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

[Dipar_Butt3]

Dipar - I'm so sorry to hear this news. wow...thinking of you and your family today.

Aster - I'm sorry you had to grow up with a father like that. but so thankful your mom took care of you as best as she could. she sounds so loving and unselfish - as us moms should be...but not all are.

as far as me - could you guys pray for my bfp. is that ok to pray for my bfp?! I mean it either is or it isn't...but still. I hope it is. Two days I ago I had a teeny bit of brown spotting which may be ib or could be af early. either way - today I had a teeny bit more and now I'm scared AF is a coming. plus, I haven't slept well for going on 10+ nights now...wake up all night feeling yucky stomach and just restless. worried I'm not pregnant and something is wrong with me. the lack of sleep stuff is really getting to me too...I feel so grumpy and lethargic all day

Willy,

I'm with you with the question, is it ok to pray for a bfp or not?..I'm not sure about the others..But i'll diffently pray for your bfp Willy! 2 more days is my testing day..I had on and off cramps..So i'm still praying for it! Call me doubtful. GOD is good anyhow!

Good and slightly-less-than-good news about my husband's job.

1. He will continue to work and be paid for 8.0 hours/day. Since this is what his contract says, the district will continue to honor it.

2. The special ed teachers are putting together a presentation to try to convince the district to let him work at the school at least half a day. The kids were really bummed when they found out, they wanted to know what they would do without him there to help them. This would also allow him to keep his 1 hr/day kid.

3. If the above does not work, he will be a substitute until they find a permanant position for him. This means that he will go to a different school every day pretty much. The issue with this is that he is an 8 hr/day aide, and he is the only aide in the district who is 8 hours instead of 6.5. This will likely confuse teachers and mean that he has nothing to do for 1.5 hours per day when he is subbing.

Tomorrow he was supposed to go to one of the high schools in town that is considered very unsafe. Because there was not time to find a sub for his 1 hr/day kid, he is staying at his school for tomorrow. He already has Friday off because of our RE appointment.

Thanks for praying. Please continue--pray that they can find a way for him to stay at his current school, if it is God's will. Again, sorry for the rambling!!

Hi ladies!
I just wanted to thank you for your prayers!
Everything went well today!
Baby is looking good, HB was 139 bpm the tech said that was normal. And the baby measured at exactly 7 weeks (which is right on according to my Ov. date). I am SO INCREDIBLY BLESSED TO HAVE A HEALTHY BEAN!!!

I was a bit disappointed with the scan though They didn't have the screen facing me, and so she only gave me a 2 second glimpse of the bean She also didn't have the sound turned on so i didn't get to hear the heartbeat and she didn't print off pictures
So that was a bit sad. I feel like i was robbed of that "wow this is real" moment in pregnancy. Dont get me wrong i am VERY grateful the baby is healthy, just a little disapointed. I am praying that when i meet with my OB next week she will want to run a scan just so she knows whats going on (but doubt thats likely). Anyways, my DH and i just wanted to thank you all for your prayers! Being preggo is def. the most faith i've ever had to put in our Lord!

Guppy: I'm thrilled to hear everything went well. While I share in the dissapointment if no photo and no sound (especially because you could have posted the picture), you got the info you needed. You have a healthy little baby griwing inside you. This one was meant to be!

 

[Guppy051708]

Thanks hun!
We are VERY thrilled!!!!

 

[J_K_L]

WillyNilly: Dont forget I started spotting a day before I expected my period and it lasted a couple days before it disapeared. So don't give up, stay positive, and pray for that BFP! God already knows the desires of your heart, but it sure makes you feel better if you ask for it. I'll pray too!

 

[Guppy051708]

WillyNilly, i had spotting the night before my BFP, I really thought i was out! guess i was wrong!

 

[somedaymama]

hey Guppy, I'm glad to see everything looked good on your scan! Sorry you didn't get to see the baby much. Don't ever be afraid to say what you want to your doctor, it is the ONLY way you will get what you want/need. No one is going to stand up for your rights but you.

 

[Guppy051708]

yeah, next time i will def. be more vocal. It just went by so quick (less than 5 minutes), so i didn't realize she was done already. Oh well, i will def. work on confrontation

 

[somedaymama]

Oh, I sympathize. I tell you that you should stand up for yourself, but when I had a bad doctor experience after my m/c I just sat there and didn't say a word. I don't practice what I preach very well.

 

[Guppy051708]

the lady was very cold.
When i walked into the room, the very first thing she said to me was "Why are you here so early?!?!" She said it so rudly. then i was in the middle of telling her i was there because the nurse wanted me to get a scan due to my recent MC (and i had spotting earlier this pregnancy) and she interupts with "oh, so you have to start over from scratch?!"
I was a little intimidated by her. She wasn't very nice at all. I think if there was someone there with a little more sensitivity or a little "warmer" it would have been easier for me to ask.

Guppy,

I'm sooo glad to hear that everything went well with your scann..But yeah she should of at least let you have photos and hear the HB. I thought they normally have the volume on so can hear it. And that respond she gave you was un call for. She should of been more soft about it!!

 

[Willynilly]

Guppy - how RUDE! i would've thrown a fit. well, I wouldn't have really - would have just cried and complained the whole way home to dh. sorry about that but glad to hear everything is amazingly on schedule.

Someday - will be praying for your dh and his job position.

quick thoughts ladies. and btw - thank you for all of your support, prayers, and advice...if I don't have a temp drop tomorrow morning (14 dpo) I'm thinking of doing my first hpt of this month. should I hold out one more day? my lp is 15-16 days. thoughts on this?thanks! and yes, I am proud of myself for holding out so long. well, thanking God for the strength really. I told myself I wanted to see AF this month if I wasn't preggers - rather than see another BFN.

 

[Guppy051708]

I say test tomorrow with FMU!
Even if your LP is 15-16 days long it really wouldn't make a difference. Once the bean implants you start producing hCG.

 

[somedaymama]

willynilly, I was just thinking I hadn't seen you for awhile today! :wave: (such a stalker I am...haha. I had today off work so I'm home doing nothing but housework.)

I cast my vote for waiting to test. If it's positive, it will still be positive on Friday (what a birthday present!). If it's negative, it could a false negative and could be positive the next day. Of course, I'm a hypocrite so if it were me I'd probably test.

 

[somedaymama]

since we were talking about my being a vegetarian the other day, here's a little humor:

My sister sent this to me. The "he" is my 3 year old nephew.

"He could never be a vegetarian. I was handing him a swedish fish (candy), and I was pretending the fish was talking, the fish was saying-"Wah, dont eat me!"' He grabbed the fish from me and bit his head off and said "Now you cant cry!"

 

[Willynilly]

I know - I miss you Someday. I can't be a stalker b/c now back at work and crazy! but so awesome - my dh and I are producing a musical -we began a theatre company together this year and we've been launching this puppy for the past year...it's been the most thrilling couple of months of my life. to see how God has brought me full circle in my career to now this is just so inspiring - I love using my gifts and making a living whilst doing so! (I also love to use the word whilst )

anyhoo - I am just on here real quick now and then for the next few weeks. hopefully, you all won't forget me. wink.

ok - tomorrow remains to be seen. I got one vote for yes and one for no. I guess I will see how the cookie crumbles in the am! hmmmmmm.

 

[somedaymama]

just make sure you get on here to tell us how your test turns out!!! or I will drive to New York to find out!

the musical sounds really neat!

 

[im_mi]
