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.

Luvkayln: I can't believe you'll be induced TOMORROW!!! :-) How do you feel & how was your birthday?

Keyan: Woo-Hoo!!!! I'm so happy to see you got your +opk!!! That's awesome :-) Keep up the bd'ing & I'll stalk your chart while luvkayln's away ;-) We had fun getting our shower/party organized & tgen registering, but we were at babies r us for 4 hours!!! They should really have chairs along the way for pregnant moms to be! I was exhausted & my feet are still killing me. I've been putting off a pedicure for too long. I think today's the day :-) Thanks for the comment re: my baby name :) Congrats again!!!

jmh2005: Wow, what a piece of work, huh?! I have to agree w/Keyan. Sometimes boasting about possessions is a person's way to try and one up you if you have a great relationship & they don't... She obviously doesn't know the struggle of ttc & hopefully she doesn't, but she'll need to learn a little compassion before becoming a mommy ;-)
kmcarino: OMG! I'm SO happy to hear your news!!! A beautiful, healthy son :-) Your ds will be so happy, too! Congrats to you & your family!!!!
pyar: You're so welcome ;) Hang in there!

[Keyan]

Jmh2005: that is one crazy and frustrated woman! I am really sorry she is jealous of you, I say that, because is the only thing that comes to my mind, when people act and say such stupid comments like that, is because they wish they have what you have, and the only way they know to deal with that, is trying to put us down...I am really sorry, most of us here, unfortunately, can relate, in my case the worst so far is when I had the m/c my MIL said something really ******, but to her own son!, she didn't really want to hurt him, she just didn't and still doesn't understand what is to have fertility issues and we let it go, not because is not worth trying to make her understand, but because we really think, that unless someone has gone thru a similar situation, you won't really understand how we feel...so as hard as it can be, try to ignore her, and don't worry for venting, we are here for you! and you are SO right, you will be blessed with a baby!! keep up the postive attitude!

an update on me....I got my +opk!! today ...yay!!

Luvkayln: Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow!! OMG she is almost here!! I am so emotional about it, I can't even imagine how you most feel right now!! tomorrow at church you will be present in my thoughts and prayers!! Be sure to post your last day of pregnant belly!! OH!! and keep rubbing your belly for me!! lol ;o)

[jmh2005]

Dnikki - Thank you! I am actually pretty relaxing this time around. Hoping this will be our time soon.

Keyan - Thank you as awell! Good luck getting ur +opk!

luvkayln - Thank you for ur continued support. I can't wait to see pictures of your little one!

mommyin10 - VERY short break...my story below will explain more


So here is the skinny on why for a while now I have been sort of MIA. My sister in law makes me want to cringe sometimes. Her husband currently works with her mothers husband. (confusing I know girlies but try and follow me here lol) They are working out of town right now on the pipeline business. She has gone to school for animal science and has her degree and all that happy stuff. However, she chooses to work at a bank. This girl is in over $80,000 in debt because of school. She decides the other day to tell me that she bought a brand new jeep. She REALLY enjoys rubbing things in my face. However, I have a 2007 sebring and my husband has a 2006 ford truck. Its not even about that. On tuesday she and I went to the coach store because I got my mother in law a coach purse for christmas and she wanted to pick out a wallet and what not. She THEN proceeds to tel me that she quit her job because she can't take her husband being out of town. Shes like everyone is just jealous I have to work and blah blah blah. Im thinking EXCUSE ME! THen she has the nerve to tell me well I just went off of birth control so I should be pregnant very soon. I was like are you sure you want to do that if your so upset he is out of town and how would she even know if she will see him enough to try and get pregnant. She goes well your just bitter because you had 4 miscarriages and I wont have those problems. OMG!! grrr what a bit#$. Are you kidding me?! Did that just happen?! I was so livid. Who does she think who she is? I am no less of a woman than she is and GOD WILL bless us with a baby somehow. I just know it in my heart and I will NOT give up!


Wooo sorry girls, just had to get that off my chest!

[Keyan]

Luvkayln: Happy Birth Day!! My wish you for you is to have many more birthdays where you are able to enjoy your family, your children and your DH! sorry I am a little late ;o(

Kmcarino: Thank God! great news!

Dnikki: I too was thinking of you and Dh when you were talking about the snow....I actually was cking out your pics (after we met) and I remember seeing the one with the snow and the dogs and ds and remember our conversation ;o) ....hey I forget to ask, how about that guy, did he contacted dh about the $$? ....that sounds really scary and I will be praying you continue on with a healthy pregnancy, atleast you are able to cut off working hours and are being monitor every other week!

Mommyin10: I think if the names mean so much to you, then go for it, it sounds good. Hope you have fun doing the register!!

Jmh2005: welcome back! Hopefully this is the cycle you need!

Pyar: I am sorry things are going well with DH, TTC is different to everyone and sometimes guys don't really know how to or just don't want to express what they are feeling...and it is sad to feel like you are the only one going thru the hard part and the struggle...but like Luvkayln said, trying going out and not talk about ttc, that's what dh and I do.

Ad_06: like the other girls said, everything will be fine...I wish the do would have given you more info, but is probably just a little early!!

Rachjas: how was your appt today? your lining? hope everythings is right on track!

well I am still waiting for my +opk, I am starting to get annoyed with the tests...but my CM is good and today in the afternoon I got O type of cramps/pain, a little stronger than what I would like, I still have some pain, but as long as that eggs gets out, I am happy. LUVKAYLN, please rub your belly for me, your last 3 days!!
