F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

[Sayuri]

Morning Ladies!

I am off work today so relaxing in bed hopefully ALL DAY. I have some bible verses that I really love that I would like to share with you, hopefully can all give us hope as we go throught the journey of conception, and pregnancy.

Be strong and couragous, do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you, he will never leave you or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6


So do not fear,for I am with you, do not be dismayed for I am your GOD, I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous hand. Isaiah 41:10

@willynilly those symtoms sound good! I remember I couldn't sleep I was really restless! I am usually someone who sleeps like a log but I really couldnt get any rest it was so weird!

Hi girlies!
Well I got my new blackberry yesterday so spent most of the day setting it up for b nb!
Is so much better now! I take prenatals but always take them first thing so I don't forget so they always make me feel abit sick until I eat!
I an trying not to symptom spot as not many and feel a bit dissappointed but just going to enjoy tonight, I am driving so no wild one for me but will be doing lots of praying!
Had a good chat with dh last night and he is so sweet telling me that nature (read God!) Will let it happen when it is meant to and to stop being my usual impatient self! Hee hee!
Well tonight it a fancy dress party at our pub and you have to dress as something beginning with T so am going as a 'trolley dolly' as it is quite easy!
Anyhoo, hope you all have a fab night and let 2010 be a year of BFP's!!!
Love and hugs,
Aster xxx

Aster -that's so cute! Trolley Dolly! I am so excited to inherit my dh's blackberry this year so I can have bnb at my fingertips too! that might be a disaster, though - I'll NEVER get anything done. and I'm with you on not wanting to be too hopeful on symptoms. my temp rose...holy moly!!! - to 98.5 degrees this am - 2/10's higher than it has ever been. I am so hopeful now. but at the same time trying not to be.

Sayuri - thx very much for the verses...the first one is a longtime fave of mine - so good to be reminded of it. yeah, I hope my symptoms mean something - I keep praying a simple prayer "Please God - let this be. I am ready, Lord."

 

[Willynilly]

So excited for tonight. DH and I are doing New Year's alone as we did xmas alone! We really really "heart" each other.haha.

so, for tonight - we have planned (get ready to hear a nasty menu...)
1)White Castle burgers
2)Mozz sticks
3)Pigs in a blanket
4)Chocolate Lava cakes from Trader Joes (if you've never had - plz buy TODAY)
5)Champagne -just a wee glass for me
6)Scrabble tournament
7)prob watch a movie too

we are such nerds. food and scrabble and you've got us at the best new year party ever!

have a wonderful night everyone! See you next year. who am I kidding - I'll prob see you all in a few hours.

 

[Aster]

How awesome willynilly that sounds amazing! (What time can I come over!? Ha haha!)
I have everything crossed for you, I hope more than myself that this is your BFP! Come on willy bean!!! Hehehe that sounds so funny!
DH has just told me that he thinks he may have a tummy bug as he has been sick so that should put a bit of a dampner on tonight!
Lol xxx

 

[im_mi]

aww willy that sounds like an amazing night in! youve given me some ideas! left to our own devices, DH and I would probably just sit and watch TV all night haha. I think we'll get a funny movie, or play monopoly or something and yay for a high temp! your chart looks amazing!

oh no, aster, i hope he feels better. men are such babies

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hi all! WillyNilly that is great that your temp went up! I think this is your month, how exciting!!!

My DH and I live near casinos, so we are going to go there to eat and play some slots for the new year. Maybe we will get lucky. It sounds like you all are going to have a fun time as well.

As for my cycle, i believe that I "o'd" either monday/tuesday because I had those O pains, so my ticker is a bit off. I think we covered all bases this time, so who knows, only God does! I know some people say dont get your hopes up but I heard a preacher on TV say,"Get your hopes up, and put all your eggs in one basket". He said that God has our back, so yes my hopes are up that I will get a BFP on January 17!!!

Sidenote: Would you allow your young child ages 0-5 to be in the delivery room with you? Im watching "Birth Day" and this lady has her 3 yr old in there while she is delivering and he is telling her to stop screaming. I think he is scared. What do you think? For me, the answer is no. Even though my daughter will be near 10 yrs old, she will not be in the delivery room with me. As a matter of fact, I only want me and dh in the room. Just a thought.

 

[somedaymama]

mrskcbrown--I've seen that too and I think it would be too traumatic for them. Maybe they could be in there right after the baby is born but I wouldn't want them in there for hardcore labor. I saw one once where the lady was having a water birth and and while she was laboring the little girl sat in the tub with her, blood and all. That was weird.

 

[Willynilly]

Aster - I would love to have you over...come on down. btw ...what IS a Trolley Dolly? A girl dressed up all cute who rides a trolley? I love the name whatever it is! Hope dh feels better. and you just officially coined the term "WillyBean" for me. Thank you!!!

Mrskc - you are so right about being hopeful. That is such a great way to put it - to put your eggs all in one basket. I always try to build myself "down" so I'm not too disappointed. but why should I doubt God? "My hope is in you." and it is...so I should act that way. There. I am very hopeful for my BFP this month.

and about children in the room. yikes! no way for me. Someday - in the water?! holy bejewels. no way elway (an old football reference). um, it'll just be me and dh. would love my bf there but she's so far away. wish my mom was a more caring/loving person - then I would def want her there. but we are certainly not close like that. my grandma would absolutely pass out! - since she's from the days of "twilight" births and can't understand us new-fangled women with our natural birth stuff.

