Sayuri, dont give up yet?

Do you have any AF symptoms? I know when mines is about to come because I get this annoying wet feel down there and feel like i have to go to urinate. Sorry tMI. But I just know, you know???? Let us know the outcome and I hope its +.

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Hello sisters!!
I hope all of you are doing well!! I see that some of us are kinda down right now. Well. . .me too! My SIL is 7 mos preg, my sister has an 18 mo old, and I have nothing. Willy-you are not alone sweetheart!! It can be so hard to be around all of the little ones, especially during this time of year. I can remember thinking back in May when we started TTC. . "I am going to be pregnant at Christmas!!" so much for that one! I know God has a plan, and I want His will more than mine, it's just really hard. Okay, enough of that. .

Our time will come SOON ladies!! God has promised! Now that I have had my sad time, onto something better!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I am so excited about tomorrow!!! I am in charge of the Christmas dinner. . . so wish me luck!! Tonight I sang in front of a couple thousand people with my MIL playing the piano, it was so nice! I'm not sure if you all know the song "Breath of Heaven" aka "Mary's Song" but it's such a good song! and sooo good for this time in my life. God is good ladies! I hope you all have a very blessed Christmas.

 

[somedaymama]

Sayuri, I hope you have good news tomorrow! Any AF signs yet?

Willynilly, I know how you feel. I wish that I was busy this Christmas keeping a baby away from my inlaws' dogs...or at least walking around looking pregnant. I've been working on a quilt since we got here, and I have to have it done tomorrow...I keep thinking about how much more difficult it would be to work if I had a baby here, but it doesn't help because I would gladly make that "sacrifice."

About the baby story shows...I guess I'm the opposite of you because I honestly cannot imagine myself in their place. I do not see myself being pregnant and having a baby. I hope I'm wrong of course, but I just don't see it being me.

As you can see I'm a little down right now...sorry bout that. Rdy, I remember thinking the same thing...we started trying in Oct./Nov. of last year so I had hopes of being pregnant last year...when I wasn't I thought surely by this year I would be. Anyway, I hope your Christmas dinner goes well!!

Jenna, good to see you! Sorry your math didn't go well. Merry Christmas!

well it's back to working on my quilt...

 

[somedaymama]

ooh I almost forgot! A couple weeks ago I asked you to pray for my quantitative methods/mathematical economics exam that I was having such a hard time with and I was worried I wouldn't pass. Well, I got my course grade, and I got a B-! I am very grateful although it's not quite rewarding since I know I didn't deserve it. At least I passed and so I can graduate. I got A's in my other 4 classes, and those I was much happier about since I earned them.

Congrats Somedaymama!!! That is excellent! Out God is such a good God! I love it!!!!


Hope you ladies are enjoying your Christmases! The DH and I went to church last night and it was just so beautiful! Love dressing up the Lords house! i mean its not like God cares how beautiful it is, but it is such a sight to behold! The message talked about the meaning of Immanuel, "God is with us". I loved it. So heartfelt. Pastor's wife even cried tears of joy after watching the video clip. It was amazing. How awesome is it to know that "God is with Us" through Jesus?! No matter where life takes us, no matter the rough road of TTC or dealing with MCs and other complications, God is with us. We are never alone even in our weakest moments. It reminded me, so vividly, of when i MCed in October. I remember taking a week off from work and just laying in bed all day. Had the bible by my side and was just sobbing. I remember so brightly of how i was face down on my bed crying like no other and just feeling the presence of Jesus. I was sobbing intensly and it made me feel like Jesus was sitting Indian style with my head on his lap and him stroking my hair and holding me. Such a God experience, one i will never forget.

So if you know anyone who needs to hear something good, just let them know "God is with us". How much would someone's life change if they truly believed that without a doubt.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Well ladies, I am not down. I have my Jesus, my family and my friends. I am so excited about that!!!!

