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.

DH's G-ma update...they are giving her a stress test on her heart today to see if she can with stand the surgery.  If she doesn't pass than they refuse to do it b/c they say she'll die on the table but if they don't do it then they only give her 2-4 weeks b/c her hip is starting to fill with fluid which will settle in her lungs that are partial.  Why do people think it's ok to smoke their entire lives?  Don't they know what it costs them?  If she had a normal set of lungs then her heart would be stronger and she could have the surgery.  She has been soo druged up that she barely moves.  When she wakes up she screams "My leg, my leg" then sleeps again.  She cries in her sleep in pain.  You can see the tears.  It truly is very sad.  I don't think she knew we were there until the end.  She opened her eyes, looked at her husband, said "I love you honey" and just laid there.  G-pa told her we were there and getting ready to go.  For the first time she turned her head and smiled the biggest smile.  Larry just told her "I love you G" and she fell back asleep.  He is going up to Cleveland again today.  It's so hard on him.  He is very close to her.  When we left her room he just dropped to his knees and held my waist and said "you are all I have and this baby is all that makes me smile".  I bawled.  I wish I could help him but he has to work through this on his own.  I don't know what I want for Gram.  She is in so much pain and believing that she'll ever be normal is just a fairytale.  I love her enough to want her to go.  Larry asked me if God was going to take his G and give him a girl in her place.  I just said I don't know.  :(  We'll see what happens...

To my girls with appointments coming up...I am so excited for you and can't wait for updates.  I am going to try and upload my u/s pics today!!!  My next appointment is 10/19/09 and then the 3D anatomy scan.

sbumblebeeo:  I'm so sorry about dh's grandma ;(  I know it's a really tough situation.  Seeing your loved ones in so much pain is heartwrenching...  You & your dh are in my thoughts and prayers.  Take care of each other.

dnikki:  I hope you can go ahead with your anatomy scan.  Let us know what happens!

[dnikki0928]

sbumblebeeo: I'm glad your last appt. went well!! Isn't it so exciting seeing your little snuggler in there? =) I'm sorry about DH's Grandma - please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers...

Mommyin10: Your next appt. is coming up soon!!! YAY!!

UPDATE: I went in to the office this morning and the nurses were a little surprised to see me lol. I just told them that I needed to speak with the doc about my RX (vitamins, apparently Walgreens doesn't carry my kind anymore...) and also about a test. So the had me talk to a nurse first who got a little iffy with me but I ended up seeing the doc anyways. He was very nice and understanding and I told him my concerns and my history with my pregnancy with DH (which apparently I didn't tell them at my initial consult...) but he agreed to order the test and it's at 2:30 today!!! Wooo-Hooo!!! Also, I found out that my quad screen results came back normal which is a relief to us also :-) Soooooo, now I'm happy lol!
Everything else here is good so I will update when I get back! Also, DH took some belly pics for me yesterday so I'll post those also later today...

Hugs, Love, and SSBD to all :-)

[mommyin10]

That's awesome news about your quad screen results =)  And YAY that you have your anatomy scan today!!!  I can't wait to hear all about it & to see pics! Enjoy =)

[sbumblebeeo]

Yay!  I'm excited for you.  Can't wait for the next post.  I'm glad your doctor was understanding.  I have the same issues.  The nurses are a pain but the doctor..always wonderful.  I swear that some woman just act like it's no big deal and we shouldn't worry.  The receptionist acts like I am trying to contact the president when I call.  They need to take a message for the nurse who takes a message for the doctor who might let the nurse call me back.  Talk about over kill.  Oh well as long as we are persistant we get what we want.


P.S  I posted the u/s pictures from Friday.

[mrspace24]

I have to make this quick because it's a VERY busy Monday.   AF started this morning on her own which is awesome/terrible all at once. I feel all over the place hormonally, but it's okay.  I go to the doctor tomorrow.  DH's birthday was great.  Now we're just getting back into the swing of things for the week.  Hope you all are doing great!  I'll update later.

[Kaylee_Frye]

Hi guys!  I am sorry I spent so much time away.  Life has been a blur between BH and hospital runs, now sleep deprived.  

I wanted you all to know that Hayden Elizabeth arrived early, but happy and healthy on September 12th.  She was 6lb 12 oz and 19.5 inches long.  I've posted pictures.  We are completely in love with her, though we're very tired these days.

