Calling All 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.

Good Morning!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and weekend :-)

Mommyin10: How are you doing/feeling? How is DH's dad? DH got more moulding put up over the past week and DS's bathroom is now done and functional lol. I just have to get the border up in it. DS has his 3yr checkup tomorrow morning and darned if I didn't forget about it when I made my OB appt. DH will take him in the morning but I wish I could be there :-( At least he doesn't have to get any shots! Hope all is well!!

Keyan: I hope you had a great Christmas!!! You are on vacation now right? How are you feeling?

Mrspace: How are things your way? Haven't heard anything from you in awhile... Hope things are good your way!

Ad: It seems like your pregnancy is flying by already!!! I know mine has! Get as much rest as you can - it's soooo easy to get wore out in the 1st and 3rd trimester. When is your next appt?

Well I think I can say I officially have a cold....GRRR!!! My throat was really scratchy last night and I kept having to cough - didn't get any better throughout the night and I slept like cr ap. Now I have a combination of runny/stuffy nose, sore throat and cough. At least I don't have a fever! I am supposed to work tonight....yuck lol! I'm hoping with the snow and such we have going on here people will cancel their appts.
I see the OB tomorrow which is good in case this cold thing hasn't let up. I will be asking him to take me off work. I got to thinking I can safely have her in just over 3wks....I have NOTHING READY!!! The crib isn't up, DS's clothes aren't moved upstairs yet (they will be moved through the next day or so...), nothing of Peyton's is washed yet and all that! I'm really have that nesting urge but we can't get the crib up until the bed downstairs is moved upstairs to the spare bedroom/office... Hopefully this week! Also, my pelvis is cracking and popping at every little move - even when I cough it cracks. It doesn't feel too swell lol! Well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and weekend! I'll check in throughout the day....

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[rachjas0623]

dnikki- I hope your OB lets you off of work. It sounds like you need the time and relaxation!

ad- I am glad that everything is go so smoothly and fast!

mommyin10- It really sounds like DH is taking great care of you!

AFM- AF showed the days before Xmas Eve. I was able to get into my RE Xmas Eve morning. My appointment was fine. She was surprised it didn't work. She doesn't think it's the quality of my eggs. She asked about transferring the one I have left... but I voiced my concerns about that.... the first 2 week transferred we m/c and then the 2nd 2 did not implant.. again, she doesn' think it's the quality of my eggs.. But, you know what?!!? she has never checked my FSH!? Should I ask her to? She then asked about doing another IVF. We said we couldn't right now.... time off of work and of course the money issue (we are OOP). We then talked about IUI. We did get preggo w. that before. She said it's a possibility.... so that's what we are doing! She feels more comfty doing that now too since she took the bad tube out.

So, the plan for this cycle...
Still take B. Asa & Folic Acid + other daily med
Femara CD 3-7, 5mg
Cd 14 u/s
Trigger when ready
IUI
Progesterone
Start Heparin w/ BFP

Currently.... I am am CD 6 and my CD 14 u/s is 1/5. Fingers crossed that my dominant follie is on my good side!

************************************************************************************
I'm feeling great :) I'm actually looking forward to Thurs, my next appt :) It's more of a comfort thing now. I'll be packing a bag before each appt just in case I'm sent back to the hospital. Gotta be prepared! Thurs will be my 3hr glucose test & my FFN. She'll also see if I'm dilated. Last week I was dilated a fingertip, so I'm not sure how quickly or not it could progress... hopefully it hasn't ;) I've seen a few good movies. The Hangover was too funny! I also saw The Orphan & I liked it (but I love scary movies!) For those ttc, it could be a bit freaky ;) I totally didn't expect what I saw :) The babies are moving so much now! Sometimes the movement startles me! haha :) My stomach is great entertainment now, watching tge ripples & waves across it :) It's amazing!

jmh2005: How are you feeling?!? :)

Luvkayln: How was Addy's 1st Christmas?! :) I know you took lots of pics & I can't wait to see them :) Happy 3 Weeks to your little princess!