I dont know if you all have ever watched, "Facing the Giants"? Well it is an excellent movie. It talks about having faith in God through all circumstances. Please rent it!!! Buy it. The lady in the movie struggles with infertility and it is not her but her husband. He is told there is no hope, they only can do IVF or adopt. He says that they cant afford that! (Neither can I at the moment). So he starts to read his word and trust God through out all areas of his life! In the end, God blesses them with a child but not only one but 2!!!!!! I am so happy that God is not a respector of persons! He will give me a baby and I am hopeful that this cycle will be my cycle and if not, I will still love him and still praise him!!!!

Love you all!

 

[Willynilly]

I love Facing the Giants! Amazing movie - in fact, they usually show it on xmas day on cable if you have it. I might look for it and we'll watch it again today.

Thx all for your love and support...means so much to me.

DH got me for xmas...ready...A NEW BATHROOM! well, a picture of one anyway, he's going to renovate our (extremely old, very gross, moldy, did I mention old - yeah about 35 yrs old) bathroom next month with a friend. we got a new toilet last year - but we will go together to pick out a sink, jacuzzi tub, and flooring. Best present ever.

And church last night was sooo awesome. I love my church...we have a whole new motto about turning our hearts outward instead of just reaching within our church. So everything was about Jesus being the Prince of Peace and how WE can be the "Kingdom Come" to people/nations. (Our overall church purpose now is to build wells in Africa for fresh water...together we've dug over 30 @ $5,000 a pop)!!!

But whatever u do within your church or within your family...remember, girls - we are representatives of the Kingdom. Christ lives in us...let your light shine.

Merry Christmas,

[somedaymama]

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Merry Christmas everyone! Isn't it great to be able to celebrate the birth of our Savior?

 

[baby#3]

Hey everyone,

Merry Christmas to all! I hope everyone is well.

Sorry for the hiatus but I have the inlaws here. I just wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing.

I haven't had a chance to check back to see if anyone got s for Xmas but I will later.

Hope all is well

We will be searching for a New years BFP. AF came this morning. I decided to think positive and be happy that we get to search for a New Year BFP and how great that would be. I am so glad that God made it so that we have a partner to go through this journey with. If I didn't have DP to keep trying with, I would be more upset than I am now.

 

[somedaymama]

So sorry, Rmar. Keep up the great attitude. I pray that you will get your soon in the new year.

 

[Willynilly]

Sorry, Rmar.

You are on my prayer list for a 2010 BFP.

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Hi!!
Okay, this is REALLY long. . . but I wanted to share it with all of you. It is prayer, proclaiming our pregnancy to come. Afterall. . . God has already said it will be, and if we confess it with our mouths. . . IT WILL BE!! I have decided that I will say this prayer everyday as my proclamation of faith. Love you girls!

Father, we thank You that children are the heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Children are Your idea, Father; You thought up children, and family, and home. You instituted the family in the Garden of Eden. You ordered children; You commanded them when You said to Adam and Eve, "Be fruitful and multiply." You said that the barren womb is never satisfied. Lord, the Word declares that I am wonderfully and fearfully made by You; therefore, I'm perfect and able to conceive and have children. You said that I would be a fruitful vine by the side of our house and our children like olive plants around our table We are not ashamed but happy because our quiver is full of children (or arrows, as You call them).

Thank you, Father, that You designed and fashioned me, to have children, that in the Bible being barren was the exception, not the rule, not Your will, not normal, something against Your plan and purpose. And in Your goodness and faithfulness every barren woman in the Bible who was godly and believed Your Word became pregnant; You opened her womb and blessed her, and she gave birth to a precious baby just as I will. You make the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of children.

You said, Father, that because You are our God and we are Your people and have a covenant with You that You will love us and bless us and multiply us and bless the fruit of my womb and that neither male nor female among Your people would be barren.

Father, we are redeemed from the curse of the Law by Jesus, and being barren is under the curse of the Law; therefore, we will receive from Your grace and have children.

