PREGNANCY Prayer/Positive thoughts Chain - Page 5

Hi All,

Well, I am still hanging on. I talked to a nurse today because I needed a refill on my PIO. I asked her why she thought my 2nd beta didn't double and she said it could very well have been a 2nd embie that was trying to implant but just didn't. She said my progesterone level dropped to 11 so that's why they increased me from 1cc to 1.5cc but I am going to take 2 cc. One in the AM and one in the PM. I know that you can never have enough progesterone.

Jennifer...I just PM'd you. Thank you again.

And I am praying for you all

Michele,
I am glad to hear from you. I am glad to hear that the nurse was still positive. I will be keeping you in my prayers and hope to hear more from you soon. I know hanging in limbo and just waiting is so hard, but I feel as though you have put it in the hands of God. I am here if you need to talk. Pm me or email me!
Cristi

Sherry,
Welcome to the thread. Thank you for such powerful and heartfelt words. Your cousin is very wise, what wonderful wisdom that she shared and thank you for sharing it with us. I am glad to have you along with us, it seems to give folks a sense of comfort to know that there are others praying for you and with you. God bless you as you minister to us here at Soul Cysters.

Welcome, Sherry! Thanks for joining us and for the reminder that God fulfills all the desires of our hearts in His time. I have to keep that in mind. I love the praise song "In His Time" because it's about that very fact. That song helped me a lot as I was waiting for God to bless us with this pregnancy. Also Joyce Meyer's tape on Patience and patient endurance was/is helpful to me.

Michele, I'm still praying for you and your pregnancy too. I know it must be so hard to just trust God at this time, but He is right there with you, waiting to comfort you and help you now.

God's Peace to all,

Julie

Thank You Cristi and Julie for all your prayers. I will surely need them tomorrow.

Welcome Sherry...your cousin words are so sweet.

Hi ladies! It's been a few days and I just wanted to check in and see how everything is going. I will continue to pray for whatever healing my cysters may need. I have had a particular song on my mind since my ordeal ? started last week. It's a song about Job and his years of faith. The refrain says:

he waited...and waited...he waited...and waited. he didn't know when. he didn't know how. he knew that God's delay was not a denial. he waited on God.

This has given me some peace and I am feeling stronger each day.
Blessings to all!!

Thank you all so much for your prayers. I do have a praise report about Tyler. He is responding very well to his therapy. This weekend was a very special time at St. Jude's. A ton of stars come to visit with the kids and their families: Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Brittany Spears, Robin Williams, Marlo Thomas of course, and countless others. Tyler and his familiy really enjoyed it. We've told them often that hundres of people they don't even know are praying for them. Thanks again.

Mich, just remember that God answers all our needs: known, and unknown. Stay strong and rely on Him.

I will continue to pray for you all.

Hi everyone. Please pray for Tabitha, expectant mom of twinm girls who I haven't seen on this board in a couple weeks.

Also please pray for my twin girls. My cervix continues to shorten and is now down to 2.2.

Thanks for your prayers!!

Michele -- that's fantastic news about your beta! I will keep you in my prayers.

leisa -- I will say a prayer for Tabitha and her twin girls. I hope that everything is fine and they are doing well. I will also keep you and your twins in my prayers.

Shabach -- that is great news about Tyler, I'm so glad he is responding to his treatment. Their weekend with the stars must have been very special.

Yvette -- what a wonderful song, it's very inspiring. I'm so glad that you are feeling stronger and have some peace. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.

Sherrylynn · 04-29-2003, 02:03 AM

Just checking in.

Michele- I'm soooo happy for you and will continue to pray for doubling numbers and a healthy pregnancy. I completely understand how you can want for a baby so much it just hurts inside. I got to the point I almost couldn't be around children because it just made my heart hurt.

Shabach- What wonderful news about Tyler!!! I will pray for continuing successful treatments.