Keyan: How are you doing? I'm glad you're off for a bit. What kind of plans do you have? Did you start the diet? When will you start w/the smileys? It's getting to be that time :)

rachjas: Yay! I'm so happy to hear you have a great plan! :) so, you've just got a week to go before your iui, then. I think my fsh was checked around cd3. I can't remember for sure. It's a good idea to check it, but don't worry about that now, unless you are faced w/another AF. You are producing eggs, which is great & here's to beautiful follies on your good side ! :) Yes, dh is being great! It's amazing how much he has to do & so far, no complaints ;)

dnikki:  I'm sorry you caught a cold ;( and I hope you do get cancellations! I can't imagine doing your job right now, even if I wasn't on bedrest! Hopefully your doc will take you off work tomorrow. Wow, 3 weeks! That puts things in perspective, huh?! Dh & I couldn't believe when we went to the hospital & were told the babies "could" come any time!!! We were expecting March, so it makes you really think how ready or not you are :) dh hasn't been able to get work done on the babies' room. He's so busy getting laundry & dishes done, grocery shopping, taking care of the pets & I and visiting with his dad, not to mention working! Poor guy ;( but he's awesome & I'm just so thankful :) His dad is doing great! He doesn't want a caregiver, gets around with a walker & his wheelchair & is happy to be home :) dh took him leftover turkey & blown up u/s pic of each baby on Sat ;)

[sbumblebeeo]

I'm so happy to see that you are stil so optimistic.  I am getting really nervous.   Have you signed up for any birthing classes or breastfeeding?  Do you know who is going to watch the babies once they get here? Oh and how about progestrone shots?  Are you doing those?  I may be having a minor meltdown.  For some reason I am feeling very overwhelmed about all these things.  And like your DH, mine hasn't had any time to work on the baby's room.  I can't wait for progress to start on it. We have A LOT of work to do!  I'm glad to see that his dad is doing better too.  I am all over the place right now.  DH's parents acted like total idiots for Christmas.  They didn't come over and they didn't bring my step son his gifts.  When DH made him call them and wish them a Merry Christmas we could hear his mom play 20 questions with him about what he was doing, was he coming over, Santa brought you stuff here, then she hangs up and says I guess I'll see ya when I see ya.  When he hung up he was bawling, ON CHRISTMAS!  Who does that to a kid????  grrr.  then we found out last night that his dad called his ex wife (steps sons mom) and asked her to bring him over.  She called us, thankfully, and asked what we wanted her to do.  We talked about it and I told DH that it isn't fair to put her in the middle and for them to get what they want by going around us to her.  They talk so badly about her but now that they want something it's ok to call and ask?  These people are SICK!  Not to mention they don't care what kind of stress this is putting on me and DH when we truly don't need it.  It's so out of control.  At this point it doesn't looklike they are going to participate in the baby shower at all.  Then when she comes do they think that they can just show up at the hospital and act like nothing is wrong?  Like that won't be stressful on me when I am in labor.  And I wonder why my emotions are all over the board.  Ok.  So I just laid a bunch on you.  I'm sorry  for that.  I wouldd really like to know about the shots though.  You can ignore the rest of my stress rambling.  Sometimes it all just comes out at once.  

Take care.  I should sent you some coloring books so you have something to do while you rest.  I love to color (lame huh)!

Thanks as always!!!

[mommyin10]

Here's my honest opinion. I think dh needs to either call his parents or go see them & voice his concerns and try to work something out. Keep yourself away from the stress. They're his parents & he needs to put his foot down. It's not up to you to "fix" it. Take care of yourself, dh, your stepson & Shelby ;)
Well, at this point, no birthing classes for me. Besides being on strict bedrest, if the babies come early they'll do a c-section. It's too much trauma for them to make the journey if they're too small. So, birthing classes wouldn't help there ;) Breastfeeding is something they'll help me with at the hospital. When I was there last week, I noticed they offer that service. My mom & MIL will take turns watching the babies after I go back to work, but we'll set that all up when we get closer to me going back. I took progesterone shots very early on, up til maybe 10 weeks, but haven't used it since. One of the docs on the 18th mentioned progesterone inserts, but the other docs I saw throughout the weekend at the hospital didn't think it was necessary. I forgot to mention it to my ob, so I'll ask her on Wed. dh has done a lot of work on the babies' room, just not since I've been home on bedrest. It's a lot of work taking care of me :) heehee He'll lay the floors in there probably this weekend :)
Wel, I'm gonna eat lunch. Hang in there & remember, no stress! :-)

[dnikki0928]

sbumblebeeo: I read your post to mommyin10 - Sorry, I hope you don't mind...but I completely agree with her. You don't need any of this added stress especially when you're trying to keep Shelby in there as long as possible. DH's parents should understand your guys' point and be respectful enough to respect you all...Sooo, how 'bout that snow lol?!