Father, no plague, no evil shall come nigh our dwelling. We are healed by the stripes of Jesus. Sickness of any kind is taken out of our midst. You said to ask anything of You in Jesus' name and it would be done; and that if two of us on earth agree as touching anything it would be done. So we pray and we agree with You and Your Word, Father, that we will conceive and bring forth a healthy, precious baby to Your glory and honor. We pray all this according to Your Word and will. You said, This is the confidence that we have in You, that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us; and if You hear us, we know we have the petition we desire of You, We have it now. Thank you, Father, in Jesus' name.

Now, talk to your body:

Bodies, we speak to you in Jesus' name; You will come in line and agreement with the Word of God. You will respond to His holy Word. You will function properly and perfectly, the way God intended you to. Every part, every organ of our reproductive system conforms to the Word and plan of God as we come together in pure, martial love. Body, conceive! Be pregnant. Cooperate with God's plan; perfect ovulation, release of perfect eggs from the ovaries, through the fallopian tubes, penetrated and impregnated, fertilized by healthy sperm. Good solid attachment to uterine wall and nourished and protected for nine months (40 weeks) unharmed and unhindered. Grow to a perfect baby - spirit, soul, and body. Your Word says, Father, that none shall cast their young, nor be barren amount Your people and the number of our days You will fulfill. This pregnancy will be fulfilled. We decree it in Jesus' name and receive God's best; we won't settle for anything less in Jesus' holy name. Thank You, Lord, that it is so and done to Your honor and Glory. Amen.

 

[somedaymama]

Beautiful prayer, Rdy. I'm going to re-read it tomorrow when I'm not so tired.


I made a TTC journal. Check it out!

 

[Sayuri]

Morning ladies! Well its morning for me most of you are probably snoozing! LOL gotta sort out this pesky time difference!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!, well I sat posied with my 'sanitary towel' all day and nothing. Even DH was asking me has it come? has it come?

MrskcBrown symtoms I usually get are an extreme moodiness like a wave of a dark mood that comes over me just before pain then I usually wipe and its there. When I was alot younger I would have sore boobs, and spotty face for about a week. I dont really get so much symtoms just that I know the day because I am so clockwork I can set my time to the period.

OK so yesterday I was going to the toilet every five minuetes, that could be a onset of period, or uti so I am not sure. As I type I have just rushed to the toilet and I already want to go again. Last night DH mentioned boobies looking large (I really think he is more excited than me) I think they are the same they feel very hard so who knows. I know I sound matter of fact but its a habit of mine so that I dont get my hopes up too much it drives DH nuts!!. imma try be positive!

ok so Large boobies VERY HARD around the actual boob
FREQUENT URINATION I mean FREQUENT
No spots unusual
Have eaten chocolate but thats because of the copius amounts at my mother inlaws yesterday!!!

Its really annoying that Period and Pregnancy symtoms are so similar hmmmmm hope I hear from you guys today, im off to church this morning with DH!!! He is going to come with me for thanks for his promotion. I will say a prayer for all of us xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Sayuri]

@Rdytobeamom That was such a beautifull prayer ! it will happen!!

 

[Willynilly]

Rdy - thank u SO much for that. wow - every barren woman in the bible conceived. I never thought of that. I am definitely making this prayer my prayer too.

Sayuri - I hope this is it for you. when are you testing? eeeeeeeee - hopeful!

As far as me: I am irritated yet happy today. For the first cycle ever I got solid cross-hair lines on FF. I ovulated for sure. Bad news - I ovulated day 12. Ok, I won't lie - I am crying a little. My ovulation ranges from day 11 to day 19. it is pretty hard to time BD perfectly. So this month we BD three days before ovulation and once on ovulation day. so we have two shots I guess. But - I definitely would've liked to have had more BD in there. So this will be a short cycle for me. AF in 10 days. I guess we will begin again. Rdy - you couldn't have timed your prayer more perfectly for me.

 

[Willynilly]

Plus I just really felt this would be our month. we had so much time to bd over Christmas - I thought - MAN, we are REALLY getting the job done! But ovulation on day 12?! eek. ok, I am done complaining. going to go pray and confess this for myself and my wonderful husband.
