Quick update/prayer request..

[Ashlee]

Hi everyone!:D I thought I would pop in and give everyone a quick update and ask you ladies to say a prayer for me and baby.

I will be 37 weeks (full term.. so they say) this Monday. I do not feel at all big enough to for this baby to come so I'm really praying babes stays put and grows for at least another 3 weeks. I hate feeling like this.. I did this with all of my babies though and my lightest one was G at 7lbs 11oz. Dh keeps reminding me of that. It doesn't help that everywhere I go people ask how far along I am and when I tell them they go on and on about how tiny I am. I know they probably think they are giving me a compliment but it doesn't make me feel good.. it makes me stress more about the babies weight. I. do. not. know. whyyy I stress like this!!! So what if the baby is only 6lbs.. there are plenty of 6lbers or less that are perfectly healthy. And there are some 8lbers that are not. I need to just keep praying for a healthy baby no matter how much it weighs! This pregnancy has been a lot different then my others though.. there are other issues causing me to stress like this.. don't want to go into detail about that right now. I just really need peace about this. So if you think of me and baby please say a quick prayer for us. Thanks so much ladies. Love you all!

HI Ash! Will keep you in my prayers specifically for peace over your stress. Praying for the perfect labor and delivery when the Lord says its time. I have had a sickly 7.11 pounder and a healthy 3 pounder(she did require nicu stay though)! Trust that whatever happens you and your baby will be perfectly cared for no matter the circumstances. You're doing great, hang in there, hopefully for while yet. I was a nervous wreck during my pregnancies too, so I understand how fear can really creep up on you sometimes.

If you ever need a listening ear remember I'm only an email away sweetie.

Hugs and prayers

Don't worry!! I was in the same boat as you ~ E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E always told me how small I was and how I could be ___ weeks preggo! I wanted to slug them! Yes I know how to count, yes I know when I had sex, HOLY COW!!

Just hang on there, you'll be fine! My dd was born the day after her 'due' date and was a healthy 6lb 10oz.
