Update from New Zealand

Hi ladies,

Sorry I have not been posting as regularly or as long winded as normal.
The fact is I am TIRED and my brain is not working at full speed ( I am not sure it ever was lol)
I guess three first trimesters back to back will do that to a person.

I AM reading all the posts and often think I should reply to that but then by the time I have waded through trying to find the original email rather then the responses to it my point or answer is usually a moot point lol.
The kids are all fine and healthy ( including the one that is still inside the womb) Mark is working hard as always including every Sat so the only day we are all together is Sunday.

I have my 15 week midwife appointment tomorrow but it is pretty routine.

I would like to ask for prayer for an online involvement/ministry. A dear friend from Australia Rachel who lost her little boy Benjamin in Sept last year set up an email loop/ ministry called Rachels Children for Christian mothers who had suffered a loss of a child up to and including the first year. The group is not huge but right now Rachel is having major marital problems and has had to go offline, I took over moderating the group for her.
The thing is it can become quite emotionally taxing as we have had several new pregnancies occur within the last few weeks and to put it bluntly I now have a group of ladies half of whom are freaking out every five minutes.

I am only one step ahead of them in my own pregnancy and although I have had two losses back to back I still don't think I am as emotionally fragile as some of these sweet ladies seem to be. Please pray for all of them when and if the Lord brings them to mind.
We have mothers ranging from early miscarriages right up to SIDS losses so it is a broad range of worries.
Having said that the majority of them are VERY strong Christians.
Anyway that is me for now. Love ya all
Wendy

Wendy, it is great to hear from you. I hope all will go well at your appointment. It is so sad to hear about the situations of the women you mentioned. I guess the good thing is that they are Christian women! I will be keeping them all in my prayers!
