    Please pray the God will direct me, helping me to be at peace, and to overcome the emotional state I am in as a pregnant woman.

    Today Alex & I interviewed a doula, and will most likely hire her to be with us during the birth. The one I originally wanted to hire had to get a day job, so is not as available, but she referred me to this one who has been under her mentorship. The only snag is that she has a weekend training with her clients for which childcare is not provided. The next one is on Memorial Day weekend when my folks were planning on being out of town.

    When I called mom about it, she seemed very resistant to the idea and said that she didn’t think that dad & Kenny would agree to missing their chance to be in Morro Bay. Again I was filled with a flood of emotions. I was hurt feeling that something related to the birth of our baby girl was not important enough to inconvenience my family. The hurt soon began to mix with anger and resentment. I felt like I was starting over again from where I had just been 2 days ago. I spent some time with God and talked a little with Alex. I didn’t want to allow a bitter root to grow, so I called my mom back to apologize in case I may have sounded short with her during our previous conversation. I’m not feeling as emotional, but am still concerned about how things will be resolved.

    Since Ivan hasn’t really been babysat by anyone else, and since it will be all day on Sat/Sun I feel uncomfortable trying to find someone else to watch him. I don’t know how he would handle being such an extended period of time without his parents in the care of someone new to him. Plus it is on a holiday weekend. We are hoping that my folks can switch weekends with someone else who is renting the house in May. I will talk with my dad when he gets back into town. Please pray that God works everything out for the best. And that He gives me peace knowing He will take care of everything.

    Hey Pam, I am praying for you, Alex, Ivan, and little one on the way. I can relate to your thoughts and emotions, though of course I have never been pregnant so that is completely different, so will meditate on this for you all. I pray you are able to find someone to help or someone steps up for you. I pray you and Alex find comfort in God and with each other. May everything going on strengthen you both with God that you keep each other lifted up. Thank you for sharing, Pam.

    Gary