God is so good!  I am so very grateful for a this blessing!  You guys were with me the whole way through.  Thanks so much for your support and friendship.

Sending baby dust your way... :)

[dnikki0928]

Just a quick update - I'm feeling very tired tonight...
Scan went great - u/s tech told us we have a "wild child" lol! She was in there kicking and punching and rolling! She even gave us a thumbs up lol!! She seemed to be measuring right along, but we won't know anything for sure until our next appt. which is on 10/12.  It was also confirmed she is still a she - so now that we've had 2 u/s and both said a girl, we are pretty safe right?! My one friend and I are going shopping for our babies (she is 10wks ahead of me this time, and with DS she was 10wks behind me lol) so I obviously want to start getting girly clothes... I'll check in in the morning and post pics tomorrow - I didn't sleep great last night and it's catching up on me now...
Thanks Ladies!!!

[luvkayln]

kaylee_frye- Congrats on your baby girl!! I'm so happy for you! :) Can't wait to see pics of her!

Dnikki- Yay, still a girl! :) I would definately say you can start shopping for girl stuff if 2 u/s have determined it! ;) That's so funny about you and your friend and how you have each had your turns being 10 weeks behind/ahead! What is she having? Go get some rest, and be sure and let us know when your pics are posted! Can't wait to see her! :) Also, that's what I did all day yesterday... slept! I was so tired from all the work I've been doing, I guess it just caught up to me and then Addy had her days/nights mixed up! lol I woke up last night and just layed there for a minute and had to go pee SO bad! And then I realized that little miss Addy was having a play day in there! lol :)

Mrspace- Yay, congrats on AF starting on her own!! That's great improvement, right?! :) I know it ***** to see her, but great that your body is starting to get back to normal and even improve by starting on your own! :) Let us know how your doctor's appointment goes tomorrow! Hope your day wasn't too busy, and glad to hear dh's birthday went well! :)

sbumblebeeo: Gosh, I just feel so bad! :( It's definately hard when someone so close to you is going through something so horrible! We'll definately be praying that she passes her stress test and is strong enough to have the surgery! I know your dh is so proud to have such a wonderul, supportive wife like you in his life! You all are definately in my prayers!

Mommyin10- Thanks for the note! :) I did work a lot this weekend, but took a lot of breaks. :) I ended up sleeping all day yesterday, which  honestly was very, very nice! My body definately needed it! I'm off tomorrow because I'm working Saturday, but only for a few hours. Isn't it crazy to think that after my next appointment in a week, I'll go back in 3 weeks and then go every week until she's born!? I think it'll seem like it's going by SO fast near the end b/c of the every week thing, ya know? I can't wait! :) We'll start our stress tests too not at my next appointment but the one after, so that'll be interesting. Oh, and I'll also get my 3-d u/s that day too! That's gonna be a long visit b/c I'll see my regular doctor, then go upstairs to the specialist for my u/s to do her measurements and check the cord, then have my 3-d u/s, then do my non-stress test and then go back downstairs to go over all the results with my docotor! Geez... I'm tired just thinking about it! lol :) But it'll be cool to have a complete " Addy" day! ;) How are you feeling? That's crazy you're almost in your 2nd trimester, yay!!! :) Moving right along! ;)

Candie- Check in soon! We miss you! Still wondering what the heck is going on with your cycle?!!! :)

[ad_06]

Just checking in. I can't believe how the time has flown with all the BFP'ers....it just seems like yesterday you ladies found out!!

As for me, nothing has really changed. I go for my 6 month pap tomorrow. Hopefully everything turns out okay...so I can start having them annually instead of every 6 months. We'll see.

AF has been coming every 32 days so by my calculations I should be able to go to the RE around the 1st or 2nd :) I can't wait! I have been so depressed just thinking about all this all the time. I can really say I can see where people are coming from when they are depressed. I don't know to talk to my OB/GYN about it tomorrow and see if meds would help, or if just getting back in the game trying will? What do you ladies think??

Well I'll let you ladies go, just thought I would check in. Good luck with all the upcoming appointments!!!

Congrats Kaylee!!

