I'm going to be bold and ask for prayers here for myself 
Firstly I'm due in two days the 28th and I'm getting very antsy, nervous about the birth just normal worries, you know, it's going to HURT.  Also I'm praying that I won't have the baby on my other children's birthday's or the day before or after. Genevieve's birthday's on the 30th and Malachi's is the 6th July.
Also I'm asking for peace and trust in God regards our future. Last month dh resigned from his job, he had enough. He finishes up on the 7th, taking a week off in between whenever I have the baby. He is very relaxed about it all and confident in God. And I am too really, also dh is very employable  Dh plans on taking a holiday before he looks for further work, he needs one, after 5 yrs working there he still has 2 and half months holidays he didn't use.
I guess I'm just nesting and wanting to KNOW what the future holds. His new job could well entail moving and leaving all our friends and simple lifestyle  Dh says I just need to trust in God and relax, I can do the trusting its the relaxing, I want to nest
I know you're all such wonderful prayer warriors, thank you in advance

Praying for peace and a good delivery.
Three of your children share a name with mine. We also have a Dominique, Xavier and Gabriel. Can't wait to see what you will name this one.

Here they are.
Marie Ève Sara, Joseph Marcel François-Xavier, Joseph Dominique Gabriel, Joseph Nicolas Augustin, Joseph Etienne Sébastien, Marie Elizabeth Lydia, Joseph Alexandre Raphaël, Joseph Samuel Félix, Joseph Seth Matthias, Joseph Maxime Dominique, Joseph Ambroise Laurence.
On my blog I use their second name (except for Sara and Xavier, who are respectively Marie-Ève, and François). But here at home we use the last one, a French Canadian tradition. As well as all the boys having Joseph for their first name and all girls Marie.

Praying!
I have found that offering each contraction for a special intention helps a lot. Usually, I offer my labors for someone who is having difficulty conceiving, pregnant, or sick. However, you could also offer your labor for your own intentions.

Erin,
Try to not to anticipate pain. Each labor is different. Focus on the fact that you will be snuggling your new Sweet Treasure very soon. Imagine the joy on your other children's faces when they meet their new sibling.
Enjoy this special time with your husband, too. What a perfect time to have him home. He sounds like a faith-filled man.
We will be praying for you and your intentions.
Blessings,

Praying here, too, Erin. I like Kristina's advice about the pain, offering up each contraction for a specific intention. I thought I had prepared myself for the pain during my last labor, but when things really picked up at the end, I experienced a lot of fear about the actual delivery. BUT, the pushing was such a relief and not painful at all. When it was all over, the real pain was so short, especially in comparison to all the wonderful days since!
I'm saying all this to try to comfort you when I'm probably doing the opposite! Anyway, you'll be in my prayers these next few days! You can do it, Erin!
