Hi
Could you please say a prayer for my pregnancy as I am dealing with awful varicose veins already. I'll be 16 weeks this week and can only stand for a few minutes at a time. The upside I guess is I am forced to sit more so have been taking advantage of the time to read more to everyone, even my teens. The downside is that my teenage son has to sit and listen to me read more:) I'm really not used to having to slow down so early. Spring seems so far off.

Chris, for some reason, I felt a bit better just now when you said "already"... Praying for and thinking of you as your due date inches closer.

It's true! It seems like just last week you announced that you were expecting. I cannot believe that you are nearly half-way there!

And thank you for the prayers ... my body is already starting to feel the effects of carrying two babies, things are getting more and more challenging as the days and weeks progress.

Thank you everyone for your prayers. I found a support garment online that is made differently than the ones I've tried with past pregnancies..., I hope it arrives soon!