[mommyin10]

sbumblebeeo:  Yay!  I'll check out your new pics =)

mrspace:  I can understand how AF is great & sad at the same time...  It is good she showed on her own, though.  Will you see the doc this week, then?  Take care!!!

Kaylee:  OMG!  What a wonderful suprise =)  Congrats!!!  I can't wait to see her pics!  If we have daughters, one will have Elizabeth as a middle name as well ;)  Congrats again & ENJOY your little angel!!! =)

dnikki:  How exciting! =)  I can't wait the latest pics of your Wild Child!  Haha =)

luvkayln:  That's great you have tomorrow off =)  Do you have any plans?  Wow, I can't believe you'll be going every week before long.  It's just amazing how fast this is going!  That'll be a busy, but fun day with all your tests and doc visits!  I can't wait to see Addy's 3-D pics!!! =)  I know, just a few days to go and I'm into my second trimester! Woo-Hoo =)

ad_06:  I'm sure we can all totally relate!  I personally feel that once you have a gameplan, you'll feel better.  You'll have a plan & a goal, you know?  It's hard enough that ttc is really out of your control, but when you can't even try, I can imagine it's more difficult.  Definitely talk to your ob.  It's better to get things off your chest & let them know how you're feeling.  Oct. 1st is so soon!!!  Come on, AF! =)  Take care!

[sbumblebeeo]

All~
  So it goes to show that doctors are really only guessing what they believe to be true.  Gram had her stress test yesterday and passed!  They told us she would have surgery and that b/c of the injury it would take about 3 hours.  Well 1.5 hours later the surgeon came out and said she "isn't ready to go" she came through surgery with flying colors!  She should remain at the hospital for the rest of this week and then to the nursing home where they can start her rehab.  We laughed and told that doctor "we told you she was one tough bird".  Things will still be touch and go she is in bad health BUT she is still with us kicking and screaming (sometimes literally).  DH was so happy last night.  Then his son called and wanted to know how his brother was doing.  You could see the happiness on Larry's face all nice.  He chased me through the house like a teenager.  :)  I'm so happy for him.  It must have been your prayers!  THANK YOU ALL!!!

[dnikki0928]

sbumblebeeo: YAY! I'm so happy to hear she made through her test and then surgery!! I bet you and DH are just over the moon right now :-) Keep us updated on how she's doing!

Mommyin10: I tell you, she was a wild child all last night lol!! We were just watching T.V (season premiere of House!!) and she was just rolling and kicking up a storm! She's already started a little bit since I've eaten breakfast =) I love it though! Have you felt any little flutters and such with your 2 little ones? Sometimes it just feels like gas until you realize you don't have to pass gas lol!

Luvkayln: We are def. going shopping on Thursday! Outlet mall here we come!!! lol! We think it's hilarious about us being 10wks apart again - she's having another boy (her 2nd) so sh'e really happy we are having a girl-she wants to buy girl clothes lol :-) And you my dear need to slow down a little bit with work! I know Wed. are my days to re-coup after working 2-10 on Tuesdays, but I only end up taking a few hour nap. Although you are farther along than I am. I think in Dec. I'm going to cut my hours down by 6hrs a week and then the second wk of Jan I will go on leave. I will be 35 wks then. I had DS at 37wks. Little Peyton is sitting very low - my pelvis is already spreading and it hurts deep inside my pelvis. And (maybe tmi) but if I look in the mirror while in my underwear, you can see how much she is protruding from just over my pelvic bone!

Kaylee: CONGRATS!!! Let us know when you post any pics :-) Keep in touch!!!

AFM: I'm finally starting to relax with this pregnancy! Since the scan I have felt much better! I don't know if I told you guys about shopping last wkend with my mom, but she bought some girlie outfits and also bought the new infant bathtub for me. I finished up on getting bottles (which were buy one get one free AND I had a coupon for 15%off!!!), got my breastpump, the little sleep inverter thing for infants, pacifier holder, and a couple of other things I can't remember off the top of my head. So I just need to get 2 new baby monitors (DS's is going to cr ap) and then baby clothes. We are just using the crib set from DS since it's gender neutral (Old fashioned Winnie the Pooh) and I'm going to take the border into to Lowe's and have them match paint to the pastel pink color in the border :-) But we can't start on that until DS's room is done upstairs and he moves...HOPEFULLY will be sometime in November! Okay, going to work on posting some pics, I will also post some from our canoe trip we took on Sunday :-)

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

dnikki:  Yes, I've felt "gas-like" flutters, but (sorry for tmi), for the past months, I've felt like a helium balloon, just full of gas!  I hope to feel them moving soon, though! =)  Sounds like you got a lot of shopping done & more to come!  That's great =)  I'll go check out your pics!

looloo:  Good luck at your appt today!!!

