Thoughtful Motherhood - Baby Update and Prayer Request

Dec. 5, 2006 - Baby Update and Prayer Request
Posted in Prayer Requests

Hey everyone.  I've been offline awhile preparing for the birth of our fourth little one.  I had hoped for a VBA2C, but after much prayer and some health concerns, we have a repeat C-section sheduled for Thursday, Dec. 7 at noon.  I'm at peace with this decision, though I feel as if I've failed.  I did not use wisdom with this pregnancy, I had all of the knowledge of how to have a healthy, low-risk, unmedicated pregancy and birth, but I did not put into action.  God is gracious, though, and will lead me through this birth and hold my hand during the surgery.

 

I ask for prayers for the following:

 

-wisdom, steadiness, & clarity for the doctors and nurses

-protection of my body, especially the integrity of my uterus

-no surgical complications for either mom or baby

-the continued ability to concieve and carry many babies! :)

-no fear of the operating room

-the ability to remain calm and faithful while on the operating table

-healthy, strong baby

-quick, easy recovery

-no mean nurses, docs

 

Thanks everyone!  I'll post pics this weekend of our new baby.

I'll be praying for you this week my dear cousin....especially on Thursday. Just know that you are in no way a failure...you're a fabulous mom and your husband and children are so blessed to have you as their own. I love you and wish each of you many blessings as you anticipate the arrival of this sweet new baby! Give everyone my love and hugs...your parents and sister as well!!!!

Bethany,

So glad to hear that the end is near... those last few weeks seemed like an eternity for me. Don't feel like a failure, Beth. Remember that God is in control & He knows what He's doing even though we may feel like we could have done things differently. I know how you feel because I tend to beat myself up for not making the right choices when I knew better. Keep looking up & know that we are praying for a safe, healthy delivery! Love you!

Love,
Shari

About Me

I'm an almost ordinary mom. I'm a bit quirky in my tendency toward conspiracy theory and activism. I shout at the tv, which drives my hubby crazy. I was once a single mom of one son and God redeemed me with an amazing husband who loved us both. Later, God took my barren womb and knit together three little men in two and half years, and then shocked the stuff out of us knitting together a little lady. This blog is totally random, following the trends that only occur in my mind. My biggest aim is to live my life more joyfully and more thoughtfully.
