20 days
13February 11, 2013 by narvyspeaks
Twenty days. Twenty days. This is what my pregnancy app tells me this morning, that my baby is due to be born in a mere 20 days. How can it be so close?
Throughout this pregnancy — through the excitement of amazingly strong kicks, tiny hiccups, and a steady little heartbeat…as well as the silent moments when we both sit and stare wistfully at my belly, and the times when we cry tears of heartbreak — neither hubs nor I have felt like we’ve been in denial about what’s going on. I’ve tried to gather useful medical information so I’m aware of what’s going on, I’ve tried to make arrangements that will help our time with our son be as meaningful and stress-free as possible, and I’ve tried to savour the time we’ve had together as a family of three. In the past couple of weeks, however, I think I’ve been taking such a ‘practical’ view of the situation that I’ve been pushing away the reality of TIME. Today it is hitting me.
Today is a really tough day. Today I’m thinking about, but hating to think about, having to let go of my little boy — having to say goodbye.
If you pray, could you pray for peace for me today?
Praying that our Father, the God of comfort and peace, will send you exactly what you need today. I love you.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
Shedding a little tear as I read this and certainly offering up my prayer for you, your husband and your son.
Love you, praying for you.
I am praying for you and Mike. Thank you for sharing openly and allowing others to see your heart. Not easy to share at that level, I admire that very much Annette. Your posts have touched my heart. Praying for Gods peace, comfort and an awareness of His presence.
You are in my prayers and thoughts today. I will be praying.
Love you and definitely praying for you!!!!
Crying and praying with you,
My prayers have been mixed with lots of tears today, Annette, but I’m holding you up to the Lord.
I’m so glad He understands…
Praying for you all! May Jesus send you supernatural peace today.
I pray for you very often, Annette. May God bring healing for you.
Praying that God’s peace that transcends all understanding guards your hearts and minds today and ongoing. Lots of love and prays….
My heart re-breaks for you, what an emotional journey.
…Keeping you in my prayers this evening…I know and understand your pain…