[sbumblebeeo]

Hmmm....so my nurse called and said I no longer have to do the progestrone suppositories twice a day any more.  I am so excited about that but she said the doctor will talk to me at my next appointment about starting weekly injections around 28 weeks to prevent preterm labor.  I guess the medical field has mixed emotions about whether or not it works but my docor is a believer so I bet we start them at 28 weeks.  UGH!  More drama.  Nothing about my pregnancy is going to be easy.  Not that I'm complaining.  I know how worth it, it will all be when I have my little Dominic in my arms.  :)  I can't wait.

[mrspace24]

Hey everyone. Just another quick update again today. I had my doctor's appointment today. My left ovary has shrunk so much!  It's still big but SO much better.  It's back to my "normal".  My ovaries are always a little big because of my cysts.  But it's doing well.  So I was cleared for exercise and all that.  I have to watch my AF closely now.  If it doesn't stop by day 10, I have to go back in to stop it.  The doctor wants us to start TTC soon, but I am pretty firm in my decision to wait for a while.  At least for another month.   I'd like to wait until the new year, but we're taking it month by month.  But for now, things are looking fine.  I just want to focus on me right now.  Just working on my emotional well-being.  

*** side note*** I am watching the Prince of Egypt (the cartoon dreamworks movie).  I forgot how good it was

[luvkayln]

sbumblebeeo: Great news about dh's grandma!!! :) I think our prayers mixed along with her being "one tough bird" really brought her through!!! ;) How awesome! Just goes to show that doc's don't know everything! That's also exciting that you don't have to be on your progesterone anymore! My doc never cleared me to stop taking mine, I just stopped on my own but my progesterone was always at great levels and I never took it with my other 2 pregnancies, so I felt it was ok! Your weekly injections shouldn't be so bad, I know it's another thing you may have to worry about but if it's going to help prevent preterm labor, it's worth it! :)

Dnikki- You'll both have a great time on Thursday shopping! :) I still have to "look" for things to buy Adalynn, but it's so addictive and I always find things I think she just HAS to have! lol ;) That's cool she's having another boy, but will be able to  buy girl things for you too! :) So you've for sure decided on Peyten then? I think that's such a cute name! I think if we have another girl after this one (I know, slow down right?! Let's just get Addy here first! lol :) I really like the name Brooklyn! All my baby's names are starting to end in "n" it seems! :) We are hoping for a boy too, but we'll take what God gives us! I know, I do need to take it easy. I'm really starting to get more and more tired, and it seems so early for that but I am almost 27 weeks so I guess that's normal?! I took a 3 hour nap today and loved it! :) I'll be sure and check out your pics now!

Mommyin10- LOOK!! I'm on the top of the BFP list, yayyy!!! :) Never thought I would see that day, now I just have to pray that Miss Addy and I safely make it to the baby arrival list! I'm really starting to freak out daily that something is going to  happen to her... I honestly can't help it, ya know? Thank goodness for this heart monitor! I do have days where I really feel that everything is going to be ok, then other days I just worry, worry, worry! :( And when I do, I just pray for God to give me peace and His reassurance, and then I usually feel better! :) Adalynn's also not as active as Kayln was. Sometimes she'll move all day, and the next she doesn't, so I think that just adds to my nervousness, ya know? But I guess every baby is different. I can't wait for you to start feeling your little ones move! Dnikki is completely right, it'll feel like gas at first and then you'll realize it wasn't gas afterall when you "know" what the flutters and kicks really feel like as they get bigger! :) I didn't do much today, cleaned a little and took a nap! How was your day? :)

Mrspace- Glad to hear your appointment went well, and yay that your ovary is back to normal! :) You'll know when it's right to start ttc again, and you never know, with your cycles starting to regulate on their own you may just get pregnant when you least expect it! :) Usually when you're not so stressed over ttc, that's when it happens! :)

