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

[somedaymama]

I think that your birth plans sound absolutely beautiful, Im_mi. It's not something that is for everyone, but it sounds like you know how to prepare your son for it.

Praying for you and your DH. You CAN and WILL make it through this. "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6

 

[im_mi]

thank you somedaymama. we have both made big mistakes and are prepared to forgive each other but it will be like starting from scratch, and learning to trust each other again, you know? its a hard road but i'm going to walk it with God's loving support and guidance. I know God will be guiding DH too, even if he doesnt know it right now.

Hello all and happy New Year!

@Im-mi: I am praying for you and your husband! You can make it! I too have been where you have been, but you just have to pray and trust God. Sometimes its harder with a DH that isnt in the word but the bible says that he is sanctified through you, so your prayers will work! Dont think they are going to the ceiling and stopping there. Resolve to praise him through the good and the bad. He will hear your prayer!
Also your birth plan sounds great! You are right, every woman has a choice.

@Sayuri: I am fine. Just praying that we caught the eggy this time and it penetrated! This week has been so stressful trying to catch it.

@Everyone: Its almost time for teachers in Mississippi to go back to work on Monday so Im slowly trying to prepare for that! Ive had a good rest, but Im not looking forward to it as teaching for me can be stressful for me as well. So pray for me that my students are not as ridiculous as they were prior to break. Im also looking to go to a lower grade with the transfer period starts.

Enuff of my rants, baby dust to us all!

mrskcbrown, hang in there! My husband is an attentant for a special-needs kid and he goes back to work Monday too. The students at his school were going crazy before break too, hopefully they will all be better.

off topic, but does anyone know why there is big blank spaces under my message? It's like there are extra lines in my post but there aren't.

Willy-It still looks good for you hon!! Praying for BFP's all the way around!! Hope your constipation gets better too! Try taking docusate sodium or Konsyl, it should help.

Sayuri-Thanks for the well wishes! How are you doing?? Many symptoms yet? Oh. . .and when did you get your BFP? I know you were suppose to test on the 25th of Dec, but I just wanted to post it on the front page.

Don't know about the whole "vegetarian" thing. I have always felt that we were made to eat meat too. . but it's just my preference! I eat lots of veggies too. . I just need meat.

Im_mi-will keep praying for you and your DH. Hang in there dear, you two can get through this!

Mrskcbrown-I'll be praying for you and your stress of getting back into the grove with school. . I can't imagine how stressful that can be. .

somedaymama-not sure why you have a big gap. . . hmmmm. . .

I am glad everyone had a safe and fun New Years and I wish you all the best for the year to come!! Off to bed for now ladies. . g'nite!!

 

[somedaymama]

Rdy2 - you're a Texas girl, of course you have to eat meat. j/k
How are you feeling? Does this cycle feel good for you? Not too much longer until you can test!!

 

[Sayuri]

Morning ladies x Im on my way to church but thought I would read what I missed last night

Im-mi Im really gonna pray for you today at church God makes all things possible and I am sure he can turn things around hope you are ok!

@Dipar EDD is around 3rd Sepember if all goes well. I have GP visit on wednesday so they will confirm.

@Ready2bemum I hope you are ok?? I got the on 29/12/2009 (I know we write the date differently to US LOL)

@MrsKCbrown in sure this is it!

DH is snoring upstairs so im going to get ready for church, I am trying to symtom spot still just the constant peeing and sore boobs. My mum said she didnt get MS with me but did with my brother so not sure if I will start getting that. Its still early days praying EVERYDAY that 'Rice' will stick been very nervous.

Im going to get ready now but I hope you have a blessed day!

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

someday-Thanks for asking! I'm feeling just fine. . don't know if this is our month or not. I haven't really had any symptoms other than just being moody. I am really hoping that I get my BFP before my dr's appointment in January just so that I don't have to keep the appointment! If not, it's okay. I'm not really stressing about it much.

I came to the conclusion after having a really long chat with my mom, that the "reason" I haven't gotten pregnant yet is because we just aren't ready. I think it is so awesome that I serve a loving God that knows when the right time is, and if that's not now. . .then it's okay!! I honestly feel like He is waiting for us (my DH and me both) to better our relationships with Him before He blesses us with a child. So. . . that is what we are going to do! We go to church every Sunday, but we don't belong to a Sunday School class or anything so we are going to start attending one.

Well. . I'm off to get ready for another day! Hope you all have a blessed one!!

Someday - I loved your reasons for being vegetarian...I agree wholeheartedly but just can't bring myself to do it. I'm not a meat lover, necessarily, but I am a meat enjoyer now and then. However, I don't think it's healthy to eat corn fed (or whatever the heck ELSE they are fed which is prob worse) beef...def the leading cause of all of our cancers and other health issues in America...not to mention obesity due to all the hormones our meats are pumped with. I def think God put animals on this Earth for us to enjoy and consume - but we've tainted that gift by not allowing them to eat as God intended. We try to buy grass fed beef (and local too) from Whole Foods but it is not always available and pretty expensive. It is more of a special treat. I still remember the first time we ate grass fed beef...my taste buds were screaming in ecstasy! what a difference!!!

