Hope-Pray-Trust: Can I Pray For You?

I had a bit of a scare last night. I woke up and was feeling crampy. Not just the usual achy, mildly crampy pregnancy feeling. These reminded me of period cramps. The kind I got the day or two before they got really bad. Then I noticed there was a peak in each cramp and they were lasting about a minute. So I grabbed my phone so I could time them. I was panicking! I'm only 34 weeks so I'm definitely not ready for labor. Mary-Grace still has a little cooking to do. :) Thankfully after about an hour the went away completely and there never was a real regular pattern. I called my doc this morning and she didn't seem to worried but wanted me to call if it happened again.

Anyhoo...

It got me to thinking. And for the first time in my life I've decided not to put everything off until the last possible second. I really have a bad habit of that and I'm slowly trying to work on it. :) Besides, no one in my family makes it to their due date. So if there's a genetic component to it, I may not either.

As I've mentioned before, K and I are taking Brad.ley classes and I have absolutely every intention of doing this drug free! I will be using Kaitlin as my inspiration. :) I figure I will have lots to offer up for you ladies. :) I'm going to make a list and have K read the requests to me. I will do my best to pray for each one. K has also said he will pray for all of the requests too.

So, if any of you have a prayer request (or two, or three) you want me to pray for please leave me a little note in the comment box. If you want your request to be private you can email me at ktmathewson at gmail dot com. Lurkers (if any of you are out there) I want to pray for you too! Don't be shy. :)

I also realize that I've got about 6 weeks left and things in your lives may change before then. If they do, don't hesitate to email me a new request. I'll try to remember to post about this again in a few weeks. :)

Have a great Thursday ladies! K bought me this last night...

I may be eating it for lunch! :)

Prayers for my husband and I (Jason and Sarah) for children. We've been struggling with sub/infertility for about 5-6 years now.
Thanks and good luck with labour and delivery!

Sounds like some good Braxton-Hicks contractions! I had those from around 30 weeks until 36 when I delivered. Drink a lot of water-- it helps with the pain/likelihood of occurance.

Silly prayer- my recipes are all missing and I'm going crazy. More serious prayer- that colonoscopy goes well.

Okay WHERE DID HE GET THAT ICE CREAM?? I must have some.

And please pray for me in general...specifically for peace and calm, closeness to God and success for my surgery.

Haha I don't ask for much do I?? :)

Please pray that God's will be done with regards to our family's job situation. And that Hannah will continue to grow strong and healthy.

And you need to call me and chat about birth! Email me your phone number!

Oooh yes! Would you please pray for my DH, Rob? He will be having a revision of a septoplasty (nose stuff), a tonsillectomy and a uvulectomy on 3/10 and recovery is supposed to be really rough 10-14 days :(

That ice cream looks delish, by the way!