Ad_06- I completely agree with Mommyin10! It's definately ok to feel that way, but I think once you have a game plan and get back in the game, you'll feel SO much better! October 1st will be here so quickly, and then you can start trying again, yayyy!!! :) I do think you should tell your OB how you're feeling as well. Maybe it'll help take some stress away until you're able to fully try again? And you know we're always here too if you want to talk, but you know that! :)

Looloo- How'd your appointment go today? Did you get an u/s?? We have a "girl" trend going, so anxious to see what you're having! Update soon! :)

[mommyin10]

sbumblebeeo:  That's great you get to stop your progesterone :)  I didn't do suppositories this time.  I did the injections, but mine were every day for approx 6 weeks.  I would have gladly continued just to reassure myself, but my RE said I was ready to stop :)  I know you'll do whatever is necessary to stop pre-term labor & really, having done them, once a week will be a piece of cake =)

luvkayln:  I know!  This morning when I moved Kaylee up, I though WOW, there you are!!! =) I can totally understand where you're coming from & it makes sense that the closer you get, the more nervous you may get.  I can't even imagine how difficult that must be, but thank God for your monitor & I'm sure He's listening to each & every prayer =)  Addy is in great hands!  Very soon, you'll be at the bottom of the arrival list =)  
I kept thinking I wanted to buy "something" for the babies, but I wanted it gender neutral & I'd have to get two, so I've been looking & looking and I finally found something!  I bought two stuffed animals.  One is a green elephant.  The head is a rattle and the body is a soft blanket.  The other is a brown monkey, also with a head that's a rattle & body is a blanket.  They're so cute!  I set them on our dresser so we can see them every day ;) I can't wait til I feel them & really know that I'm feeling them!

mrspace:  That's smart to wait it out, but it's also great that your doc is giving you the go-ahead to ttc again.  So, the ball is in your court & when you're ready, we'll be here cheering you on! =)

[sbumblebeeo]

I understand 100% of you feel and why you are so nervous.  I guess we all are to a degree and I won't tell you not to worry b/c I know you will anyways.  It just means you are going to be a great mom in my book.  Try to remember one thing though.  This time your doctor knows what to expect and is taking extra precaustions with you.  That means they'll be prepared for anything.  I truly believe you are going to hold your perfect daughter in no time and you'll make mommyin10's list for sure.  Keep you head and your feet up  :) Get some REST!

dnikki:  Happy 19 Weeks =)

[kmcarino]

I just wanted to update that my IUI is tomorrow morning so please wish us luck:)  My estrogen level yesterday was 1818 which I was happy with and I have many food follicles.  This was a good cycle.  The only thing I am concerned with is that I was only took 10 doses of Gonal and I do better when I am on the stims for longer like 12 or 13 days but we couldn't go longer this time because the follicle sizes were all at a good size.  I am excited to be in the tww but I am sure I will hate it when it's here.

sbumblebeeo: Thanks for the photo comments! You will be there before you know it! You're already 12 wks! It is a hard wait to find out what you're having but it will be here soon! How nice you can stop the progesterone! I was happy when I didn't have to take mine anymore. How's DH's Grandma?

Mommyin10: Thank You!! I can't believe I'm basically 1/2 way there...It has flown for me! Now I just need to get motivation to DH so he finishes the upstairs lol. I'm tempted to hire someone to do the plumbing for the upstairs bathroom or at least finish the drywall and paint! It's going to be even harder now though b/c opening day of deer season is this coming Saturday...

Kmcarino: Good Luck tomorrow!! It sounds as though you responded well to 10 days of stims! Let us know how it goes!

Luvkayln: Shopping tomorrow lol!!!! I tell ya, from working 2-10 last night and I was almost completely booked, I was exhausted! I took at 2hr nap this morning lol! But this is my lazy, re-couping day =) I cannot believe you are 26 wks already! Just 10 more and little Addy will be here! They are still doing a c-section at 36wks right? I understand why you're worried at times...I would most def. be too! But you are in great care and they understand you and are watching you and Addy very closely :-) Have a good day!

Mrspace: Glad to hear your ovary shrunk!! I would take whatever time off you feel you and DH need :-)
