Goodness, I just got done writing you and somehow lost the whole letter! Yes,

hubby is in construction. He installs commercial floor covering, like the

coved sheet vinyl you see in hospital bathrooms, etc..We have been hit and

miss this last year. I love to hit the bargains and find great deals.

Clearance, 80% off! and have a bite to eat. It is fun looking. I am thinking

about selling on E-bay so I am going to start looking for the deals on baby

items. I could have a wonderful layette and then turn around and sell it in

like new condition. It is a deal as long as I get it in clearance or holiday

sales. Thanks for the compliment about my picture. I was worried it would be

too dark and boy was it hard to get my face in the picture. Have you ever

tried to do that? That was funny. One of my kitties was sitting on my lap

begging for attention when I took it. I don't think you can see her. Well, I

had better move around. My bottom hurts and I think it may be permanently in

the shape of my chair if I don't get off it! LOL Bye neighbor,

I am so glad to here that you went through the procedure well and are now home

resting. Dr. Levin is a miracle worker, you placed your trust in him to grant

you the ability to conceive. Now it is your turn to place this in God's hands

and he will see you through. Children are God's creation, have faith and you

will conceive.

In testing times I try to remember this prayer:

Stop telling God how big your storm is.

Instead tell your storm how big your God is.

Just repeat this phase and see how God moves!

Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my

family, my home and my friends.

Another one I like is:

O Lord thou knowest how busy I must be this day.

If I forget thee, do not thou forget me.

Best of luck, and may God bless you!

Ingrid, what you are feeling is COMPLETELY normal!! Just remember what Dr. L

told you and no rough sex!! Not like I even think you are up to that! I

worried every single month what if this means my reversal didn't work? Every

time AF would come, I would cry. I would just suggest being patient with

yourself. I know if Dr. L had any doubts, he would have been honest with you.

I have faith that it will happen for you, and I will certainly include you in my

prayers each night. Prayer is wonderful!!!

Re:

I just hate the feeling when a cold comes on at night like that! Yucky.

Especially when you are preggo, poor dear.

My incision hurts really bad. I have the red pouch like thing, talk about

ugly. I thought I would feel better by now. I am on day eight! I can't stand

or sit very long, so I better go lay down for awhile. There are so many

people here today with sorrows and sickness, I just don't care about MY pain!

The worst thing is not knowing if the TR is really going to work. I know I

should trust in the Lord and I am trying, but I just keep thinking it is

going to fall apart or scar over or something. My head has not cleared up all

the way yet, so I am kind of emotional and cloudy headed these days.

Thanks for thinking of me,

Get well soon,

Ingrid

[Guest guest]

Ingrid It took me awhile to heal. It felt like forever

but it does !!! I got pregnant the last week of the

month after my reversal without trying! Try not to

stress over it... Stress can be a birth control!

Ingrid,

Thank you so much for your prayers, i sure do need them. One thing i can say

is that God has made a patient woman out of me to have all these kids. One

thing i can say is that it all has been worth it, and that is why i want to

do it again.

Love and baby wishes

hey darling,

take off the block from instant message and welcome to the wonderful world

of chat love judy

[Guest guest]

I am back! Still feeling like roadkill, but at least I know the weekend is just

around the corner so I can rest a lot! My boss had asked how I felt yesterday,

and I said " Pretty much like crap! " and he said yeah he heard on TV about the

bad colds going around. So, he wasn't too upset that I left 2 hours early. I

did go right to bed when I got home (OK, after making a vanilla malt!) but then

last night I had a rough time sleeping without being able to breathe!!

Did you read the story? I know it is long, I keep telling everyone that, but I

hope you enjoyed it!!
