!! I'm making her a butterfly cake and a bunch of cupcakes since so many people will be there :-) It's going to be so cute! Oh, and she is walking everywhere now!! It's so dang cute b/c she's just her own little person lol. I'm hoping we don't really have any issues with DS since it's not his birthday and he's not really getting anything. I did get little bags for all the kids and him and my mom also picked him up something, but still...Hoping he does okay!

Anyways....! I hope you ladies are all doing well!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)
