Dear Lord...

Please keep my baby and the babies of my friends safe. I pray that you keep the babies safe of the women who I talk to online. I put my trust in you that you know what to do in every situation and know what you have planned for our lives and the lives of our children. Thank you for the blessing that you have already given to me and my friends. In you all things are possible!

Within the past week there have been 2 babies who have died due to placenta abruption. One mom was haeding in to be induced the day after her due date and it turned out that her placenta abrupted the night before (it wasn't a huge tear and she didn't feel anything) and she delivered a stillborn. So that means the baby was full term. The other mom felt the abruption and went in to the hospital right away. They delivered the baby who was then on a respirator but wasn't able to survive off of the respirator and died when they took him off. She was 36 weeks along and the baby was 7.5 lbs. The mothers must be devastated to carry a baby for so long only to have them die. However, God knows what he is doing and now those babies are with Him. I pray for those women who have lost their precious babies. Not only women who have lost full term babies, but women who have lost babies early in their pregnancy. God's timing is wonderful and powerful.

Have faith that He knows exactly what He is doing and why. His reasonings warrant no questions from us.

Hi Leah-

I read your post with tears in my eyes. That would be one of the most tragic things that I think could ever happen to parents...to lose a child. God has His plans for each of us. We must pray that we have the strength to get through whatever He wants for us. And He will always be there, even in our darkest times. Not our will, but His. Praying for you with love, Joyce

I was at church and the sermon was on the will of GOD, may HIS will be done. when we say that we trust that also means the good bad and ugly. HArd for me to swallow. God is GOD!!! He knows whats best for his children even if it hurts like HELL. . . May your heart be filled with peace. I will pray for those women who lost their babies. Cant wait to hold your baby girl pretty soon!!! Love ya
