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.

All, especially mommyin10 & luvkayln-

So here's what happened...the appointment went....GREAT!  I am now 12w 1d again!  I got my 5 days back.  The little peapod caought up.  I told my doctor "I told you I knew when we did it".  He just laughed and promised that he had never doubted me.  So she got off to a slow start...but I'm not an early person either so it's just fine.  He said I am out of the danger zone and don't have to worry so much about m/c at all.  We saw the baby during the NT scan and it was moving all around.  She even stretched completely out so we could see her legs and feet and she put her hand right up to the u/s thingy and we could count all 5 fingers.  It was sooo neat.  At resting the HB was 142 then when she moved around it jumped to 154.  It was so neat.  I am so happy and much more relaxed now.  I am starting to feel like I AM going to have a baby this time.  DH said when we left that now I have the mommy glow.  :)   I am soooo going shopping and buying something...anything but now that 12 weeks is up we can shop right?

Oh and he said that we'll talk about preterm labor later and I'll probably be monitored more closly in the 8th month b/c of my uterus.  But he says not to worry we'll be ready for it.  I bet this one is going to be really little.  I was little at birth and I was 2 weeks late.  If she comes early...tiny baby.  We'll see.  Oh and I'll most likely present in breech position and have a c-section but I don't care.  I just laid there and cried when I saw it move about. It was so great!!


Sorry so long

Okay, so here's my plan...I'm going to go to the OB's office on Monday morning (I don't have an appt.) and ask to speak with one of the docs for a few moments. I will then tell him about when I was p/g with DS that when I had the full scan done, they had found a potential problem on his brain and I had to go back 6wks later for a re-scan to see if it had resolved (thankfully it had.). And also tell them to please order this scan so I can relax a little more with this pregnancy. IF they still won't do it, then I'll have a letter typed up for them to sign stating they refused this scan on such and such date and they are responsible for any potential problems not found earlier in the pregnancy. Then I'll find a new OB! So there is my plan...What do you all think? I'm thinking it's more the receptionist/nurses that are giving me such a hard time b/c I know they are not relaying this info to the doc. Anyways, if all goes well then I will still be having my scan on Monday since I didn't cancel my appt. Pray that I get this!!! Gotta get some breakfast then get ready for work - I'll try to check in later!!!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

mommyin10- Well, I tried to get his family to come over tonight for cake and ice cream as a surprise for him but they won't.  Then I tried to plan it for Monday night at our house, but they won't.  Because "they are the parent's so cake and ice cream HAS to be at their house".  It's annoying.  But for now, I'm going to take him out to a fancy restaurant for lunch, then when he gets home I'm going to give him a massage and a quick supper.  I'm also making him a birthday cupcake.  Tomorrow we're having a big party/BBQ for him at my parents house, so I'm making cake there instead of tonight.  Hopefully he'll enjoy the day :)  I don't have a set appointment for next week yet.  The DR wants me to wait to see if AF starts on its own first.  So it'll probably be the end of next week.

luvkayln- I am hoping that AF will start on its own too,  but we'll have to see.  I'm cd32 today so we'll just have to see.  The TTC break is going really well for us.  Only 10 or 11 weeks left... wow time is just flying.  It's hard to believe how fast it all goes.  I can't wait to see little Addy though.  

Well, I will write more later.  I'm off to DH's birthday lunch!

mrspace:  Happy B-day to dh! =)  What did you decide to do?

luvkayln:  Yay ;)  I knew you two would be just fine, but I know it su cks to feel the way you did.  Are you working this weekend?  Any big plans?  Yes, my day off was great =)  I got my haircut & ran a few errands & then just relaxed with the pup.  As far as the quilt goes, I only did two pieces so far.  One is two hearts and inside one, it says Two Beautifully Beating Hearts.  In the other, it says August 15, 2009 (the date we saw two heartbeats).  The other one is a short poem.  I'm planning to have them all be memorable to events re: our pregnancy, so it should be fun :)  Have a great weekend!

dnikki:  Ugh!  That su cks ;(  Let us know if you follow up today & if you'll be able to go on Monday or not.  Maybe you could ask to speak to your doctor?  Good luck!

sbumblebeeo:  I'm sorry you're so worried, but I think that's normal, especially considering what you've been through...  I bet your fears will be lifted very quickly when you see your little one :)  I can't wait to hear all about it!  I'm so sorry to hear about dh's grandma.