I read Fast Food Nation a few years back and became a vegetarian for about five months. I just couldn't eat any meat after reading that. But then one night at a restaurant I saw a burger coming by and I broke my fast!!! wow - I am really disciplined

Never read Skinny Bitch - I will prob hold out for a bit cuz I don't want my current feeling of meat to be tainted. heehee

well, in other news - today started off ROUGH! Another temp drop (although still above coverline) and besides that my hormones are RAGING today. last night when I went to bed I said to dh - "I'm absolutely starving." very uncharacteristic for me - I don't eat late at night...but I prob should have b/c I woke up a complete BEAR this AM. totally took it out on dh...really hurt his feelings. But I ate, regained my blood sugar levels, I suppose, apologized and all is well now. I hate hormone surges - why, God, why?

was crying to dh about my temp drop - it just really upset me
b/c I was so hoping this would be our month. I guess it still could be, though - I did get a little bit of a bloody nose again this AM - but coulda been b/c I was crying so hard. dh thinks bbt is stressing me out too much and I should stop and we should just ntnp. I guess we are heading that direction if I can't get a grip. sorry for that rant - although I feel better to get that out.

Immi - I'm praying that you and dh make it through these rough waters. God has your back. he is rooting for you two to stay together and enjoy his blessing of marriage...and I am too. I hope this season of toughness dumps you both out into a valley of fresh spring and flowers and laughter. I have faith that it will, too.

Rdy - thx for your insight. I def agree with you - I feel the Lord has been whispering to me for some months now these exact works "come to me, dear - look to me - talk to me - seek me - need me."
and for now - I am relying on self way too much. i am going to get into the word today and fellowship with God - I don't feel like that has been as much of a priority as of late.

 

[Willynilly]

Aster and Rdy - don't worry about the "no symptoms" either - most women don't seem to have much of any before they find out. I really hope we all get amazing news this month.

 

[Willynilly]

JKL - hi! ummm, sounds really promising?!!!!! get over here with a hpt pronto! and, of course, symptoms, symptoms, symptoms - if you have any...

 

[Guppy051708]

Aster and Rdy - don't worry about the "no symptoms" either - most women don't seem to have much of any before they find out.

Ladies, she is right!!!! I barely have symptoms now and i am almost 7 weeks up the duff! Dont lose hope because of a lack of symptoms!

 

[Guppy051708]

off topic, but does anyone know why there is big blank spaces under my message? It's like there are extra lines in my post but there aren't.

I have the gap thingy too
not sure whats up with it though.

 

[mrskcbrown]

@WillyNilly: I know how stressful this can be, trying to conceive!!! Geez, I wish it was easier! I think thats why this month, I didnt do OPK, BBT and chart because it all gets too consuming. I am still hopeful for you though. I think you have caught the eggy and maybe this is why the shift in emotions and etc. You are definitely on my prayer radar!

@Sayuri: Thanks so much for your positivity! I do too think this is it.

@Rdy2bamom: Thanks for your prayers! Yes going back to school is stressful. Im trying to grade finals now that I need to post in the system when I get back to work. I hate grading papers! But I thank God for having a job, because I know there are many without!

How is everyone doing otherwise? Im_mi, are things looking up yet? Still praying for you and DH. Guppy, I am still so happy for you and your BFP, as well as Sayuri! Its time for some more BFPs on this board!!!!

 

[Aster]

Aw girlies.. I love you guys! It makes me so happy reading this thread and knowing you guys know exactly how I feel! Big ol !!

Rdy and willy, my cycle sisters, I am going to say some extra special prayers for us tonight as I know god is listening and pouring out his love on us all.

Guppy- our gorgeous mummy to be! I hope you are right about the lack of symptoms. ray:

Jkl- nice to see you sweets! Xxx

Well I have been getting cramping on and off today... Not the greatest sign.. but have also been feeling nauseous on and off so I am praying I haven't caught hubbies D&V bug! Nice!

Am off to the inlaws now for dinner as hubby is still pale and a little green so I am going alone so hopefully will get to slip away early.

My mum said somethng earlier which made me smile. I am guessing that she knows that we are TTC (I haven't told her) as she said that some friends and my uncle had asked if I was pregnant yet. She said, 'you don't need pressure, it is such a stressful time. When you are good and ready, it will be gods way.' I nearly burst into tears (emotional wreck? Moi?!) I love her so much and she understands it so well, I just hope I can be as good a mummy as she has been for me. Xxx

Ok, enough hormones now! gotta to get going, will catch up when I am back. Lol and hugs xxx

 

[J_K_L]

Okay ladies....I think I got a BPF!?!?!

Check out this thread https://www.babyandbump.com/showthread.php?t=248148&referrerid=43815

I broke down and took a test. I'm not sure it shows up in the pictures, but even the DH says he sees a faint line. Although he refuses to celebrate until it gets darker. What do you think?

Symptoms: MOODY (Cloud Nine to Crazy in 60 seconds), I've had a runny nose and congestion for the past 4 days, I keep feeling very faint, especially when I shower. I LOVE a hot shower. It's really not worth it unless you come out as red as a lobster. Light pink spotting from around CD 27-30 I haven't had any cramping.

 

[J_K_L]

Im_im:

Things will work with your DH. Jut don't be afraid to swallow some pride to make progress! I know us hard headed girls sometimes have difficulty with that. Love ya and praying for you tonight!

 

[somedaymama]

I def. see a line!! Congratulations!!

Is your ticker just outdated?

Oh, and I totally agree about the shower--the hotter the better.

 

[Willynilly]

I was feeling pretty positive about you being preg before you took a test but now that I think I see a faint line I'm
















I really hope it just keeps getting darker and darker for you!!! eeeee!
