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.

little sis :) Have a great day & know we're all thinking of you :)  

[Keyan]

YES yes yes!!! today is the day!! that really sweet and nice to go see her before you go to the hospital!! I am sorry you didn't get the sleep you wanted, but that's what people say, is the way nature prepares you for what is to come! Dh and I prayed for you at church and we are really excited for you, Sean and Kayln!! and just after 6pm we will be thinking of you!! Is possible that she can come today, or maybe just after midnight? I am not sure if you said you are starting the induction today or early morning....either way she is on her way!! YAY!! ...I am always insiting on the belly pics!! I truely enjoy seeing your belly grow and I am the type of person that beleive that a woman looks the prettiest when she is pregnant!! ....and yes you did tell my O was coming up....I will miss you stalcking (sp?) on my chart...but I know Mommyin10 is on for it!! thanks for the note...we are making sure we are enjoying our O day!! ;o)

Dnikki: your comment made me laugh!! trust me when I say I am covered!! he he !! I don't usually log in on weekends because I am always out, but this weekend we just when to buy some stuff saturday morning and then we came home and just hang...and same today, except for church! BTW, that's great you get the discounts!

Rachjas: I am really happy this are moving fast for you and your transfer is just a few days away!! I am hoping we both get our christmas present!! a sticky BFP!!

Mommyin10: I am not sure, I have to ck again, but today is when I am cd18! so far my chart is looking good....today is O for me!! YAY! the lines were ok, but I think I rather see the happy face! Do you have any news about Dh dad? Hope he is doing better!

[jmh2005]

Good luck luvkayln!! Can't wait to see pictures!!!

[luvkayln]

TODAY'S THE DAY! TODAY'S THE DAY! TODAY'S THE DAY! YIPPPEEEEE!!! ;)

I uploaded a new pic from yesterday. It's not the best! I had a horrible headache, but I wanted to get that last belly bump pic up!! :)

So I'm pretty sure we're all set to go! Yayy!! I'm working on a load of laundry now and the dishes need to be done. Other than that, we're all packed and ready for 6pm!! I think we'll leave home around 5:00 since it's a 30 minute drive and just arrive a little early. We have a babysitter staying here until we get back, and it's funny b/c I left them a very detailed note on how to take care of all my babies here at home. :) I will miss them, but I know they'll be well taken care of! :) I slept ok last night. I figured either I wouldn't sleep well at all, or get the best night's sleep but I didn't get either! lol ;) I went to be at 8:30 (I tried to stay up for the fight's mommyin10 but only got to watch Marcus's fight! :) and woke up at 3:00 and didn't fall back asleep until 5:00. I started to get really anxious for tonight, which I still am of course but now it's just a waiting game! :) I'm so excited ladies!! I've been waiting for this day for a looonnng time, and it seems so surreal that I'm actually going to be taking a baby home with me in a few days! Yayyyyyy!!! :) We're going to see Kayln before we leave too, just to let her know we love her and we know she'll be with us and will be watching over her baby sister, mommy and daddy! :)

Mommyin10- Thanks a million in advance for keeping me updated on the thread over the next few days! :)

Ad_06- Thanks sweetie! :)

Leighanne- Thank you!!! :) How fun you've gotten Jaedyn so much fun things! :) I can't wait for next Christmas when Addy is a year old! That's gonna be SO much fun!! :)

Ok, I'll probably check in right before we leave and say my good-bye's! I hope everyone has had a nice, relaxing weekend!! :) I'm gonna go try and relax now since I probably won't sleep at all tonight! :)

[ad_06]

Jmh - I am sorry you have to deal with someone like that. My brothers wife was like that with me when we were like best friends....then after she had her 3 girls, she would have enough nerve to tell me that I was jealous of her because I couldn't have kids! Then things she did just kept getting worse, like laughing  when I had my 1st m/c. Then that is where it ended. I learned that she was a very cold person. Needless to say I haven't spoken to her in 5 years. I don't need someone in my life like that. Noone knows what we go through unless they have experienced it theirselves. Just keep your chin up and know that we are here for ya!!

Luvkayln - Awww....I think about you alot, but I will be thinking about you even more over then next few days... I can't wait to see pics of baby Addy!!!

Well ladies, I am doing pretty good. Just can''t wait for this next u/s. Come on Thursday! Right now I have a really bad sore throat. I wish it'd go away! I will be checking in later. Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

luvkayln- he is growing fast.  he will be 10 months old next Tuesday.  he has 5 teeth.  he is starting to pull himself up onto things.  he is so much fun.  we  already started shopping, we totally stood outside  toys r us from 9pm thanksgiving night til midnight when they opened.  it was chilly and wet but worth it.  he is going to love all the toys we got him.  I agree all of the women on this thread are great and we are all lucky to have one another.

Well good luck if we dont get to write to each other again til after addys born.
