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.

Mrspace: Glad you're back and you and DH had a great time!! What all did you do/go?

Mommyin10: Thanks for the 17wks note!!! The u/s pics are so cute!! I can't wait for next week either - it's funny b/c everyone says I'm having a girl lol, I'm just not sure (obviously!). We're still stuck on boy names, but as far as the girl - I'm NOT BUDGING lol!!!

Okay, so I cannot get full!!! I can eat all day long and not feel full - and my big thing for lunch right now (and I know it's so not healthy) but it's fried bologna sandwiches! I don't add extra grease or whatever to fry it, I just put plain bologna in the pan and let it brown then have it on toast with light mayo and lettuce - Mmmmmm. I've had one the past three lunches lol! But I still feel like I'm starving!!! I'll get a healthy side to lunch  (grapes) to over-rule the bologna lol...

[mommyin10]

Welcome back!  I was thinking you might have had a vacation planned, but couldn't remember.  Where did you go?  I'm glad you had a great time!  Happy Anniversary =)

sbumblebeeo:  Happy belated B-day!!!  & Happy 10 Weeks!  Woo-Hoo =)  That's an interesting question you asked because I was thinking next week would start my second trimester, but now that I think about it, it probably is week 13 that starts it. Thanks for thinking of me ;)

luvkayln:  I'll call to schedule my anatomy scan today. I'm excited that we'll have it in approx a month :)  No, I won't cut back my hours at work, but I have a very stress-free job right now.  I'm in a courtroom that keeps me so relaxed, and I'm sitting all day, which is good, too. That's great you'll get vacation pay through the end of the year :)  I'm saving all my sick/vacation time for when the babies are born, which is great that I haven't gotten sick so far 'cause I want to take off as much time as possible when they're here.

dnikki:  Yes, I posted the pics at luvkayln's insistence! ;)  lol!  They're definitely not the quality of my RE's office, but check them out & see if you can see them hanging out in their bunk-bed position ;)  How cool that you may know your baby's sex next week!!!  I can't wait to find out if luvkayln is right! =)

Good morning everyone!  I'm so sorry for my absence.  DH and I went on our honeymoon, so I've been gone.  We just got home yesterday morning.  Today is my first day back at work since last Wednesday.  It was so much fun.  We didn't go anywhere big, but it was still great.  Dh just made it perfect.  Granted we are SO paying for it now.  He spent so much money, it's not even funny.  But we'll work around it.  I will be putting up pictures later this evening.  On top of the stress from spending so much money this weekend, we no have the phone bill from h e l l.  It turns out that my best friend switched carriers and didn't tell me.  So for 2 weeks, we talked non stop during the day (peak minutes).  So now we will have a bill due the beginning of October for 800 dollars.  Joy.  I did call the phone company and got an extension.  So that's fun.

Oh well, the weekend and all was still worth it.  I am doing pretty good myself.  We went to the doctor yesterday.  My left ovary is now down to 30mm.  Much better than what it was, but still not great.  I still have some sharp pains, but it's getting much better.  I have been keeping track of my temps, and I definitely haven't ovulated yet.  Which isn't a surprise since we aren't trying right now.  It's kind of nice to have the break.  

luvkayln, dnikki, mommyin10- I'm sorry for making you all worried.  I am doing fine though, as I said.  I can't believe how far along you all are getting.  I will be going to look at all your new photos here in just a few minutes.  Thanks for continuing to check up on me.  You guys are the sweetest!

Okay, well I have a ton of work to catch up on, so I'm going to cut this off here.

sbumblebeeo: We were typing at the same time lol! I think I've gained a little more now, but I need to weigh myself in the a.m...It's def. baby though! I did accept you as a friend so you should be able to see my pics now. The 2nd trimester officially starts when you hit 13 weeks I believe. So you don't have much longer!!! I'm glad you are down to 1 zofran a day now. Do you have any pics up? That would be funny if we recognized each other since we are both in OH lol.

[dnikki0928]

Mommyin10: You have to post pics!!! I'm glad to hear all went well yesterday though - how exciting that you'll be getting many u/s =) Thanks for the photo comment :-) Yes, our romance is still there lol even after almost 4 years lol! I don't know what I'd do without him!

Luvkayln: Addy's getting so big!! Glad to hear your doc's are on top of everything and are going to be monitoring you so closely. Probably makes a world of difference and puts your mind at ease. What did you think of the HR's I gave you? Still thinking it's a girl? We'll know next Tuesday!!

Keyan: Thanks!! We had such a great time, and it was nice to be all dressed up and just us two... Looking forward to PR in Nov!!!

In just 6 1/2 days we will know what we are having (pending baby's cooperation lol)!!! DH got to feel the baby kick last night. I had come home from work (2-10) and used my doppler and baby hates it when I use it lol. So it started kicking and I told DH to come over and see if he could feel it. So he layed his head (not the full weight obviously) on my belly and the baby went nuts kicking his head lol!! It was so cute!!
I still can't eat chicken. Tried to last night at work and it all came back up...So, apparently this one will like red meat lol - I couldn't eat ground beef when I was p/g with DS and he LOVES chicken lol.
DS is doing really well with potty training. We are basically going days at a time w/o having accidents now which is really nice! He should be all set by the time baby arrives.
I'm off today, so it's my re-couping day after working late...I'll check in later!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)
