Calling All Women 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.

Sorry I've been away so long...  Everything's going well here.  Ricky had a few more bleeding incidents, but we've got it under control.  He has surgery scheduled for next Friday, the 23rd.  They'll try to remove the hemangioma on his neck since it's in such a difficult spot.  Everything touches it.  They can't tell how deep it is, so we'll see how it goes.  They'll also inject the hemangioma on his cheek with steroids & do a scope to make sure there isn't one below his vocal cord.  That's only a concern because of his raspy voice & because he has other hemangiomas, but the x ray showed no large masses & the first scope showed a floppy epiglottis, which is another reason why his voice could be raspy.  So, he may just have a cute, raspy voice with no issues ;-)  His surgery will surely be a stressful time for me, but I know it's what's best for him.  Ava started to roll over this past weekend & when I laid him down in his crib, he did the same!  I'm like, how do you know it's time to try that?!  Haha =)  But everything he does, I have to stop him from hurting his neck and re-opening the wound.  When he rolls, I have to make sure he doesn't roll to that side.  He's also favoring the other side of his head, so his neck isn't so stable anymore.  The doc said he may need physical therapy after the surgery...  So, it's for the best.  My sister is in town (at my mom's in the desert) and we planned to go out to visit she & her four kids.  Well, now it's not such a great idea because we don't want Ricky getting sick before his surgery.  It'll be so sad not to see my sister and nieces.  They live out of state & haven't met the babies yet...  We'll see what happens..  I hope you're all doing well!!!

Any news from SammyJ?

BfromtheD:  I'm so sorry you're having to go through so much stress! ;( I will be thinking of you & praying for a beautiful little sac in your uterus where it should be on Monday!!!  I hope you can celebrate your anniversary.  I know you won't be able to relax...  Thinking of you!!!

Guesito:  Your retrieval is on my babies' 5-month birthday! =)  Your follies sound great & you only need one good one =)  Take care & best wishes!!!

Keyan:  Sorry about AF & not seeing the doc before your vacation.  I hope you had a wonderful birthday & you are leaving Friday!!!  So excited for you =)  You'll have a great time!

Luvkayln:  Just a few more days til your first u/s!  So excited =)

ad_06:  I hope you're feeling well!  Take care & update us asap so we can welcome little Conner =)

Good morning! :)

Guesito- Yayy, congrats on your transfer!! I agree, your BFP will be here shortly! I'm so excited for you!! I'm glad you're resting and getting spoiled! ;) Snuggle in tight little embies!!! :)

Mommyin10- I've been thinking of Ricky! What a tough little guy to go through a surgery already! How's he been doing? RE: your question about possibly ovulating later.... I thought about that, but if my sac measured 6w, 4d last Tuesday then that would have put my O date at June 18th, which it had to have been either the 15th-18th since that's the only time we had sex. I would definately be thinking I ovulated later, but why would my sac measure that and be correct w/ the 18th, ya know? Either way, we'll find out tomorrow. Still no spotting or cramping, still feeling completely normally pregnant! I'm looking at it like this... what's God's will, will be! I hope everything is fine, but He knows best, so I'm not argueing! ;)

Hi ladies,
2 perfect blasts where transfered @10am this morning. Dr was concerned about triplets  so he suggested only 2 and we agreed. The other 2 are almost at blastocyst stage they will notify us tomm if they tolerate freezing. Everything went perfect, Dr was so confident about a bfp it just put a big smile in my face and brought tears to my eyes when the they gave us a us with the embryos in place and also a picture of the embryos from the lab at blast stage. We even got the dish where they where fertilized.... ;( Beta in 9 days 8/3....off to continue resting . Thank you all!!

Guesito:  5-day Transfer on Sunday!!!
**************************************************************************************

Thank you all for thinking of my little boy & praying for him!!!  I'm so grateful.  His surgery was a success & he is now home with us where he should be =)  They were able to remove the hemangioma from his neck, inject the one on his cheek with steroids & thankfully, the scope proved that nothing was growing internally.  We're so happy to be home after a looooong day!  He last ate at 11:00 last night.  Luckily he slept through the night, woke up at 7:00 a.m.  My parents showed up at 7:20 to watch Ava for the day & so he was distracted & happy ;)  We had to check in at the hospital at 8:30 for his 10:30 appt & because the surgeon was delayed in another surgery, he didn't go in til 11:45... and he never cried!!!  We couldn't believe how unbelievably good he was, even though he was sooo hungry.  We're home & resting tonight, counting our blessings once again ;)  Thanks again for all your sweet support!

Guesito:  I'll be thinking of you on Sunday!!!  I had a 5-day transfer, too.  My RE would do them when the embriologist's report was excellent & there were more than (I believe) 5 or 6 eggs retrieved.  If they make it to blast stage, that is awesome!  I stayed in bed the day of my transfer & the next day just watching movies.  The third day, I went to work, but it was a very quiet day & I stayed pretty low-key that day (Friday) through the weekend.  Drink lots of water and rest.  Best wishes to you & let us know how many you decide to transfer!  Remember, anything can happen!!!  I transferred one & have my beautiful twins...  Good luck!

luvkayln:  I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday!  Do you think maybe you O'd a few days after you last bd'd & that's what's throwing off your timing?  I have a very good feeling everything will be okay & you'll see a beautiful hb on Tues!  You do have the sweetest angel of all watching out for you ;-)  Take care and stay positive!

sbumblebeeo:  Shelby is truly beautiful! =)  Sorry I didn't check out your new pics on here.  I will do so!