Immi - thx for stalking my chart. yeah, I'm excited - best it has ever looked. Today DH said - "wow,you are almost up to a normal temp!" he still doesn't understand AM BBT's and thinks my temps in the high 96s at times means I am knocking on death's door or the therm is wrong. Anyway, how are you doing Immi? Glad our plans inspired you for tonight. And I thought I was constipated before - heaven knows what will happen after I eat all this gobbledegook.

 

[Guppy051708]

Willynilly, your chart looks triphasic so far!

 

[Aster]

Oo go willybean go!! I love it!!! Am so excited for you honey!!
A 'trolley dolly' is a slang term for an air hostess not sure if it is just a british thing but is oviously because they push a trolley! Anyhoo I didn't get to go after all as hubby is actually really poorly (as an ex nurse it takes a lot for him to get any sympathy!!!) So I am having a quiet night in with my furry babies and half a tub of ben and jerrys caramel chew chew, so naughty!
Going to have a lovely relaxing bath later and just have a girlie night with my beads! Sad I know but it sounds pretty great to me!

Mrskc - I am definately of the opinion that the labour room, pool or whatever is not the place for small children. It is very hard for them to fully understand what is going on and can be distressing. I did a rotation in a maternity hospital and we wouldn't allow kids in there, if any complications occur it is extremely distressing for the partner let alone a small child. The less people that staff have to work around the better!

Guppy! How you feeling sweet?

Immi - sending you loads of hugs honey, still loving your name,it is definately in my top 3! :wink:

Xxx

 

[Guppy051708]

Hi girls! :wave:

I have been feeling great! No MS yet, Praise the Lord!!!!! i feel so blessed not getting it yet.
The DH keeps telling me that my lower abdomen is getting firm...i didn't believe him so he decided to prove me wrong by taking pics of my "belly bulge" while laying on the couch (they are in my journal if you want to see them)

Ive been in deep thought and prayer. Today is makeing me rather anxious, as this is the day during my last pregnancy that the bean stopped growing (6+3, MCed at 8+3). So im a bit nervous. Last time i remember my symptoms stopping right about now, but this time i hardly have any noticeable ones, so i dont really know what to think.

I believe with all my heart this baby will be a sticky, but i am anxious to get through the next 2 weeks.

I know i havn't been posting much but i've def. been keeping with you girls and i just wanted you ladies to know that ive been praying daily for you. You girls are each so strong and wonderful in your own ways, and i am glad to call you friend!

Happy New Years

Ladies I can't miss my fireworks. I'm a firework fan. I love them! Don't matter the sound they make when they blast in the air. I just love them. I had a bad nosebleed today.

Wow it's 5pm all ready and it's getting dark. So i'm off.

Guppy how are you hun?

I hope everybody is doing good.

Rdy2-How are you hun? You know i can't forget about you, even though you don't come on as much(your busy).

 

[Willynilly]

Guppy - agh! Thank you for saying the "T" word!!! that just makes me even more excited!!! Don't worry, Guppy - you and BabyGupps are gonna be fine...I know it. Am praying for everything to keep going smoothly for you. It will.

Aster - oh my goodness!!! That is hilarious! I have never heard that before...my hubby is an airline pilot so I am rushing to go tell him this - I know he will laugh so hard. and he will also start calling all of his flight attendants that. they will hate him for sure!

your night sounds awesome! ice cream and a bath?! wow - so great. I can't wait til we put in my xmas present -new bathroom - b/c our tub is so indescribably gross - you wouldn't possibly set your tush onto it! When we moved it - and I took my first shower in it, I cried when I stepped in. But then DH took a razor blade and scraped years of "sick goo" off all the surfaces and made it manageable. Anyway, it's our last room left to makeover. i digress. have a wonderful bath!

Rdy - we miss you. hoping everything is going great for you dearie.

Dipar - nosebleed?! well, if we both get our bfp's and have nosebleeds then I think it's a definite symptom. then again, I told my Aunt, and she said - it's prob the heat and dry air. hmm.

k - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Willy,

I hope in pray it's a definite symptom. But these recent years i don't get a lot of nosebleeds. But today it hit me hard, out of no where.

 

[Guppy051708]

Girls ive had 4-6 nose bleeds since conceiving!
So, naturally, i did some research and they are actually a very common pregnancy symptom because of the increase blood volume in the body.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Congrats and how exciting to hear about nosebleeds being a symptom LOL! I hope this is it for you all!

I read that as well Guppy. Because today it just started..I'm like wow..Maybe I shouldn't of came out and share my nosebleeding experince lool. I'm trying to to read into stuff, but sometimes it's hard to ignore.

 

[somedaymama]

willynilly, sounds like you are having quite a food party! we are having...
- pigs in a blanket (with smart dogs and vegan pizza crust, hehehe) --we haven't tried this before, but I read your "menu" this morning and it sounded good.
- hummus and pitas with veggies
- sparkling grape juice ~ I don't drink

Other than that...I don't know what we're doing. I couldn't find a good movie to watch so we'll probably finish rearranging our living room and watch some TV.

Guppy, I'm glad to hear you haven't had any MS yet! Praying hard for you.

Aster, your plans sound lovely.

Happy New Year everyone!!