Mommyin10: Thanks for the note!! I called work and asked for one of the LMT's numbers to see if she would cover for me...She declined but with our weather here I completely understand. But my boss (the good one lol) called me back and said he moved my appt. over and told me not to come in. This cold has kicked my rear! I get into coughing fits especially when I talk or when I'm trying to fall asleep. DH is going to stop at Walgreens and ask the pharmacist what is safe for me to take and bring it home :-) The OB's office did say cough drops are safe so that'll help some.
As for possibly having Peyton in 3wks, yeah talk about a dose of perspective lol! I talked to my SIL today and she said my MIL is planning on coming out tomorrow (news to me!) and staining more and putting up the moulding in the spare room. It's great that she wants to do that but...she did staining on Saturday when I was at work and when I came home the whole house reaked of stain/polyurithane (sp?). She didn't open up any windows!! I can deal with the doors not being stained until spring when it can be done outside lol ;-) I'm def. starting to nest though lol! I'm glad you're getting well taken care of by DH - sounds like he is very understanding and helpful :-)

[sbumblebeeo]

mommyin10-  I'm glad one of us has it together.  I am most likely going to have a c section to so I'm thinking that the birthing classes are a waste of time but DH wants to do it and I want him to be really involved.  He wasn't allowed to do anything with his son, his ex was very controlling over everything.  He never even got to feed him!  Oh well that just means this is new to both of us.  :)

dnikki & mommyin10-  DH's parents don't care about the stress they are putting on us.  They  don't even take the high risk or pre term labor seriously in my opinion.  They're very dismissive and just say everything will be fine.  One day I told his dad I didn't want to talk about DH's ex b/c I always get upset and it literally keeps me up at night and he said "so your telling me you're a head case".  I just said "yeah I guess so" then he proceeded to tell  me that DH wasn't a doctor and that stress wouldn't do anything to us.  He's such a jerk.  Part of me hopes they stay mad and stay away from us but I know that hurts my husband.  His family is very small and what he does have acts like this.  I hate it.  I have been so depressed about it today.  I'll get over it in a few days... I always do.  Thanks for your thoughts though.

dnikki- As for this snow...YUK!  We had 8 inches when I woke up and it's been snowing lightly all day.  I live right on the lake and its steadily blowing off. It's so pretty though and since I'm off work I don't really mind too much.  How much did you guys get?

[jmh2005]

Hey girls! I am feeling ok I suppose...extremely tired and fighting a cold and DH and i only got to BD once which I suppose is better than none at all. So i am not hoping for much...even though it only takes that one time lol.

mommyin10 - I agree! The hangover was my most favorite movie of all time! Hope you are doing well!

I finally watched the movie Juno yesterday. It was cute. Today I'm planning to take a shower :) That's my big goal for the day! heehee ;)

dnikki: Yuck, polyurethane smell! Your mil probly hadn't even thought about it since she was around the smell so long. That definitely needs to air out. I'm so glad you didn't have to work last night! How are you feeling & what did dh bring you for your cold? Good luck today! Hopefully your doc will take you off work :)

Jmh2005: Yes, it does only take one time ;) Will you plan to test? Feel better!

Sbumblebeeo: All the stress you're feeling is why I say dh should handle  his parents at least for now & you should concentrate on happier thoughts ;) I sure try to "have it together", but this whole ttc & pregnancy journey has been quite a learning experience, letting me know I cannot plan everything! haha ;) It's been one surprise after another.

[mommyin10]

How'd your appt go?

