Just nipping by to say hello to everyone

Hello.

MrsCadwallader · 18/02/2010 07:48

Hello everyone - and happy Lent!

I'm continuing to read and pray - hello to PrammyMammy, and my prayers for you and for Sean.

I quick prayer request for today, please, that I might face the day with grace and good humour..... I was really looking forward to my kids being on half-term. Between them being at school and me studying through every weekend (while my husband takes over) I feel I hardly see them, so I was really looking forward to spending time with them and actually having some fun together.

But...... they have been ill! Nothing major, just an unidentified high temperature for 24 hours each, one after the other, and generally feeling listless and headachy. Today, I thought we were all better and had planned to go out somewhere, but DS2 has woken up with a temp of 38

So, it will be another day stuck indoors with 3 boys! I feel awful that my first reaction was irritation and swearing under my breath, and not compassion and sympathy for my poor son!

So, please, prayers for grace and good humour to see me through today, as I build endless train tracks and lego and try to channel the energy of the two well boys while caring for the not-so-well one Thanks

Hermya321 · 18/02/2010 09:02

Hello all,

I'm delurking and I'm going to ask for some prayer if that would be ok?

I found out that I'm pregnant last weekend and now every ache and twinge causes me to panic. Could you just pray for peace and that I'll trust in God to lead me through this one.

Thanks

DutchOma · 18/02/2010 09:38

Welcome Hermya and congratulations on your pregnancy. Pray that all will be well with your 'little bean'. It sounds there might be a story behind this pregnancy?

Mrs C, what a shame for the children to be ill one after the other, it would have been so much easier if you could have been either in 'sick' mode or in 'well'. Hopefully you will have the weekend when you will all be well.
Blessings for all

DutchOma · 18/02/2010 10:20

From the other thread PrammyMammy, it sounds as if you could do with a few prayers yourself?

PrammyMammy · 18/02/2010 13:30

I forgot to name change ahh! Yes i probably could do. Thank you Oma. I didn't think anyone noticed.

DutchOma · 18/02/2010 14:33

Consider it done, dearie. Have you got the support of your local church?

barleywood · 18/02/2010 18:14

Hermya, congratulations on your pregnancy. I pray that you will find peace.

Hermya321 · 18/02/2010 18:37

DutchOma It's my first pregnancy and it was a bit of a shock, a nice shock, but a shock none the less. I just want everything to be well and I really really don't want anything bad to happen. My anxiety levels are gone through the roof since I found out.

madhairday · 18/02/2010 19:23

I will pray for you Hermya, is there any reason to be anxious in particular apart from the usual pg thing? Congratulations by the way
Mrs C, hope your boys are better soon and today went OK. prayers.

MrsCadwallader · 18/02/2010 19:44

Thanks everyone - the day went surprisingly well, clearly your prayers are very effective However, we had to go and pick up DH from work this afternoon because he suddenly developed a raging temperature! I'm now waiting for my turn!

Hermya - congratulations My prayers for a happy and healthy pregnancy. I sympathise - I was a bundle of anxiety throughout all of my (3) pregnancies for no real reason at all other than not quite daring to believe that I could be so lucky. But, God has you in his hands and will care for you.

BlueEyeshadow · 18/02/2010 21:07

Hello, it seems minor compared to some stuff on here but would really welcome prayers for DS2 who is full of cold and can't sleep - consequently noone else can either. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and a good night's sleep is desperately needed.

Also for a family job hunt.

PrammyMammy · 18/02/2010 23:43

I do, my church is great, honestly without them i can not imagine where i would be. Everyone is taking time to make sure i am fine. It is lovely.
Blueeye, i am just heading to bed, your family will be in my prayers.

DutchOma · 19/02/2010 09:13

Oh Soozi, welcome back. I've missed you too and your boing.
Glad to hear it Prammy, hope they keep it up. Was D P part of the church too?
Hope you got a night's sleep Blueeyedshadow, I turned the 'puter off early, so didn't see it. How old is ds2?

amberlight · 19/02/2010 14:21

Still praying for everyone.

Hermya321 · 19/02/2010 16:21

Madhairlady No particular reason, just normal pg worries. I just want this LO to stay put. I'm just anxious with it all and so is DH. But, I'm not as worried as I was the other day. So prayers are working, thank you guys!!

I'll be praying for you as well!!

BlueEyeshadow · 19/02/2010 16:43

DS2 is 5.5 mths. Slept slightly better last night but still not great. His breathing seems better today though.

weegiemum · 20/02/2010 09:22

Just swinging by to ask for a coupe of prayers,

for my family - my uncle died last night of prostate cancer, so for his wife and grown-up children and my dad, who is distraught, they were close and it was his little brother.

for my friend S, who was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. She has two little boys. The news is as good as it could be - it hasnt spread, she only needs a lumpectomy not mastectomy, but still, very worrying for them all.

Thanks a lot.

MrsCadwallader · 20/02/2010 09:37

Oh, weegiemum, I'm so sorry. My prayers for your family, that they might find some peace and comfort.

And for S as well.

CaptainDippy · 20/02/2010 21:49

Oh my, haven't been on since before half term Hello all!! Hope you have survived the week

It's been good in DippyLand and I've been very blessed to have DH off this week, so we have had a super week: visiting friends and new babies (definitely NOT broody now ); going to London to see the (free) sights with oldest DDs; soft play galore; haircuts; tea and cake and general family niceness It has been good

Hello PrammyMummy, Hermya and BlueEyeShadow (very 80's ) Always nice to see de-lurkers How is Sean atm PrammyMummy? Prayers for him. How far along are you Hermya? I am sure you will feel much better and a bit more relaxed once you have had your first scan Congratulations!!! Been a while since we had a new baby on the thread Glad to hear your DS has picked up a bit BES and you got some sleep last night Prayers for his continued recovery. xx

WM, I am so sorry to hear about your Uncle Prayers especially for his wife and children. Words are not enough; and for S too - pleased it is only "minor" surgery and not the "whole hog" so to speak. Prayers for and those closest to her as she goes through the treatment. Praise God it is treatable! xx

PA - any more news on the Minister with the tumour? Prayers for him and his family.

Am baby-sitting for friend. Quite enjoying the peace and quiet

DS2 now coughing again. Looks like sleep will be in short supply agaim tonight. Yawn. It's been dragging on and wearing us all down.

MaryBS · 21/02/2010 07:43

Only a flying visit, but just wanted to say WB Sooz!

Will be back later, but am taking the 9am service and preaching, and then preaching again at the 10:30am service...

CaptainDippy · 21/02/2010 10:07

How was your night in the end BES?

BlueEyeshadow · 21/02/2010 14:02

Once he did get to sleep at about 11.30 he then slept through till 5.30, which is the best we've done for ages. Yay! Unfortunately DS1 then woke up too and none of us got back to sleep.

Please Lord let that not be a fluke!
