Sunny,
Hey sis sunny, u sleep so late..sleep early k..best is before 11pm loh
Yes, you are right, its time to be assertive and talk to your boss about a fair deal. Even if she claims you have reached the peak of career advancement, what about pay adjustment..its important to communicate to her about what you think is fair and u deserve. Even if you think the answer is going to be negative, at less let her know you are not the type to be taken for a ride and still remain blur blur and passive. Let her know you know you are not getting a fair deal. Even if no pay rise, when she wants to offload you more duties, she might think twice in future.
That was what happened to me. Despite no pay rise for a few years due to parent co not doing well, I still let my boss know co is treating me below my expectation. Bosses must know our expectation too.
Hey sis, who knows, it could be you will really strike upon the 10th try. As long as continue to try, sure will have hope.
Fully understand the tears you shed for your babies. Huggzzz...I am sure you will meet them again and they will know you are their mom. Alto I am not a christian, I like this poem very much, find it to very comforting and could well be true and want to share with you. And remember k, your angels are playing together and they want their mom to be strong and to be ready to be a mom all over again soon and they will watch over their didi and meimei to be born to you de.
What Makes A Mother
I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked, "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard him say
A Mother has a baby
This we know is true
But, God, can you be a mother
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can he replied
With confidence in his voice
I give many women babies
When they leave it is not their choice
Some I send for a lifetime
And others for the day
And some I send to feel your womb
But there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God
I want my baby here
He took a breath
and cleared his throat
And then I saw a tear
I wish I could show you
What your child is doing Here
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear,
but My mommy loved me so much
I got to come straight here!"
I feel so lucky to have a Mom who
had so much love for me
I learned my lessons very quickly
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much
But I visit her each day
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow is where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And whisper in her ear
"Mommy, Please don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I am here"
So you see my dear sweet one
Your children are okay
Your babies are here in My home
And this is where they'll stay
They'll wait for you with Me
Until your lessons there are through
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates waiting for you
So now you see
What makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start

Lyn,
I told my hubby that my one good friend I know from internet is expecting after so many trials and he is really happy. Its not easy for guys to be happy over such things since guys are guys and they don't really care about such things but I have mentioned you to him before and he remembers. So u see how touching ur pregnancy is
We have walked this long road together and I really feel your joy. And fully agree it takes a lot of determination for you to persist given all the fsh numbers seem to keep working against you from the very day we knew each other.
And remember the last time we met, I told you you looking prettier and prettier by the day and you reply was that you got no kid, so very free to take care of yourself...heeee.. With this again, I cannot help but to really believe for people like us who need to try very hard to conceive, the more we let go and focus on ourselves first rather than total ttcing, the more our bodies can regenerate and make it condusive for conception.
And to all sisters,
Don't give up k, like what Lyn and Elle all said, keep trying and at the same time, don't forget to put yourself as number one first. Its indeed hard to let go as it has been for me. Maybe key is to strike a balance between having a life outside of ttc and ttc.
Becky,
Very encouraging to see all the motivations you girls are spreading..makes my day too really
Elle,
Hey sister, long time never speak, how are you? K, I will go facebook to look for u later.