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: I know that smell is terrible!! And it's back again today! They cracked a couple of windows but for me it's still not enough... As for my appt. today I basically have an upper respiratory infection and he put me on the Z-pack and some good cough syrup. I can't wait to take the cough syrup tonight and get some sleep lol!! Anyways, as for the rest of the appt. it went good. Peyton's HR is really strong and I'm measuring good still. I noticed he had to go lower than usual to measure and I'm thinking she's already dropped some. AND....NO MORE WORK!!! YAY! I'm so happy about it!! How are you feeling today? Your next appt. is on our wedding anniversary :-) Hopefully it brings you good luck!

sbumblebeeo: We got probably 5-6inches maybe more but with the way the wind was blowing it's hard to tell for certain. We are supposed to get more on Thursday through the rest of the week - and now, since I'm off work I don't mind much either lol!! How are you feeling these days? Hope all is well!!

Luvkayln: Hope all is well your way and update when you can!!!

Well here's an update from my appt. today...

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

[mommyin10]

I hope your meds help & you feel better soon. Yay for no more work! Now you can stay cozy inside while it's so cold outside ;) My boy is super low! Can you feel movement down low? It kind of freaks me out when I feel him moving below my bikini line! I just look forward to making it another day & to each appt :) Aww, I hope your anniversary does bring me luck! Do you have special plans? I'm feeling good, but uncomfortable at times. It's hard being on bedrest because I'm concerned about blood clots and/or bedsores. I try to switch positions & rub my legs often.

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: I hope they help too :-) The cough and my neck hurting (feels like it's really swollen) are probably what is the worst. Yes, I can feel Peyton move very low! I can feel her turn her head from side to side and it's down past my bikini line and obviously deeper...It does feel really weird! Each day for you is always another good sign and another good thing for those babies!! As for anniversary plans - We'll go to an earlier dinner depending on how I feel and maybe have our neighbors over to celebrate New Year's Eve with us. We'll see though...As for blood clots, make sure you do ankle pumps where you are flexing your foot up and then back down contracting those muscles of the calf. Those should really help :-) Have you asked about compression stockings to help? Have a good night and I'm sure we'll talk tomorrow!!!

[mommyin10]

Where's everyone else today? haha :) Yes, they told me about the ankle flexes in the hospital & I've been doing them. In the hospital, they had wraps around my calves that were attached to a machine. They would fill with air & squeeze, then decompress. At home, I'm wearing compression socks. I feel nervous because I feel movement, budogie can I be sure it's both babies or just one, ya know? That's another reason I'm so eager for my appt Thurs. Have a good night!

[jmh2005]

mommyin10 - i am gonna wait and she if she shows and if she does I plan on planning out our next cycle much btter. The holidays have me all outta wack. How are you and the little ones doing?

How was everyones holidays?!

[sbumblebeeo]

dnikki-  I hope you start feeling better soon.  I think that is what I had too b/c I got a z pack and some cough meds for it.  It's horrible.  You cough so much you can't sleep at all.  It's been a tough winter on me for being sick but I guess we get through it some how.  I'm feeling better though.  That z pack should help you lots.  I have to go back to work next Monday and then I have an appointment the same day and will have to leave early.  HA HA.  My every two week appointments start after this one.  I can't believe how fast it's all going.  Well take care and stay warm!!!

Sorry I have not been around lately.  I just caught up with all of the posts.  I am sorry that I have been missing everything.  Yesterday we had to take my grandmother to the hospital.  She has congestive heart failure and fluid in her lungs.  My mom is away on vacation so we are in charge.  She is stable and doing ok so I am hoping I do not need to call my mom...she is in Punta Cana until Sunday.

mommyin10- I am so sorry that you have been going through so much.  I know that you and your babies will be just fine.  They will hang in there as long as they need to in order for them to be healthy.  I hope that your cervix does not change and that you do not dilate any more.  Take it easy.  I will be thinking of you and your babies.

luvkayln- I am glad Addy is doing well.  Don't worry tooo much about her weight.  My son was only 5 lbs. 3 oz. at birth and then lost some liek they all do.  We had to go in for several wight check appts.  His weight was a concern but he is just fine.  She will eat as much as she needs.  My son could only eat so much since he was so small but he ate what he needed.  If he ate too much, he threw up.  I am glad her levels have gone down. Hopefully the jaundice will go away.  My son also had that problem.  He was in the Nicu for 4 days so they took care of it there.  We only had to take him there once the day after he was released to have the levels checked and that was it.

AFM, we only have a few possible names on our list but I am not crazy about any of them.  Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.  My next ob appt. is Monday.  Unfortunately I won't have an ultrasound though.  I still get headaches and am still super hungry.  I wish I wasn't so hungry!

