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

[PrincessBree]

Bean and Melen- It is good to know that there are others who can't relate.My dh said something to me which for me was very true when I look at the grand scheme of things- he said " when we relocate we will not know anybody for a while and will have to relay on God to connect us to others in His timing and way"(paraphrasing lol). When he said that I was like yes that is sooo true,as we do plan to relocate and its a possibility that it could happen sooner than I would of thought...so I guess I just need to submit to this what the Lord is doing now and appreciate the ones He HAS put in my life instead of crying about the ones He has taken away! x
Bean- I am glad that you have started to meet some nice new people at the Bible study it sounds awesome

Melen- Katie is sooooo cute,those pictures completely melted my heart when I saw them God bless her!!!

Wow over the weekend my dh and I looked after my cousins kids they are (2 and 3) well it was we had them all day Saturday and it was a scorching hot day so we took them to the water park and then we also took them to the playground they had an awesome time but they were so demanding,and got fussy at times.Well with all of the heat and stuff through the night and into the next morning getting ready for church dh started to get seriously flustered. By the time we got home that evening, he said "Yea I think that has put me off having kids for a while!!" LOL kids are hard work,like seriously!!I guess its different when they are your own,but I was so shocked at how this one overnight experience changed dh heart towards kids looool - he said "maybe we CAN wait for kids afterall! loool bless him- Needless to say next time my cousin needs a babysitter, I will not be soo quick to volunteer our services so quickly!lol

Hope you all have a blessed day!

Bree xx

Hey girls. Sorry Ive been away. It just getting really hard to deal with everything! Preparing our tiny apartment with what feels like NO HELP from my husband whatsoever. And when he is home, he wont let me do anything and tells me to get off my feet! but I know that if I dont do it, it wont get done.He is very sweet at times and I want to think his intentions are good, but laundry and dishes dont do themselves, and bathrooms dont just miraculously become clean either. Its frustrating when he says he will help and just sits there! (especially on weekends when we do have time!
Bags are packed for the hospital and this is my last week at work. I could probably work longer, but I feel like the stress of my job and the physical demands it puts on me along with the 45 minute each way commute need to stop now. Plus, as just stated, there are still so many things to do! I am worries about what will happen with Brady while we are in the hospital too. I want him to stay on his normal schedule as much as possible, but I know my in-laws will not allow that. They will be coming up for the birth, and they will be keeping Brady. I want them to keep him at our apartment instead of their hotel as I feel that will be a scary thing for him and I am totally uncomfortable with him sleeping with them. He needs to be in his own bed! The last thing I need to be worrying about while i am in labor is my older son..uugh.
I dont want to have a preemie, but I am so ready for this child to be born. Next week would be great! please pray he is healthy and makes his appearance sooner than later!

Hi Bree, yes I am in the UK. We live in Cornwall so lovely beach weather at the moment. Poppy is doing well in the heat sometimes a little unsettled but we strip her off and get the fan going and she is soon smiling again. We were away at the weekend visiting family, lovely to see everyone but very tiring.

Runner I am praying that baby comes soon and that all goes well for you.

 

[PrincessBree]

Awww Runner- I am praying for you hunni!The baby will be here soon,hang in there you have not got too long to go.I know exactly how you feel with dh saying things like that my dh does similar- or says don't worry I will sort the place out and then he does a half job lol- you know us women know how to do a deep clean rather than just the spots that can be seen!So thank God you are going on maternity you will have a lot more time to get all the little bits done before your little one comes.I pray the Lord will take away all of your worries and give you peace on everyday of this pregnancy.

Be blessed my sister!

Sporty- I can only imagine how lovely it is in Cornwall right now!You must be having an excellent time.I think alot are struggling with the heat, not just baby Poppy lol especially because our country is not built for weather like this so we dont have air con in many place!But we thank God for it all the same!

Ladies I hope you all have a blessed day whatever you do and wherever you are !

 

[melenarz]

Sporty & Bree- it is hot here in the US too, major heat wave in Ohio right now. We have been near or above 90 all week and will continue!

Runner- prayers to you! I know how uncomfortable and desperate I was for Katie to get here. She got here a week early, and I don't know if I could have survived the rest!! Also praying for your patience and feeling of safety with your older son while you are delivering the new little man!!

Dh is safely in Europe traveling between Austria and Germany. Comes home Saturday!! My cousin and I are taking our kids to see my grandparents 4 hours away- please pray for traveling safety for us as well!
Have a blessed day!!

It has been absolutely beautiful here in Alaska. Low to mid 70s and sunny. This has been the best summer since we arrived here 10 years ago! I'll be going for my pregnancy verification ultrasound on the 31st - please pray for us!

The next day I will be travelling to Tennessee to be with my parents. We found out my mother has malignant stomach cancer a day or two before we found out we were pregnant. Tumors have closed her esophagus and after chemo, surgery is looming. I have to remember every day to let it go, and put my worries down. It takes a lot of prayer! I find myself worrying a lot.

