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

[sportysgirl]

melenarz when you feel like that with lots of pressure something has to give before you burn out. How long do you have left at work? Is there anyway you could do a less stressful job for the same firm until your maternity leave? Then worry about going back at a later date? The most important thing is you and your baby as I am sure you know. Do you have any annual leave you can take? I took a day or two each week for the last 3 months of my pregnancy and it really helped. How is the counselling going?

Poppy is 6 weeks old today where has that time gone? She is starting to be awake more and having a good look around, its so lovely to see!

Continuing to pray for you all.

cant believe Poppy is 6 weeks old already!

 

[runnergrl]

Bree- where are you? do you have news for us??

 

[jewelstar]

Hi ladies!!! I'm actually in line getting Jadens birth certificate. I can't believe my little guy is 5 weeks old already!! I hope you all are doing well and are blessed!!!

Sporty, I'm already burned out. The company really doesn't care. They act like it but don't. Unfortunately there is nothing else and they expect the same amount/quality of work out of me at this point that they did before I was pregnant. I am expected to work as many hours per week as it takes to get the job done. They don't care if it takes away from your life. At the same time, I feel stuck because I do work out of my house. So even though I have a great sitter lined up, I will still be here and can continue to nurse, etc. it is hard for me to give my all to a job and company who give me no respect- as you said runner. I've been looking into other jobs and opportunities, but so far can't find anything. I'm just physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. Of course, I'm not sleeping much now either which doesn't help.

Hello Ladies just stopping in to see how everyone is doing. Melenarz praying for you and praying that you will find a job you love and that is not so stressful.
I hope you all are doing great. Time sure does fly. Ethan is already 10 weeks old and getting bigger each day. He now likes to stay awake for a long time but he is sleeping through the night so he finally has his days and nights straight. Praying for you all

Hello ladies!!!

How is everyone doing these days its been real quiet here !

I see there are prayer requests and want you to know I am praying for and thinking of you all!Melenarz thinking of you as I know you are going through a difficult time right now xx

Hakuna-Welcome hunni!Congratulations on your second!!!God bless your pregnancy!!Tell us more about you x


How on earth are Amber,Poppy Ethan and Chase grown so quickly?What blessings those little ones are.I thank God for them,our future leaders and pastors

Runner~no news here hunni except that I am going to have my first and foremost opportunity to teach at my church on dance ministry.This is a really an exciting opportunity for me however i am literally having to completely and wholly trust God to help me do this because I find it difficult to do any kind of public speaking I really need some prayer on this ladies that the spirit of fear will have no place in me to operate and that I will speak the word of God with boldness as He intends!

Ladies when I don't get to come on it is nice to see that you are all still here encouraging one another and keeping the love and fellowship alive!That more than anything brings such joy to my heart!

To think next month this group will be 1 year old (happy birthday yall) lool so crazy-this is bitter sweet for me as it will be 1 year since I lost my baby it is going to be a real time of reflection for dh and I.I know one thing though that is for sure and that is that our Lord is a healer and a restorer and He has turned my mourning into dancing and rejoicing Some of the things I am doing right now I would not of been able to do if I had gone full term and I know that the Lord is birthing something in me which I never would of expected!I give Him the glory

Love you all ladies!!!!



Mwaahhh!!

awww, the first anniversary is super hard. i'll be praying for you lots as that time approaches.

and, melenarz, i was thinking about you tonight in the shower (that's my personal time, ha ha) and praying for you - i know what it's like to have a job like that and i'm sorry you're going through all this

 

[melenarz]

I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers! While I don't feel 100% better, I am doing better! And I know it because of the people paying for me. I have a cousin who is a pastor and she told me its ok to ask other people to hope and pray for you when you can't do it yourself. You ladies are lifesavers!!! I can say now I have some hope and I can pray again, maybe not a lot, but enough.

We had our scan yesterday morning to check a minor kidney issue and by the grace of God it is all cleared up, so no worries! My Peanut was just perfect! Opening and closing its eyes, 'chewing' away at something in there! Practiced breathing for us, got the hiccups and let out a big yawn! We only had the 2d scan, but it was beautiful. Oh, and the tech laughed and said she had never seen this much hair on a baby at 32 weeks! Normally she doesn't see hair like that until about a week before delivery--and it's got 8 weeks to grow!

 

[hakunamatata]

Mel that's fantastic news!!!

Ani had quite the head of hair too

 

[PrincessBree]

Hi ladies! I can't believe I am just now finding this group. I am wondering if I could join in. A little about me I been married for just about 13 years and have 5 beautiful children. I am now due any day with my 6th child which is a true blessing from the Lord. I would really love to join in with you ladies. I really love the fact that you all are praying for each other and encouraging each other. Blessings to you all!

[Soon5kids]

Thanks PrincessBree!!! You know time and truly knowing each other in Christ is what has kept us going. We have grown together over the years rather than apart. I am truly blessed!

 

[melenarz]

We had our first hospital tour today-- I loved it! And I loved their rules!! Their rules are exactly what I need in order to manage my mil! It has me calmed significantly.

Now, the only issue is because I am delivering with a midwife, I have to have one hospital as my first choice but be willing to go another as a backup in the case that someone else goes into labor before me and chooses the other hospital. There is only one midwife on call at a time, however, she will be with from admission through delivery- which I love the idea of. Anyhow, if you could, please pray it all works out and I will get to deliver at the hospital which is my first choice. I know it will be fine either way, but I think I would be happier with my first pick! They are very pro-breastfeeding and skin to skin bonding-- and mother baby bonding period.

Also, please pray for me that my desire and hopes for breastfeeding work out as I am hoping. I am not getting much support other than DH. In fact, my mom is very discouraging. I know I was not breastfed long and I have a feeling that has something to do with the poor relationship I have with my mom. I see the kids I babysat who were breastfed for 1-2 years- the bonds they have with their moms are amazing!! I want that with my baby.....

Thank you again for your prayers! And welcome to the new ladies! It will be fun getting to know you ladies and praying with you
