hope, this is a great summary - thanks for including me! i feel like such a part of this group

i REALLY hope i can get things going soon ! right now i have my brother's dog and three cats in my house because he can not keep him until he finds another place to live he is going through a rough time right now - so i just feel going through a tranfer while i have ALL those animals in my house would be too stressful - hopefully he will get them a home REAL soon!!!

Monica...our fearless leader!!!! YOU GO GIRL! Again, God Bless tomorrow!

Come on Down!
Stacey

Hi there, sorry I havnt been posting.......Just dont have the heart for it.
So my udate is that I go for u/s tomorrow and if lining is 8mm then e/t is monday the 21st.........I cant seem to be positive about this .........Any advice
lynne

[hopeTN]

Hey girl!

I'm so glad to see you. Oh gosh, no problem about posting...I am missing you and I understand. I just hope things are going ok for you. I know what you mean about not feeling so great about all this. It's not the most fun roller coaster ride I've been on. I'm just telling myself it's a leap of faith kind of thing and I feel in my bones it's what I'm supposed to do. My mom says "you take the first steps then let God take the next." I'm going on a limb here...but, I keep thinking of the book "Purpose Driven Life" (pretty hot book right now, eh?)..."You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your Book!" This is from Psalm 139:16. Wow! So, if my ONE and only little guy that was transferred yesterday has already been planned to walk this earth then Woooo hoooo! If not, then I'm praying HARD for me to accept God's will and give me peace and contentment.

Well, another thing I highly suggest is to hang tightly to these incredible girls here...NO pressure to post or anything...just know you're in my heart and prayers and I'm thinking and wishing you the best. I'm sorry if I'm so mushy or overwhelming right now...I don't think it's the hormones totally...these past couple of days have been really surreal and have grown me up a little more. Wooo, growing pains...no pain, no gain, right?

Ok, I'll lighten up. I wish you the best for your u/s and b/w tomorrow.
lots of hugs!!!
Debbie
