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: Good luck at your appt today!!! Are you getting an u/s done?

Scripps: I'm sorry AF showed - she really su cks... I hope your new doc can give you the answers you need. ((HUGS))

Looloo: I'm glad you are starting to feel better!!!

Luvkayln: Thanks for the photo comment!! My bump is getting big lol, but with that dress on it makes it look even bigger lol. I'm hoping I can take some bump pics today. The baby's HR fluctuates usually it's in the upper 140's and has even gone to the 160's... Everyone seems to think I'm having a girl so we shall see!! I like the spelling Noelle, only because people could get mixed up thinking her middle name is NOL (pronounced like that) if it's spelled the other way.

AFM: The wedding went well, I posted pics up yesterday of DH and I. We had a great time!!! The wedding itself was beautiful!! But we are glad to be home - it was a long weekend!
I've still got whatever I came down with late Thursday - I'm not sure if it's allergies or a cold but I'm not running a fever so that's good. My head just feels so plugged up right now and I still have a cough. But baby is moving a lot more!! It's kicks are getting stronger :-) I'm still using the doppler 1-2 times a day and the HR fluctuates between the upper 140's-even 160!! Baby doesn't like the doppler wand lol - it kicks at it all the time!  I called the OB's office this morning to see if I could get in a day earlier so that ds would be at the sitters, but they couldn't, and I did ask to make sure they were going to do an u/s and she's like No, it's just a reg OB appt...I said well he told me if I wanted one he would give me one so she pulled my chart and saw that yes, indeed he will be doing and u/s...YAY!! Hopefully baby will cooperate and we will be able to see what we are having!! I'll let you know when I get new belly pics up!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

luvkayln:  Good luck today!  I'll be thinking of you & hoping your glucose test goes by quickly...  It'll be exciting counting down to your 3D u/s! =) I can't believe you'll have so few appts left!  Wow!!!  Yes, you're right.  My ob said she'd do an u/s each time 'cause otherwise she could be hearing the same h/b twice.  I guess if their heart rates are different, though, you'd be able to tell...  Well, I'm really hoping to hear their h/bs today!!!  Yes, I'll update asap afterwards.  My appt isn't til 1:45.  Are you working today?  Haha!  You know dh too well! ;)  He got most of the fence done.  There's just one side next to our neighbor's house left to do & then he'll fill the screw holes, sand & paint the front side.  So, the goal is to be completed by the end of next weekend!  It looks amazing :)  I can't wait to get started on the babies' room!!!  You're so right.  Once it's complete, we'll be finding out the sex & then I'll definitely go shopping! =)

Hannah:  How exciting that you tried on a wedding dress ;)  When's the big day!?  I think it's great that you're finding out about Dan's issue 'cause that can be reversed & maybe that's why you haven't gotten pregnant?!  Also, luvkayln is right.  The HSG test will clear your tubes & it'll also let you know if there's something to be corrected with you.  I'm happy for you that you're moving forward & that you'll be starting clomid.  Good for you!!! =)

scripps:  Sorry, I thought you meant you sent your results to your old doc & he hadn't responded...  That does su ck that your new doc wouldn't respond, but maybe it is a "French" thing?!  That's good you're looking into different docs to find all options :)

[scripps]

I enjoy keeping up with everybody, so just wanted to drop in.  I won't have any other news until I see the doctor again next Monday.  Next Tuesday, we see a third doctor, very well-known in France.  We don't particularly want to work with him since famous old doctors are too busy, but we would like his opinion on an attentive doctor for us.

We really liked the doctor we'll see again next Monday, but I'm not thrilled that he didn't respond to the fax I sent on Friday with my hcg results and the news that I still hadn't gotten my period.  Does it seem normal to you all that a doctor would wait another week for the appointment instead of making a call?  Maybe it's a French thing...

By the way, I am trying to use non-toxic, pregnancy-approved products to get my body as clean as possible.  In case anyone is interested, the Belli acne wash helped me when my skin was broken out.  Also, I like the Garden of Eve products, particularly their eye cream.

[luvkayln]

Dnikki- Just saw your new pics! I love them and your belly is getting so big! It's so cute!! :) So I realized I've been wanting to ask you and have been forgetting every time! What's the baby's heartrate been at on your doppler? I want to see if it's been close to Kayln's and Addy's so I can see if my thoughts on it being a girl are right! lol ;)

[luvkayln]

Hannah- Congrats on finally getting some answers and how cool that you'll be able to start clomid in a couple months! :) Ya know, I had one of those dye tests done and got pregnant the same month!! Because even if your tubes aren't blocked, it still clears out any "cobwebs" that could be there and it's a smooth ride for the sperm to your tubes! ;) Congrats on trying on a wedding dress today! How fun!! When's the big day, do you know yet?

Looloo- Thanks for the sweet note! :) Ya know, I have upsetting thoughts too with this pregnancy, I don't know how much of a relation it is to what you're going through, but it's hard not to think about what happened to Kayln and pray that history doesn't repeat itself. I have bad thoughts like it will happen again, like the "devil's" in my head telling me it's going to happen again, but I just put my faith in God and that's really the only way I can get it out of my head!! I'm glad you're feeling better and looking forward to the future with your baby! :)

Mommyin10- How cool that dh is getting started on the babies' room next!! Yay!! ;) And then by the time it's complete, because we know everything HAS to be perfect, ;) then it'll be close to finding out what you're having and you can start buying things! I'm excited for my 3-d scan too! We're also doing it privately, I think I have to go to the building across the street from my doctor but anyway my doctor's office sets it up for me. :) We get 2 colored copies, 4 b/w copies and a dvd also! So it's well worth it, plus it'll just be so amazing to see what she looks like! We never got the option to do it while I was pregnant with Kayln, so this'll be something special we get to do this time! :) I think I'll set that up for 2 weeks from tomorrow, and then have my regular check up with my OB 2 weeks after that, and then I'll start going every 2 weeks until she's born. Which'll really only be about 3-4 more appointments at every 2 weeks! How awesome!! :) Do you think you'll get an u/s tomorrow or do you think she'll just listen for the h/b's? Well, I guess she has to do an u/s, right? I remember you telling me that now! ;) Ok, well if she does tell you their heartrate's, be sure and let us know so we can start making estimated guesses on the sex! ;) Kayln's was always between 146-160 and so far Addy's has been 148 to 170! Usually closer to 148 though, depends on how active she's being. :) I'm going to talk to my OB about a lot of things tomorrow, have a list going but I'll be sure and talk to her about the swine flu shot as well and see what she says. Update asap after your appointment tomorrow! :)

Ok so Sean's "putting his foot down" as he says and wants to spell Adalynn's middle name Noel instead of Noelle... What do you all think?? I love Noelle, but he says the whole point of us coming up with that name is because she's due on Christmas so it should be Noel?!

[hannah1505]
