This has been weighing on my heart for days. I cannot say anything that others have so eloquently expressed. We *are* praying. God's will be done ...

I'm going to kill my son.

(OK----no, I won't.)

Kristine and Marilyn, thank you, too.

NINA (and ALL the Murphys, who LIVE for babies--esp. my 15 year old son...) THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

God bless all of you today, and I am remembering every single family at Mass in thanksgiving.

You give me courage!

Dear Friends,

I am still pregnant-YEA! Thanks be to God, and to you powerful prayer warriors---despite struggles to keep a sense of humor and serenity, and lots of family stress, I have FELT something keeping me going. I have FELT the prayers. Please don't stop!

I actually do not fear CF so much as the bleeding-contracting-hospitalizations-having another preemie. And the road ahead of me is long, and I already feel defeated in many ways (like: I can't handle homeschooling, I can't handle cooking, I can't handle much! ) But you all praying gives me hope every single day.

Please continue to pray for my family as we enter the sick season as Joey (3, w/ CF) has presented with wheezing/coughing; Clare's (5, w/ CF) appetite has decreased---which is a harbinger...., and Andrew (1, no CF) appears to have picked up a vomiting/diarrhea bug.

Thank you again for any and all prayers and support.

Nina, you truly are an amazing and inspiring person. Thank you so much for your presence and generosity on this board, giving strength to so many of us.

I'm glad to hear your pregnancy is progressing. When are you due?

I will continue to keep you and all your precious children in my prayers.

Noreen,

You are an angel!

I am only 8 1/2 weeks...I am due May 11th. (I heard if you make it to 8 weeks, that's a good sign? My miscarriage before Andrew was at 7 1/2 wks. And I'm a cramper.)

Nina,

My 3 girls were all born in May! Mary Beth was born May 24, Anna was born May 8, and Lucia was born May 16 (I was REALLY hoping for May 13, the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima!) It's a lovely month to have a baby!

Nina, your Andrew shares his birthday with me :) 2 of my little girls were born in May, Mary was born on May 13th, Our Lady of Fatima, and the previous day was mothers day, I labored with her that whole day, she was born at 12:21 am! :) Still praying for you.

Nina,
I'm sorry to hear your battling illness in your home with all your little ones!

Please be assured of my prayers and sacrifices for you. My OB told me that making it past 8 weeks is a very good sign. My miscarriage in Jan. was betw. 6 and 7 weeks, making it past the 8 week mark this pregnancy (I'm due in early Jan) was such a comfort to me!   

I'd love a May baby--I've never had one...though I did have my little Therese Marie on Mary's birthday two years ago!

Thank you, Jennifer. Thank you, Lisa. Thank you, Dawn! Having everyone speak about May really gets me remembering Our Lady has a hand in everything and that I need to trust and call to mind her words to Juan Diego, "Am I not your mother?"

Thank you, Jennifer for the encouragement about the 8 wk. marker. I know plenty of saintly women God has asked to bear 2nd trimester losses, so I know it is a constant docility and acceptance under His hand....we just never know His mysterious designs, what they will be. But I'm heartened anyway, to hear you say your doc said that!
