Good News

Good Morning Prayer Warriors! Boy, have I got a job for you! Because......we are 13 weeks pregnant! Yea, whoo hoo, cheers, yippy-well, you get the picture! We are very excited to welcome our newest blessing later this year. My official due date is 9/7/09, but they will induce labor around 8/24/09, which will be 38 weeks. I have been feeling yucky many nights, but have only seen my lunch a handful of times. Also, I am starting to see the light at the end of the no-energy tunnel. All in all things are going well and I have no complaints :) I have been to the doctor several times(OB 1x, high risk 2x) already and had 3 ultrasounds. Things are looking so good that my high risk Dr. said I don't need to see him until I am 19 weeks! I see my OB again on the 12th.

Okay, read on if you're up for a big, I mean really big challenge....

I have already been having nightmares about this baby being born so I have a feeling I may not be my calm, cool (ha!) self towards the end of the pregnancy (or anytime in between). So, this is my idea, I want to ask each of my blog readers if they will commit to pray for me, a healthy baby, our family and against worry and anxious feelings until little baby T arrives.

If you read this blog and think you can pray for the same thing over and over for 25 weeks, please leave a comment and tell me exactly when you will pray. If you will commit to pray every Tuesday and Thursday while you sit in the carpool line, each morning while you dry your hair or even every Sunday morning while you wait for your church service to start. Whenever you will remember will be great! I'm asking even the blurkers (blog + lurkers)-those that read, but don't leave comments- to leave a comment this time if you will commit some prayers for a crying baby to arrive this summer. This way I can refer back to this post during those days filled with worry and take comfort in all the prayers being lifted for us.

God(and us) will be truly honored if we can join together to pray for this common cause.

Matthew 18:19 NIV

¹⁹"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. ²⁰For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

What an amazing promise from God! He is so good!

Thanks in advance for your commitment to pray. I am confident God will hear us and answer us according to His will.
