Happy First Day of Spring!

I braved 9 degree cold and high winds to go get some pictures of our first day of Spring.  Have to say I've never seen a spring that looks like this!

39 weeks

9 weeks and hoping this will be the last bump picture I share with you all!

Your Baby in Week 39 of Pregnancy

Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon.

For Women Near the Time of Child Birth.....

When we pray with or for those women that are near the time of travail or in travail ~

"Lord, thou hast passed this sentence upon the woman that was first in the transgression, (1 Timothy 2:14) that in sorrow she shall bring forth children. (Genesis 3:16). But let this handmaid of thine be saved in child-bearing, and continue in faith and charity and holiness, with sobriety.(1 Timothy 2:15). Enable her to cast her burden upon the Lord, and let the Lord sustain her; Psalm 55:22 and what time she is afraid, grant that she may trust in thee (Psalm 56:3) and may encourage herself in the Lord her God. (1 Samuel 30:6.)

O let not the root be dried up from beneath, nor let the branch be withered or cut off; (Job 18:16) but let both live before thee. Be thou her strong habitation, her rock, and her fortress, give commandment to save her.( Psalm 71:3). And when travail comes upon her, which she cannot escape, be pleased, O Lord, to deliver her;( 1 Thessalonians 5:3). O Lord, make haste to help her; (Psalm 40:13) be thou thyself her help and deliverer, make no tarrying, O our God. (Psalm 40:17). Let her be safely delivered and remember the anguish no more, for joy that a child is born into the world, is born unto thee.( John 16:21.)"
