Christian Ladies-Let's Pray for our Babies!!

[Beanonorder]

Well its d-day for me. Time to return to China. I can't wait to see my dh but saying good bye is hard. I got so emotional in church today that I had to go out. Both my parents came out crying.

Happy Easter to everyone!

Hi ladies!! I can't believe that my little guy is already 5 days old!!! These first few days have been what I was expected-- little sleep, lots of nursing, and TONS of prayer!! I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with the idea of being a mother of 2 (in relation to raising them and instilling Christian values in them) and cried out to the Lord for comfort. Hubby and I had a really great talk too last night (I think hubby may have a little bit of baby blues-- I didn't know dads cold get it too) and we are very much on the same page as far as our concerns and stuff.
On another note-- my milk came in Friday and I have been dealing with some SERIOUS engorgement, to the point where I cried in the shower yesterday. Ladies, can you please pray that my milk supply stabilizes itself soon?!? I only plan on nursing my LO until I go back to work (4 months) and I'd really like this time to be enjoyable as much as possible.
Sorry for the long update! Whenever I'm gone for a few days I feel like I have to go over every detail!
I'm attaching a pic of my little guy (he's 4 days old in this pic)

Beautiful boy jewel!!! Love that picture-- looks like a little flirt winking at the ladies already! Lol!
Praying everything goes smoothly for you! Isn't is great when a moment of despair can lead into a wonderful conversation. For you and hubby? I've experienced hat a few times now and I realize that is why God led me into that place to start with!!

Hey. He is super cute ... Best tip for the engorgement is just before a feed is due massage your breasts from your collar bone down to nipple with long , firm but gentle strokes , then do the same from right under your arm and then again from underneath to the nipple again . I also do this during feeds too , but wait until you are half way through feed or you might choke the little sweetie as it can push milk through a little quicker . . .

Can I ask for prayers tonight? I'm very embarrassed to be asking, but dh and I have been lacking much intimacy, for a while now. It is finally eating at me. I feel like a failure as a wife. He has been so gracious with me, but when he reads about this time should be 'the best ever' in he bedroom, I know he is disappointed. I don't know if it is because I have been so sick so long or what exactly, but frankly, I am scared to death this will severely affect our marriage after baby is here. This has always been such a taboo subject in my family, I feel strange even asking for prayers in this area, but I just feel at a loss and not sure what to do. We love each other a great deal, but sometimes I feel like we each just do our own thing and our relationship together suffers.

 

[runnergrl]

Prayers- M. We struggle in this area too. I know exactly where you are coming from.

 

[melenarz]

Prayers for you too runner. I don't wish it on anyone, but at the same time, it is comforting knowing we are not the only couple going through it-- especially when everything you read says pregnancy should make it all fantastic!

 

[jewelstar]

Oh my goodness, ladies! Hubby and went through the DRYEST spell for months during my pregnancy. I want to say it was bordering on 4 1/2 months. I finally talked to him about it and he said quite honestly that he just wasn't interested. It hurt, but I was glad to be able to talk with him about it-- we made up for it by talking more with each other, watching movies, etc... I just wanted to feel close to him in any way possible!!
Hoping that after I get the "ok" from the doctor things will return to normal!

Ladies (((HUGS)))

I feel for all of you needing prayers.
Just been reading and catching up.

(((HUGS)))

we are 17 weeks today.



The Lord is my light
and my salvation
in whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
of whom shall I be afraid...
psalm 27:1

Praying for you ladies.

With my first pregnancy, the last time we were intimate was 17 weeks. No more AT ALL the entire pregnancy. This time I think it's been at least three weeks since we were. He's just not interested. It's very hard on me.

Ladies will say a prayer for you all .... Can I ask for prayer please. Islay was born with turned in feet , the right one is straight but the left one is still turned in and can't be flexed straight now. So we are seeing the paediatric orthopaedic team in a week. Also her health visitor noticed her fontanelle had closed by a third in a week so she has to see our dr ASAP and then possibly be referred on to have X-rays and monitoring to see what is happening . I'm so worried and really hope all is ok with my little babykins .... Xx

Praying for your little one-- that the Lord will touch her foot and heal it, in Jesus' Holy Name! Also praying for her fontanelle-- that it isn't an issue right now. Also praying for you, meandmrb! I'm praying that God will be with you as you are dealing with these things with your little princess-- that he will give you peace and comfort as the doctor's figure things out.

Hugs!!!