Melen, I am LOVING that baby picture! What a little doll!!!

Runner, I've thought about you and your little one a lot - prayers for you. I'm so excited for you, I can't even tell you how much!

May God bless and keep this thread and these lives woven tight! What an amazing group of women.

 

[sportysgirl]

shancherie praying for you and your pregnancy. How are you feeling?
Also saying prayers for you mum to give her strength. xx

 

[jewelstar]

Hi Ladies!
I hope everyone is doing well! I'm back into the swing of things at work, and although pretty busy at times, try to remember to check this thread out.

Jaden will be 4 months old on Friday!! Where is the time going?? He's doing well, growing fast, and is a complete blessing to our family.

Here's a pic:

 

[shancherie]

Jewel, what a handsome little man! I can't believe he's four months. Time sure does fly.

Hi Sporty, I'm feeling pretty good. A lot more sickly this time, but I can live with that. Still going through the cycle of worry, realizing I'm tensed up, praying and saying God's will be done, then finding myself worrying again.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

 

[Beanonorder]

Runner sorry you're left to do all the hard work! I completely understand how frustrating it can be! Good luck for your last few weeks, I hope it flies by!

shancherie praying for you! Hope your doctors appointment and travelling goes well.

Jewel Jaden is looking adorable!

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with Proverbs 31 ministry group but I'm really excited that I'm going to be doing an online Bible study through them. I'm going to be doing the book 'What Happens when women say Yes to God' by Lysa TerKeurst. I've never done a Bible study based on a book before so I'm really looking forward to it!
I spend a lot of my time not doing things because I immediately think of all the reasons why I shouldn't or why it won't work so I'm trying to already say yes to new things!
And saying yes to things brings me to a prayer request I have (sorry the explanation is a bit long!):
On Monday I had an interview with a recruiter for what appears to be the perfect job for me here in the city I'm currently living in. I'm waiting now to hear if the actual school is interested. And then tomorrow or Friday I'm going to have another interview with a school in a city about 20 minutes from my current city, which will also be a fantastic opportunity. Both these jobs would start at the end of August which will understandably cause a bit of a problem with my current job as I'm supposed to return to it in mid-August. So my prayer request is that if a new job is the path God is taking me down that I may get an offer from one of these schools and that the potential obstacles I can foresee will be ones that we can ultimately overcome.

Thanks ladies!

 

[melenarz]

Sending prayers Bean!
Runner- it must be a DH thing..... Not to say he doesn't do anything for me, he does, I just feel like so much is left for me and expected of me sometimes
How are you doing Bree?
Sancherie, prayers for your pregnancy to be happy and healthy!!

Can I ask a prayer request for myself? I don't want to get into the long explanation right now, but I need prayers for my faith and strength. I feel both fading at the moment.

 

[3boys]

shancerie i pray for your pregnancy and your mom.
Runner i hope baby makes an appearance soon i know how hard the last couple of weeks can be. x

 

[melenarz]

I have recently started going to the loc breastfeeding center for breastfeeding support and socialization with other breastfeeding mamma's. I do not know who this woman is, but through the group learned of a mother who recently lost her baby. She has continued to pump her breast milk in order to donate to other families in need. I just thought this was such a wonderful thing she is doing. I don't know if I would ha e the strength to even consider it.
If you would t mind, please pray for her and her family over their loss and for their healing and that others may learn her generosity and love.

 

[Blessedbaby]

Amen

 

[3boys]

absolutely what an amazing woman x

 

[runnergrl]

[melenarz]

Praying runner!! Hope that baby comes out soon!

 

[shancherie]

Praying for you Runner

Dear Heavenly Father, please be with Runner and her baby as her time draws near. Hold them close and keep them safe. Amen

I can't wait to see pictures of your new little one.

 

[melenarz]

I hope runner doesn't mind, but I wanted to ask everyone to pray as she is in labor!! May have had baby by now, this is just the first chance I had to get on here today.

Lord, please be with runner and her family and all the docs and nurses as her baby enters the world! Keep them all healthy and safe and in your loving arms. Amen!!

Hi ladies im new in short i have two beautiful kids, didnt think of a thurd til this year i had a sudden yearning, so ntnp we conceived right away with had never happened b4 it happened on mothers day and we found out on my mothers birthday, we were overjoyed at the timing. Then on my sons birthday found out we lost the baby it was one of the saddest moments of my life, by my daughters birthday two weeks later the hpt was negative. On my birthday this past wednesday i got a bfp. Sometimes i wonder what God has in store with us with these funny coincidences.
I beleive my mc did bring me closer to a friend who lost her little girls at 22 weeks gestation, how funny that something i was so afraid would tear us apart ( a new pregnancy) ended up being the thing to bring us together (mc) so i beleive t hat was Gods intention for my loss. I dont blame Him but it was tough.

Please pray with me that this new pregnancy will last, of course im so paranoid after what happened.
