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.

mommyin10-  I was thinking about you yesterday.  I took some time off of work.  We always get our birthday off and since that was yesterday I took it off and tried to clean a little and rest a lot.  I'm glad your appointments is going so well.  I am very excited for you.

luvkayln-  You too are doing so well.  I am so very happy for you.  I can't wait to see the 3d u/s.  I wonder if my doctor does those...I'll have to ask.

dnikki- I requested you as a friend so I can see your belly.  I see you only gained 1 pound so you can't be too big...can you?  Oh I can't wait to see!!  Hope you are well.

I am still sick but it does seem to be a little bit better.  I'm still taking the Zofran but only once a day.  I just suffer through the rest of the day.  We are officially 10 weeks today!  So now I have a really petty and dumb question but it's made me curious soooo...anyone know when the end of the first trimester is?  I know it's 12 weeks so does that mean I only have 2 more weeks or do I have to finish the 12th week which means I really have 3 more weeks of being sick?  

Anyone heard from mrspace?

Mommyin10- Awww, please post your pics! :( Mine wasn't great either! I'm glad everything went well today for you though! :) We did the same thing, opted not to do the genetic testing and did the anatomy scan instead. It's cool because you get every single little thing measured on the baby! My u/s was like 40 minutes, yours will probably be almost 2 hours since you have 2 in there! Especially if they're being very active! Hopefully you have a patient tech or doctor doing the u/s! Haha! ;) I'm so excited to find out what you're having!! It's cool to know it'll for sure be 2 girls or 2 boys! Hopefully at your next u/s you'll be able to hear their heartbeats! :) Hope you enjoyed your half day today! Do you think you'll eventually be able to cut your hours back some at work? I know you have a little ways to go before you have to worry about that... I decided, unless Addy decides to come early on her own, that my last day will be the day before Thanksgiving, that way I'll still get paid up until the end of December (Vacation pay, woo hoo! :). And that won't be too much time off before she gets here, but I'll definately enjoy the relaxation time for a week or so. :)

dnikki:  I'm glad to hear you had a good time at the wedding =)  I'll have to check out your pics!

luvkayln:  Addy's new pic is great!  It sounds like you had a good appt with lots of info :)  

My appt went well, too.  My pics didn't turn out as good, though, so I may not post them.  The u/s itself was great.  They are now situated one on top of the other, like they're in bunk beds ;)  They're both moving around a lot!  I saw leg buds this time, which was so cool!  I'm going back on 9/25 for another u/s and to listen for the h/b.  I'm glad we're waiting 'cause I made the next appt so that dh could go with me.  Then she'll see me one month after that, but I'll make my appt for an anatomy scan two weeks after the 25th, so I'll still be seeing someone every two weeks.  That's a big relief! =)  I opted not to do the genetic testing and to do the anatomy scan instead.  They'll be able to see if there are any indicators that I should be concerned about & we'll also probably be able to find out their sex as well!  I'm excited, especially now that dh is planning to start on their room! =)

My appointment this morning went great! :) We got a lot of info and even a suprise u/s! From now on, I'll see the specialist and my regular OB every 3 weeks. I'll get an u/s to measure her growth, the fluid amount around her and also check the blood flow through the cord. So my next appointment is on 9/29, after that  I will have another appointment 3 weeks after that and then I get to start going once a week for non-stress tests and u/s's! My doctor said I'll definately be induced by 37 weeks, but if for some reason I start having contractions on my own after 34 weeks then she won't stop my labor. She said baby's after 34 weeks do great, but she may have to go to the nicu for a little bit. I don't see myself going into labor that early, so I'm not worried about it anyways. :) We decided to postpone my 3-d u/s until I'm closer to 30 weeks. My doctor said it's best to wait until then because you can see exactly what they will look like! She said I can do it in 2 weeks at 26 weeks if I want, but 30 weeks will be funner b/c she'll have fat on her face and you can see their hair, etc. Plus, she's not breech anymore! She's down in the right position already with her face to my back, so it was really hard to get face shots of her today. We got a couple, but I only uploaded 1 because they're basically the same. :) It's not a very good pic b/c she wasn't cooperating, but that's ok. :) Oh and she weighs 1lb, 10 oz already! My doctor said she was big for her age, but I did eat a lot this month and my weight gain proved it! Haha! Oh well, :) ... Well, I hope everyone had a great day! :)

Mommyin10- Can't wait to see u/s pics from today! :)
