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.

Hi, Ladies!  Sorry I haven't been around.  Good suggestion, Guesito!  It was getting long =)  Please let me know if your stats are wrong & for those with BFPs, please let me know how many weeks you are & on what day of the week it changes.  Thanks =)

Guesito:  Congrats on 2 beautiful blasts being transferred!!!  It's funny, when I had one perfect blast transferred at 5 days, it was because my RE was concerned with twins!  (I'm sure you remember) My uterus is extra small, so we transferred one to avoid multiples... Well, here you are transferring 2! ;-)  I will be praying for a sticky BFP on the 3rd!  Thank you for asking about Ricky.  He is doing so good!  You'd never even know he had surgery.  He was up & smiling, laughing like normal the morning after!!!  Amazing how resilient they are!  We go in on Thursday for a follow-up.  In the meantime, we've been taking the babies for walks & letting them roll & interact on the carpet. They're growing so fast & just so darn cute =)  Rest & best wishes!!!

Luvkayln:  I will be praying for you tomorrow!  Please update asap =)  I have a good feeling for you.  I know it's stressful when there are questions.  Try to stay positive and as calm as possible.

bfromthed:  Congrats & Happy 7 Weeks =)  I'm excited for you to see your sweet, little baby on Thursday =)

rachjas:  What is baby C's name?  How are you all doing?  I can imagine you're just elated & I'm so so happy for you!!!

Krichar:  Thanks for the sweet note!!!

hey ladies just checking in:
Ad I hope things slow down and mellow out for you

Guestino I will be watching for you post


all: I am doing better today alot less pain physically but I got a appt reminder for my u/s that would have been my 10 week scan on Thursday so that made me think but I got it back together quickly. Still lots of bleeding (tmi) so my hubby is catering to my every need he has did all the laundry cooking driving and anything else that has to be done and I told him I love him so much because he too suffered a loss not just me and I reconize that. I am keeping us all in prayers as we continue to fullfill our dreams! Baby dust and sticky vibes to each and every one of us...I have a appt with my re for a follow up on Monday I will keep everyone posted :-)

Ad: I also wanted to ask you if you've tried switching postions while trying to burp him - I had to put Peyton over my shoulder, sit her up on my leg and lean her forward with one arm to burp and I've also had to lay her down across my lap! Sometimes changing the postitions will help move the air up a bit and make it easier to come out...Hope this helps you some!

Wow ladies, I have missed so much on here!

GUESITO: A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Twins is a strong possibility!! I'm sooo happy for you!!!!

Bfrom: I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm glad you haven't lost your faith in God. You are right - everything happens for a reason even if it isn't clear for a long time. ((HUGS))

Luvkayln: I'm sorry for having to go through that...I hope by now your are starting to physically feel better. How is everything else going?

Keyan: How have you been? How was your vacation?

Ad: Geesh!!! What an ordeal you have been through! As for the BM's - our ped (and others) have always said babies can go up to a week without having a BM and it be totally normal. Especially on formula. As long as it's not hard pebbles, he's not constipated. His body is probably using most of what he's taking in...What formula is he on? Peyton was very gassy and cried too and we ended up switching her to Similac Sensitive and she's still on it and does very well with it. I hope something helps soon!!

AFM: Everyone is well just extremely busy - My Grandma got very sick again and came home with hospice. So on my days off I was driving 2hrs there and 2hrs back and she passed away last Tuesday night. It comforts me knowing she is no longer in pain...Peyton is doing very well - she sits up but still like to kind of side dive lol and she's laughing more. She really interacts with her brother which is soooo cute to watch! She LOVES her little johnny jump up lol :-) Travis is doing well - potty training and all lol! Finally something clicked and he's been right on track finally! After 1 1/2 years lol! I've got to get back into the habit of him doing school work since that will start up again at the end of the month at the private daycare...DH and I are well - like I said just really busy. I swear it's been non stop since June. One of these days we can relax lol! Speaking of relax...I'm going to get off here and try to catch a couple of zzzz's while both kiddos are napping (It never happens!!!)

Have a good day everyone!

Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)

Sorry I haven't been on lately, so much has been going on! Just a quick run down. After Conner was born I asked u all about the fluid, well it got worse, so bad I couldn't walk....my Ob was out of town so I was advised to go to the ER.....well that didn't go well! The stupid ER dr thought I had blood clots, so they admitted me, the first full day of being home I spent 17 hours away from my baby! It was HORRIBLE!! Well after all that it was just fluid, the put me on fluid pills and I lost 20lbs in 2 days! I got released and everything was going great.......

The weekend came and we got my stepson, he was running a slight fever (but just had his tonsils removed) so we were told he might run a low grade fever.....everything went good over the weekend....then Monday morning rolls around and Conner is really fussy, which wasn't like him.....so I took his temp and it was 101.4!!! So I started freaking out! I called him Pediatrician and he wanted to see him. By the time I got there it was up to 102. He admitted him in the hospital since he was only 9 days old! So we spend 48 hours getting antobiotics and changed his formula (he was having atleast 10 BM a day) did cultures to make sure it was spinal menengitis sp? Thank god, it was just a virus! So I have been really picky about him now, I get all paranoid when someone wants to hold him and what not.

To top that off, his circumsion never fell all the way off....so he had to have it cut off!!!! Anything else gonna go wrong!?!

Right now things are looking better, he's been pretty fussy since they switched formula, I think it's because he is gassy...I have a really hard time getting him to burp. He had his checkup yesterday and he's up to 9lbs 4oz and 21 inches long. Conner is only having a BM once every 3 days and the Pedi said that wasn't enough.....so he told me to water down his formula a little bit...and see if that helps. So maybe once we get that going maybe the gas will let up a little bit.

Well ladies, sorry I haven't gotten to read any posts, maybe the next chance I have to get on I'll try to read through them. I hope you all are doing well!!!

guesito- That is awesome news...CONGRATS...possibly 2????? YAY!!

AFM- We came across some money we forgot about. Tied up in stocks that needed to sit for a year and guess what...The year is up so it looks like we will be going for another FET as soon as my name comes up on the list. I am hoping it is soon as they usually call day 5-10 so any day now or next cycle. I am starting to get anxious and excited...i know this has to be my turn!!!!
