Mmmmmmm, good point - Trantumi?? Trantrumo?? I could really do with a cool word for the plural cos they always come in synchronisation in my house! Eeeeeek!

Thank you soooo much for what you said about me, Texas - I really needed to hear something nice and encouraging right now - God is amazing with His timing, isn't He!!!? Thank you - I speak only the words God gives me for people (I hope), so I guess His words are beautiful, aren't they!!?

Glad your No 1 choice for CM looks like a go-er - good news!! Praying your boss is understanding about shifting work about a bit - praying .....

Feeling very and at how unsupportive and ignorant my DH's parents are being about us moving - Actually, to be fair, FIL is being ok - he isn't really one for looking after the girls, but he'll do it if he has to; but he is willing to help us practically if he can. MIL on the other hand is being sooo crap. Her social life is her major, No 1 priority and we've had no firm offer of help from her at all. In fact, DH and I have decided to give up and find people elsewhere to look after the DD's while we do everything. The only problem with that is that we then have to do all the picking up, giving tea, bathing, bed, getting up stuff, which will break up and limit our time, iykwim!!? We asked for help at church today and ONE PERSON offered help -

Hi everyone.

Thank you to those who have prayed thus far for my neice. All is appriciated.

Mum says on the surface they are coping & neice is now having long talks with mum, so that's good.

Please can you pray for her & her df for Wednesday, as that is when the funeral is?

Thank You once again.

sleepysooz · 10/12/2006 22:46

Please god give me strength and patience, my DS is screaming, won't go to sleep!

weirdbird · 10/12/2006 23:05

Please God Help me

I'm just so scared,

I have lost so many babies and now that I am so close to having one I can't help but fear the worst may happen.

Please God help me

worzella · 11/12/2006 00:09

Hi Weirdbird - sorry to hear that you are feeling scared... praying that you will sleep well an have peace. I pray that you will feel that God is in complete control.

Praying for the rest of you too but I need to go to bed.

Please continue to pray for our minister who is to undergo another lumbar puncture and blood patch on Tuesday ( he has holes in his spinal column which cause leakages... apparently they try and inject the sites with bloood that should clot and repair the holes).

mistletoemania · 11/12/2006 00:19

weirdbird lots of positive vibes to you hugs] will say a wee prayer that everything goes ok.

try and get some sleep

EatDrinkandBeMary · 11/12/2006 05:43

Weirdbird - praying that God will take care of you and this little baby. Hang in there, and call the hospital, perhaps go in and get monitored/checked over, if it'll help your worries.

Worzella - praying for your minister

Sandcastles - for your niece

CD - hang in there, won't be long now, and its such an exciting time. Don't worry about your MIL, its stressful for all of you and it just sounds like she's not coping too well. I know you've got a lot on your plate, but God is on your side, and so are we! . As for the people at church - give them chance to think on it. Not everyone can always volunteer straight away. Let God work on them!

TR- sounds like you're getting sorted - praying that work will be amenable!

DS was sick yesterday, I've just been up with him, he's complaining of feeling sick. Please pray we don't all come down with the sickness bug that seems to be going around!
... just been with him, don't think I'll be going to work today. He's not well, poor lamb!

longwaytogo · 11/12/2006 08:56

weirdbird thinking of you today, give the hospital a ring and tell them your worries maybe they will check you over.

Going to meet another mumsnetter today.

Dh got up this morning and decided he's not going to work. going to get sick note for 2 weeks. Just worried that he not long into this job and now he's on the sick.

I not feeling brilliant. Worried about him, financial commitments, etc etc.

Please pray he feels a bit better today i'm leaving him for the day but he looks so sad.

MerryChristmasPANDAGHappyNewYe · 11/12/2006 09:03

MOrning all!

Praying wierdbird - how are you this morning? NO news good news I pray. JUst asking for God's perfect peace to be with you honey.

TR - praying boss amenable to days swap.

CD praying for practical support around you.

Mary - how is DS doing?

xena - lovely to see you

sancastles - I will continue to pray for your niece, for peace and rest and pysical and emotional healing. hugs.

