hello all

good to see you mufti

podmog, praying honey.

swaliswan, praying for DC2 whether s/he is already conceived or not.

please pray for me. the friends whose DC I was looking after had gone for a job interview, and he got and accepted the job. So right for them, it is God's will I am sure, but they are moving so far away, I will miss them so much. THeir eldest has always been like an older sister for DS, and their youngest is my \godson, and I love their children almost like my own, I've childminded all of them in the past, and we holiday together every year.
my friends rreally speak God in to my life, I know we will continue to be friends at a physical distance, and with skype etc will be able to keep in touch. just gutted I will miss their DC growing up.

I know it is God's will, and I prayed and prayed for them to be fruitful, and I know this is the outworking, but if I am honest I so wanted this to be the 'practice' interview, and a job to come up for them down the road next week. My ways are not His ways, I know, butg I am just so sad. Another friend said how sad about them moving on tghe playground, and I just burst into tears, and cried all the way round to the juniors and all the way home and am sat here now crying my eyes out. I almost wish they were moving sooner, get the agony of the next 6 months wait out of the way

DutchOma · 05/02/2008 17:58

Oh Panda {{{{hugs}}}}

mufti · 05/02/2008 18:02

thanks DO, as long as she doesn't feel sorry for me

mufti · 05/02/2008 18:06

how far PandaG?, you can visit in the holidays perhaps.
that's tough , good friends are so important.
but they will still be friends obviously

DutchOma · 05/02/2008 18:10

Kim is lovely, Mufti and would not make you feel bad. I'll give her a ring tonight and see what she says ok?

mufti · 05/02/2008 18:11

yes, thank you.

NorthernLurker · 05/02/2008 18:15

Evening allPanda - it is hard when people move away isn't it?SS - well that could be exciting then - praying for possible baby no 2! Ugh - have hit a bit of a snag with my return to work - basically I thought I would be able to do x no of hours but it seems that I can't - and they may or may not be posts open at other hours and I may or may not have to go back to my old job - that I was doing pre-pregnancy. Before I went on M/L I was doing a higher level job on a temporary basis and was led to believe that there would be a permanent one when I came back from M/L - well there might be but I have of course to apply for it and I'm not feeling very hopeful. I hate the uncertainty, am periodically getting myself in a wax about it. I know I shouldn't, I know I should trust God with this - then I get more in a wax because I've forgotten and started worrying again. Prayers appreciated please!

My apologies ladies for swearing on the thread yesterday , even if I was quoting my dfriend!!

Quietly praying for my nuchal scan tomorrow. I don't know why I'm nervous. I think maybe its because my friend who mc'd at 12 weeks found out there was a problem at the 12 week scan, despite having been scanned the week before. It was a genetic problem which meant the placenta would not develop properly and the pg would not progress beyond 16 weeks. Very rare but unnerving too iyswim?
I would really appreciate prayers of peace and comfort. Scan is around 9.15am tomorrow. HOpe to be able to post pics and good news tomorrow evening!

NorthernLurker · 05/02/2008 20:32

Hi CC - I missed you swearing will pray about scan. I didn't have the nuchal as they don't do that here - just the triple test (although I didn't have that either come to that) But I do remember feeling very nervous before my 12 week scan - no reason to be - just nervous. I will look forward to the pictures

DutchOma · 05/02/2008 20:34

Mufti, Kim will be very happy to meet you. If you could e.mail me at the address on my profile I will send you her number, or e.mail her with your number, whatever.

How about this for a God-incidence? Last week I emailed a fellow trainee re: problems I'd been having and how at one stage I'd been thinking of giving up.

This morning, on the way in, I prayed and asked God to let me know, somehow, whether I was still "on the right track" and that he wanted to me to continue.

When I got to work there was an email from fellow trainee to say "God hasn't changed his mind about you training, I can guarantee it!"

I sat there at my desk, almost in tears!

Off out now, taking kids into town for the library. Can you believe they've cancelled the "after school mobile library" for our village, so the only time it visits is in the daytime! I'm going to find someone to complain to, there was no consultation, and as it parked right near the school, it was REALLY popular with the children!

NorthernLurker · 06/02/2008 17:35

Mary that is amazing! But then God is amazing after all What a shame about the library - how stupid! Try your cuncil website to find out who is responsible for it!

CaptainCaveman · 06/02/2008 17:45

PRAISE GOD!! Scan fine, little bean is 66mm and they've changed my due date (again) to Aug 14th. Downs risk is 1 in a thousand and something (same risk as a 15 yr old the mw told me ). Didn't get to see girl or boy bits as scanner was only doing nuchal measurements plus head circumference and crown to rump length.
Brilliant. Am totally over the moon and chilled out now!! Thank you so much for all your prayers xxx
