Just a quick note. Silly really with so many urgent prayer requests going up, but if you could offer a prayer for strength for the home stretch. The baby is due on the 24th and I am super tired all of a sudden as I turn the corner for the last leg of the pregnancy and I suddenly feel as if I weight 300 pounds which makes it hard to get around!  I am also super scared of labor for some reason, which is rather ridiculous since this is my 9th baby!!! (maybe I know too much  ) Anyway, I have been super cranky and just want to sleep, which is not possible obviously. So, a prayer for energy and peace of mind if you have time, and that little Louisa Marie will be delivered and be safe and sound!
************UPDATE***************************************
We delivered a healthy baby on Thanksgiving Day! To our surprise, "Louisa Marie" ended up being a "William Anthony"! He is gorgeous from head to toe!  Unfortunately, I had a partial abruption that resulted in needing a timely c-section to prevent further bleeding and complications. We were blessed to have it all go well in the end, and I appreciate your prayers for a safe and healthy delivery since it seems as if they were definately needed.
I do struggle with a bit of depression due to the need for the c-section which means I will always have to have c-sections from here on out and the realization that any future pregnancy will be a high risk one needing an early c-section. So, I have been struggling with that a bit, although I have 9 children, so what am I complaining about, but perhaps it is just the realization that I'm not a spring chicken anymore and the priviledge of childbirth might be coming to a close. And, frankly, the whole experience was very scary and freaked me out so much so that I am sort of afraid of ever having to go through any of that again. So, please pray for peace of mind concerning all of that as I rejoice in having a sweet little man to hold one more time. Perhaps he'll forgive the pink bouncy chair and blankets as it has been 10 years since we had a boy and I have a whole dresser full of pink clothes!!

Oh Kim! I got pretty anxious before my last labor, too. It all turned out just fine! 
Praying you through this time. Just keep your eyes focused on the prize!

Praying. . .I think all mothers, no matter how many children they have had are scared at the end.
Praying for peace and comfort.

NOT silly at all, Kim. Oh, how I've needed perseverance at the end of my last few. I totally relate. Praying!

I know just how you feel! My 9th was born in September. She was 20 days LATE. Talk about a walking, talking, hormonal monster, I was the worst. Praying for you, it does come to an end...
What a beautiful, feminine name. I love the name Louisa. Thanks to the 4 Real board I have all kinds of baby names picked out.

Thank you all so much for the prayers. I could really feel the grace this evening after a very emotionally draining day and frenzied cleaning/nesting day. (I even vacuumed the spice cabinet and organized them all! Husband was home and did all the school for me today. What a blessing.)
This evening I felt peaceful and calm and then realized it was due to everyone's prayers, so thank you all so much for taking the time to pray for Baby Louisa and me. It is nice to be showered with graces when body and spirit seem to be losing steam.
God bless!

Praying Kim, I remember feeling particularly heavy with my Annuncia at the end, more so than with any other baby, it's like running a horse race, your endurance is stretched, right to the very end! (We've just had our Melbourne Cup here in Australia, hence my analogy )
