Is it too early to call this the ?early Spring? thread? Wishful thinking? Wink

Praying at this time especially for:

BabyBeatrice and her family ? for healing and fortitude as they deal with Beatrice?s illness;
BlackEyedSusan ? for health and strength for her; for an easier time at school for her children; and for her mum to feel more settled;
BlueTinkerbell ? giving thanks for her baby DD; and praying for her as she explores her vocation;
charlottecollinsislost ? for her to know more certainty in her difficult relationship situation;
DoctorAnge ? for health for her little girl;
Dontsteponthemomeraths ? for her DS as he is referred to the community paediatrician; for her ?LM? as he tries to establish contact with his children; for her brother to regain full use of his thumb, following an accident;
DutchOma and Bob ? for health for Bob and for him to feel at ease in his new ; and for Oma to feel supported as she cares for him day-to-day;
FlatsInDagenham ? for the family and friends of her colleague, who died recently; for her SIL who has cancer; and for her brother and their family;
GingerCurl ? for the successful and (relatively) stress-free completion of her thesis;

jann2013 ? for her health; for an easier relationship with her ex; and for her to feel accepted at her church following the break-up of her relationship;
Kaykat ? for her and her DS to know peace and happiness as they emerge from an abusive relationship;
MadHairDay - for her continued good health; and for her whole family and their mission, that they will find the resources (financial, practical, spiritual, whatever) that they need to grow and flourish;
PositiveAttitude ? for her mission overseas; and especially for her DD1 who has been going through some tough times and may soon be spending some time abroad with her parents; for happiness for the whole Attitude family; also for PA?s mum who has Alzheimer?s; and prayers of thanks for the birth of PA?s baby great-nephew;
raininginbaltimore ? for healing for her broken foot; for health for her baby girl who has terrible reflux; and for her financial situation to improve;
Roomforalittleone - for her hyperemesis to ease and for her house sale to go through smoothly, easing her family?s financial anxieties;
Teahouse ? for healing following her TVT operation;
waitingtobeamummy ? for her to feel closer to God following a series of difficult situations, and in the meantime for her to feel our prayers supporting her;
...and for all who post on this thread, for those who lurk, for occasional visitors, and for those known to us who are in need of prayer, whether mentioned here or not.

Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

What a nightmare bes. I agree though, you can't take that responsibility on for yourself...

Pleased to say that the monitoring showed a happy baby so I am massively reassured :) No contractions at present but baby is engaged so I don't think it'll be too long!

Just had a chat with 'lovely man' he's abroad in ExWs Country with a final attempt before High Court to find an agreement. His lawyer has sent it to hers for her to look at and either agree or go to Court.

This has been dragging on for a year and it seems his final offer to her may not be enough and it's going to cost him a fortune in legal fees, not the contact arrangement he longed for with his 4 DCs and it'll take him a long time to clear his legal fees. Or afford to live really. It all seems so unjust after this long drawn out process that he may not even get justice here, just an enormous amount of debt. The Court system there isn't fair, it's nothing like the UK Sad

Please please please can I ask for a miracle here that we all pray that God can make a way where there is no way here and that his and her lawyers can reach an agreement that's fair for everyone and the kids.

I know the above isn't that clear but I cannot out myself or him. I'm feeling so sad for him right now. I'm glad we can talk as friends and I can still pray for him but glad we're just friends now. You know? His life is a mess and it's so hard to see. He may not be able to afford to even fly out and see his kids by the time this is over, which was the whole point of beginning this process, as he only see's them once a year as it is.

Hi All. Can I ask you to pray for me and the baby? I've either got a tummy bug (although it doesn't feel like one) or I've started with a flare up of Crohn's disease. I had that from 24 weeks pg with DS (I'm 27 weeks today) and that may have been the cause of my premature labour with him. Regardless of what's making me ill, I don't feel well but I want to give DH time to get his studying done. I also need to finish the Tesco shop that I had to abandon yesterday...

Praying Room. Can you do the shop online and get it delivered? I've been doing that recently. Makes life so much easier when you're pregnant!

Praying into that situation Mome. I appreciate you can't give too much detail but figure The Lord knows all the details so just praying into it.

Oh Littleone that is a worrying situation. I am praying for an 'angel' to come to your aid, someone who will take over from you for a bit so you can rest. Think back if there is anybody who has said:"Let me know if there is anything you need," and ring them. Maybe they can't help now, but maybe they can just lend you a hand when you need it most.

So contractions are starting for a while then stopping for a while. Neonatal doc was great. It's a case of wait and see now. They expect me to deliver preterm but that could still be weeks away. Ideally baby needs to stay in until lunch time on Saturday at least to be 24 hours post steroids then they'll stop the drip that is trying to stop my contractions. Then we wait... The best people seem to be hoping for is 32 weeks...

Just back from my holidays, and feeling a bit woozy and jet-lagged after no sleep at all on the plane last night. But popping by to pray for Room and the baby... praying that you stay well, Room, and that baby stays in there for as long as possible. Will be back later when I'm a bit more organised.

Update from Roomforalittleone

Our good news today is dd2 got a place at our/her first choice school! At least we don't have to faff about with sorting that out :-)

Baby is still happily inside me. I'm having intermittent contractions but I now only have 12 hours left on the drugs to stop contractions. After that they will not try to stop my labour. Baby looks to be a good size on ultrasound which significantly increases chances of a good outcome. It's still very much wait and see what happens. We may have a baby soon or it could be a few weeks before he/she puts in an appearance.