I hoep everyone had a merry Christmas:)  Happy New Year!

Hey ladies just thought I'd check in. I can't believe I will be 10 weeks on Friday :) I'm a 1/4 of the way there. I go for my regular OB appt on Monday....I so can't wait! There isn't alot new going on here, just that I have been having a hard time sleeping. Every night for the past week all I want to do is toss and turn. It drives me nuts! lol Like last night I was really tired from not getting much sleep the night before so I went to bed at 9pm, slept good till 11pm then the tossing and turning started. So at 2am I said to heck with it, and went to the couch thinking that would help....yeah right, I still tossed and turned. lol

I hope everyone else is doing good!!!

Mommyin10: Good luck today at your appt!!! I hope both tests are negative - keeping my fx for you! Update when you get a chance :-) Thank you for the 33wk wishes! I still can't believe I'm that far along already and that you are 26wks! So last night our drain decided to back up - We have 3 maple trees out front and the roots like to clog our drain...So today DH gets to rent a rooter thing and break them up again...I think we are going out for an anniversary lunch instead of trying to get through crowds at dinner. If we have time, we'll also go see a movie :-) I'd really like to see The Blind Side or Precious. Are you guys staying up to watch the ball drop tonight? Ha! We can't make it past 1030 anymore lol!!! Talk to you later today!!!

Ad: The time seems to be flying by! Yay for getting to go to the regular OB on Monday!!! I know you have to be sooo excited! As for the tossing and turning - I'd hate to tell you but it really doesn't get any better lol! I've had to sleep with one of those big body pillows between my knees since I was about 10wks! Maybe that will help? Have a good day :-)

sbumblebeeo: DH now has our cold :-( It doesn't seem to be affecting him as bad though which is good. After the 1st dose of the Z-pack I could feel a big difference! The cough syrup helps at night too :-) It feels like it's starting to break up in my chest though which is really good. Well, we got more snow last night and people are driving like they've never seen it before lol! They were saying how many accidents there were already this morning! We are supposed to get more today and throughout the whole weekend...Have a good day!

AFM: I'm fighting off the cold still but at least I'm functioning now lol! DH has now come down with a cough and stuffy nose though :-( DH and I are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary today :-) We'll probably go out for lunch instead of fighting crowds for dinner and if we have time maybe a movie also. We are getting more snow here and it's supposed to snow throughout the weekedn also...It looks very pretty at the moment though :-) As long as the big bed in the nursery gets moved this weekend, I will be starting that next - I have the huge nesting urge already lol! I feel like nothing is ready!I'm still trying to get pics up, but my computer is being dumb and I can't find the files I want when I click the browse button. Who knows! I hope everyone has a great New Year's and I'll check in later!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

***********************************************************************************
So, I'm fasting for my 3-hour glucose test ;( No fun when you're pregnant, I tell ya! My heartburn got so bad last night & I couldn't take a Tums. Every time I layed down, I felt like I was going to throw up. So, I sat up in bed til after 12:30 before finally falling asleep. I'm going to shower & get ready for my appt to try & take my mind off being hungry ;) I'm already looking forward to lunch :) I'll have the glucose test, as well as another fetal fibronectin exam & she'll check babies' heartbeats, u/s & see if I'm dilated. Hopefully all goes well. I should have my results this afternoon. I wish everyone a safe & Happy New Year!!! :)

luvkayln: Happy New Year! How's Addy doing? :)

Keyan: Have you started testing w/Smileys??

Jmh2005: I hope AF is staying away!!!

sbumblebeeo: Happy 27 Weeks!!! :) We're getting there !

kmcarino: I always liked the name Lucas or Luke for a boy, but dh didn't... I hear you on being super hungry! Happy 26 weeks!

ad_06: Unfortunately I have to agree w/dnikki. Getting a good night sleep only gets more difficult ;)  Time really does fly once you're pregnant :)

dnikki: Happy Anniversary! :) I hope you get to enjoy a nice lunch & movie! I think that's a great idea, rather than fighting the crowds :) I'm actually 27 weeks today! Yay, I've made it another week :) That su cks you've got drain issues. I hope dh can get it all worked out. Have a wonderful day & a Happy New Year!