I'm just trying to keep Christmas CHRISTmas, and not thingmas as said one of our vicars last night. I haver had some pretty tough advents in the past, where all the doing has meant I was on the verge of depression again, but this year it is different. Still busy, but learning to say no, and praying more. THanks guys

speedySleighmamahohoho · 11/12/2006 09:08

Thank you for your prayers. DH is so impressed with how the DTS (2yo) are mesmorised by the Nativity Story and is happy for them to go to Sunday School. Thank you for your prayers and I'll keep praying too that next year they will have enjoyable experiences at Sunday School.

Notquitesotiredmum · 11/12/2006 09:26

Morning Ladies

Flying by with prayers for all, but especially Weirdbird. Big prayers and big hugs, Hon.

Lovely to read of your dts Speedymama. My dh is certainly not a Christian and I have been blessed with finding a big family friendly church nearby.

TR - praying that all works out well with childminders. Can you find a positive reason to give to your current childminder, for moving on? (eg. dd has a good friend going there, and we have decided that they would benefit from being together? or new childminder is on the way to dh's work and he has offered to take them? That way you don't need to focus on the old childminder as the reason to move>)

CD - praying for help for you in the move, Hon. (Can't understand the problem. You already have two little helpers who will love packing and unpacking things!! ) Seriously though. I'll be praying that your church friends are able to help out. Sounds as if you shouldn't expect MIL to help at all. Then if she does anything it will be a nice surprise.

Right. Housework. Bleeuugghh. Would rather be on MN!

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 11/12/2006 10:24

Ha! Ha! NQSTM - You are absolutely right - we should just leave the DD's to get on with it themselves. I think they would do a cracking job!!

Praying for your niece as she prepares for the funeral on Wed - Lord please put amazing people around her for comfort and support. xx

Did DS get to sleep ok in the end Sooz? We're having a few issues with DD1 atm - she keeps taking her nappy off as soon as she gets in bed and then we are having to change her sheets / Pjs etc 2/3 times a night. She's not ready to go through yet, but doesn't want the nappy on.

Praying for your Minister Worzella - hoping the lumbar puncture / blood patch goes well tomorrow - Hoping the treatment is successful - A miracle Lord, a Miracle .....

How is DS today Mary? Praying he avoids the sickness bug - lots of them going round atm.

lwtg - Hoping your MN meet-up goes well! Continuing to pray for your DH in his sadness - [hugs] to you and him. God loves him and will keep him safe. xxxx

Speedy - Praise God - what fantastic news about your DH being so happy about your DT's being mesmorised by the Nativity - Wonderful - His turn next, me thinks!!

WeirdBird - Darling. I am that you are so scared - Lord keep this precious babe safe - Let him come in your own timing, healthy and strong. Give WB a real sense of your reassurance and your love at this time Lord. Come soon baby!! [[[[[hugs]]]]]]]]

Soooo much to dooooo......

weirdbird · 11/12/2006 16:47

Thank you all, was just feeling so overwhelmed by it all last night and was in tears and didn't know what to do anymore.

Am still here, still pg, DD has her school Nativity tomorrow and she is an Angel so am hoping I get to see that. Really don't feel that great, the increased pressure on my hernia is causing almost constant indigestian now and by the time I could see the Consultant the baby would probably be here...

Please continue to pray, but thank you all because I did sleep last night despite everything I was feeling

HailMary · 11/12/2006 19:02

Hang in there, weirdbird, we're praying for you all! Have a {hug}

Harrisey - WELL DONE to you and DH - you can now have a well deserved rest!

Great news - DSis says to thank you for all your prayers, and she got the job!!! Praise the Lord!

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 11/12/2006 19:53

Yey! harrisey - good news - enjoy the hols!!

Don't be WB - Thank you for your honesty - continuing to pray bubba would come soon; but that he gives you enough time to see your beauitful DD as an Angel in her Christmas play tomorrow!!

Yey! - Great news about your DSis' job - Congratulate her from "some random person you met on the Internet"!!