Leisa- I will pray for you and your girls as well as for Tabitha

Sherry

Michele -- thanks for letting us know about your great beta and P4 numbers! I will continue to keep you and your little one in my prayers. Things sound very positive!

Shabach -- thanks for the update also. It sounds like God is really working in Tyler's life right now, too. I will continue to lift him up in prayer.

Leisa -- I'm praying for you and your twins, and for Tabitha and her twins. Keep us updated on how you're doing, and if you hear from Tabitha. I think of you often, as I'm sure it must be really tough being on total bedrest. You're in my heart and prayers!

I'm heading up north this morning for another u/s, and we might possibly be able to pick up the baby's heartbeat. I'm 6w1d today, so it's still kinda early. So far, God has blessed me and the little one with good results and good health in all tests so far. Please pray that He continues His blessings and the news today is positive, if it be His will! I'll update you all later!!

God's Love and Peace to all,

Julie

cmeredith · 04-29-2003, 03:29 PM

Hey gals!
I just thought that I would check in and see how everyone was doing.

Michele, I am glad that you have received better news. I know that your heart must be so elated right now. I am praying that the good news just keeps on coming to you and your family. Keep us posted.

Yvette, I was glad to see your post. I have been praying for you and dh. I was so stilled by the words of the song. It was great for me to read them and even say them in my mind. It was so much like God saying to me, " be still and know that I am God, I will work things in My time, not yours." Thanks for that reminder. Even though I am not ttc, there are still things that I am waiting on. God Bless you for sharing that.

Shabach, Wow God is so Good!!!! It is great to hear that Tyler is responding to his treatment. St. Jude's is such a wonderful place for children. My cousin was there for quite some time when we were 13. He had osteosarcoma and had to have his leg amputated. He is now 32 and is cancer free. Praise be to God!!!!
Keep us posted on Tyler.

Leisa, I am praying for Tabitha and her girls. I hope that things are okay for her. I am praying for you too. I hope that you hang on a little longer. I delivered DD at 29 weeks, she is doing great. She is 7 years old, in the 1st grade and you would never know that she was a preemie. God has been so good to me. I am asking Him to put you and those little ones in His great big hands and hold you close.

Julie, How did things go today? I prayed that things would be good, can't wait to hear. That was such a precious time, getting to see that little one inside you makes it all so real. Let us know as soon as you can!!!!

My mother in law is still not doing what she should, she gets mad at us when we mention anything about her blood sugar. It is so scary to me to think that she is not taking care of herself. We have told her the consequences that she would suffer if she didn't do as the dr said, and it is like it just goes in one ear and out the other. Please, cysters, keep praying for all of us. Thanks!

God Bless You all!!!!!!!!!

Cristi and everyone,

Thank you for your prayers. God continues His wonderful blessings in our lives. Our baby has a strong, healthy heartbeat!!

And s/he's the perfect size for 6w1d. Everything is as it should be. My p4 is 78, too, which is excellent, as it only needs to be at 20 to be healthy right now. This is all so amazing, I just know God is at work here. Because we're talking about my body, which used to do NOTHING on its own, not even have periods. And now here's this pregnancy progressing beautifully, without my body needing any kind of extra support at all. He is the great Healer!!

I also got our due date, December 23rd!! How awesome, eh? The greatest Christmas gift ever, direct from God! I think it would be really cool if the baby came on the 24th, the same date that Nate and I were engaged and the night of Jesus birth!

But whenever! I'm ready for him/her to come in God's time, not mine!

Peace to all,

Julie

shabach · 04-29-2003, 05:56 PM

Julie, congrats! I was born on Christmas Day and I, and my whole family, absolutely love to celebrate my birthday on Christ's birthday. My son thinks it is really cool.

Ya'll are so awesome with your prayers. My husband has a job interview tomorrow!

Im praying for all of you. Tabitha and the twins, Leisa, and Christi's MIL will be in good health in the wonderful name of Jesus!

What a mighty God we serve!
