Nic great numbers: Congrats officially!!!

Sonu: Praying for you and the lil bean. spotting is very common. Everything I read said as long as it is not accompanied with cramps or red blood it is normal. But I would be a bit worried as well.

Indie: So no AF yet huh? She never comes when I want her to either! Argh!

Just wanted to check in - battery is low on puter - and I am lazy so this will be short for now. Hope everyone is well and in the Word! I am planning on joining a Bible study soon b/c i have been so distracted and miss my Bible study times.

Peace.

[hrobinson]

Nici- YEAH!!! I am so excited for you. Your numbers look really good. I am sure you and DH are just over the moon.
so, will you be continuing with the foster parents classes, or drop out now? I can't believe how well things have worked out for you.

Mia- How are you feeling? has the morning sickness subsided a little bit? I hope you soon start to feel better, and get some of your energy back.

Sonu- I am praying for you. I think I have shared before...when I was pregnant with my dd, I bled starting at about 9 weeks, and spotted until the day that I delivered her. It is always scary though, and I will definitately be praying for you.
When do you go back to the dr?

Indi- Did AF arrive yet? is it not amazing how rare it is that we want her to show her ugly face. However, when we want her to show...she seems to hide away. URG!!! I hope she shows quickly.

Alright ladies...I am headed to bed. Busy week as we are having once again teh TAKS testing again this week. My two babies that failed the first one will take the test again on Wednesday. Then everyone has to take a math TAKS test on Tuesday. Please pray for guidance for these kids. Way too much stress for these little babies.
I am down to just one more month until I get to start my whole FET process. I am getting really excited. However, I am a little scared as God has not sent any signs to me that this is going to work. Does that mean it won't? I wish I would know for sure. Please pray for peace of mind for me.

have a great Monday ladies.

[hrobinson]

Good morning ladies. Just wanted to pop in to ask a quick prayer request. My dh's mother passed away this morning. While we knew that she had cancer, we did not know the severity of it, and were not notified that Hospice had been called in. My dh just lost his father in July of last year, so this is all very hard for him.
Due to our school testing, I am pretty sure my principal will not let me attend the services as they are in San Antonio and I would have to miss probably 3 days.
Anyhow, just keep my dh in your prayers.

Thanks

[nicaliw]

Hrobinson, so sorry for your bad news. Sounds like a lot to loose both parents so close together.

It was interesting to me that you feel like God hasn't sent you any obvious signs that your FET will work. I had the same feelings, I even told my DH that I had prayed and prayed that God would send me a sign that it was going to work......but nothing. My DH reminded me that we can ask all we want but he's not always going to show us a sign.

To answer your question about the foster to adopt.....YES, we're still going ahead with this. Since I felt very much like God led us in that direction I don't think he meant "please adopt a baby unless you get pregnant"......and we both have so much desire to give a home and loving family to a child who needs it. The timing may be later now, but the typical wait time for an infant can be a year anyway....so we'll just see how God has it planned for us and go with that.

I agree, I can't believe how well this worked out for us. I never expected all 4 embryos to survive the thaw and I didn't expect to become pregnant with a 7mm lining. God is good! I prayed a LOT and he answered my prayers. We're very thankful.

Hang in there Sonu - as the other girls have said, spotting is common in early pg - and I've heard that brown means it's not new. Praying that your bean is doing just fine and for strong PMA for you, sweetie.

Nikki - Congrats on the strong beta!! That is fantastic news!

hrobinson - so sorry to hear about your DH's mom - praying for DH, you and your family during this time. My grandparents passed away very close in time as well, only months apart too. It is very sad, but I pray his parents are together again in Heaven in the presence of the Lord. Praying for comfort and support for you all.

indie - I dont' know why AF feels the need to hide like this! Dancing the AF jig for you!!! You dancing too?? Maybe that will shake things up a bit!

Hi to everyone else - I only read back one page - I need to get ready for work, I've been playing too long this morning! I'm sorry I didn't catch up this weekend, my SIL and our DSSs were all here, had a house-full, so I wasn't able to catch up.

Hugs to you all and I'm still thinking of you and praying for you all daily.

[IndieBlue]

Thank you ladies AF still hasn't shown up....and I've been so nauseous....and bloated I wish she'd get here.

HRobinson: Sorry about you MIL I'll pray that everything turns out okay, I understand about your job and not getting to the funeral....maybe something will work out though.

Nicaliw: I keep feeling like all these new fees, stalled AF and such are signs that we shouldn't be doing it....so I think I'd rather have NO signs then negative ones LOL We're going to go ahead with tomorrows psych. appointment, but again..hubby was NOT happy about giving up another 300.00 for a 2 hour appointment...but sadly it's something they want us to do so we'll go ahead with it.

With gas prices skyrocketing though, it almost makes me feel irresponsible for spending all this on another child right now....I mean all these negative signs...it's really getting me down and I'm doubting everything all over again. AF is doing a number on me...so is the devil I'm afraid.

Well, off to eat lunch Praying for you all!

[kbat]

HRobinson--Sorry to hear about your MIL Hope you will be able to make it to the services. I am sure that your dh is very upset about losing both of his parents so close--it's overwhelming.

[chriss]

HRobinson,
Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you. So sorry about your MIL.

Sonu, how are you? Hope you are well.

Hi everyone! Thinking of you all. -chriss
