Thank you all again for all your prayers :gopray2: :blessyou: I was wondering if it would be inappropriate to ask for the Annointing of the Sick for my little girl? I’ve heard that unborn babies can be given a special blessing, is that the same?

I am praying alot and crying alot, I feel strong for a little while but then lose it, I hope this is not an indication that my faith is weak, I want more than anything to have strong faith to get me through this, thanks again.

If you believe in the sanctity of life, then you know that God does not make mistakes. Fatima will be perfect, just the way God created her, whatever that physical form may take.

If you believe that our primary job as parents is to guide our children to Heaven, then if she gets there before you, your job is done.

My son lived for 1 1/2 hours. I held him as he was babtized by the hospital chaplain. I was so cheated out of raising him and having him in our lives, but I know he is in Heaven waiting for me, and I will have eternity with our family intact.

Definately pray to St. Gerard, get the best medical care you can, let the lawyers deal with the sperm doner (sorry, a little bit of uncharitable thought slipped in there) and love your daughter for all her life. Oh, and pray to Mary, who also knows what it is like to lose a child.

My prayers are with you.

If you don’t know a prolife priest, call your local Catholic pregnancy help center or Lifeline or Catholic prolife group. One of those places should have a list of priests who will administer that sacrament to Fatima. Also, Lexee, if Fatima is baptized in the hospital you might want something like these to have on hand to use at a hospital baptism (in addition to a baptismal gown), packed in your hospital bag:

thebaptismblankie.com/

or a sweet little baptismal cross necklace:

According to the description, this one has angels holding the baby over the baptismal font.

I’m sorry, Lexee, for all of the pain you are going through. I know that your suffering will bring about tremendous good. You are in my prayers.
 
My prayers are with you and baby Fatima Abigail.
Sit at the foot of the cross and give all your worries and fears to our Lord.
I will pray daily for you and your baby.
 
Hi, and I am also sorry you are going through this. I am new to this forum and it is so nice and great to see so many pray for you and Fatima. YOu can include me also. I sit before the Blessed Sacrament today and I will devote the hour to you and your baby girt. I love the name you chose for her. By the way, at my church, I have heard of priest saying special prayers over the pregnant woman and for her baby. The entire congregation that was there also raised their hands to pray over her and her baby. At your priest at your church. Miracles do happen. I recall a story by a nun, Sr. Briege McKinnon, who has the gift of healing. She told us in her book, Miracles Do Happen, that while she was waiting for a connecting flight a couple came up to her and asked what to do for her unborn baby was going to be born deformed. She did not, of course, advocate abortion but prayed over the mother and her baby and the baby was born healthy and with no defects. I am so glad you will keep the baby and the Lord will reward this faith. Also, it is okay to lose it every one in a while. We are only humans. Just keep praying and you have so many here praying for you, you are truly blessed. I just may include my problem and see if a miracle would happen with so many prayers. This is truly a great forum. Keep the faith and keep praying and trusting in Jesus and Mary. You have my prayers. God bless you. 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this with me, it does bring some comfort and consolation to me. I only hope to have your same courage if faced with the same situation, thank you and Bless you and your family and your little angel :angel1: that’s waiting for you.
 
Thank you all so much for your information and prayers. Nana3 welcome to the forums…you’re going to love it here, there are some wonderful people here. Angels is what I consider them, I always seem to find what I’m needing right here with all these wonderful, compassionate people…who also tell it like it is when need be.

I encourage you to post whatever it is you’re going through, if you don’t find answers you will find compassionate, concerned individuals who will comfort you if they aren’t able to help. I don’t know what I would have done without this forum.

Thank you again everyone, and I will be looking for a pro-life priest this weekend to get the sacraments that I and my baby need, thanks for the info. Bless you all :bowdown2: :love:
 
Dear Lexee15,

Do not dispair. Rejoice and thank God everyday that her tiny heart is still pumping away. You don’t yet know the gifts your child will bring you.

I’ll never forget the day we were told of my daughter’s diagnosis of cerebral palsy. We were so disappointed. Deep depression crept into our home. The sadness and sorrow expressed to us by well meaning family and friends fed our deep, deep depression.

But we got it all wrong. We failed to accept God’s plan for us. We were blinded by the diagnosis of CP to the wonder and joy that is in every child, normal or not. God put a spirit in our child that taught us that she wasn’t the one with the ‘defect’, we were.

Years ago, I begged God everyday, to take away the cerebral palsy. I cursed God for punishing us this way. I was angry with God for allowing this to happen. But I was wrong, so, so wrong.

As I sit here today, I think if God came down from heaven and said to me, “So, do you still want me to take away the cerebral palsy?” I would have to say, “no, she’s perfect just the way you made her.”
 
HI…You can count on me to remember you and your precious baby in my prayrers…As the grandmother of four grandsons, with another little boy on the way, I can tell you that ultrasounds are not always on the money, so to speak…Your baby is lucky to have you…such a stong mom…
 
My prayers are with you and your baby. Her name is precious as she will be when she makes her grand entrance. Just remember, God does not make any mistakes. This little one will light up your life no matter what. Utlrasounds can be wrong, but God knows your daughter and He wants her born. Thank God He gave her to you and not to someone that could not protect her. Lexee, please keep coming online to let us know what is up. It is an honor to pray for the unborn and you have given us all someone special to pray for.
 
Lexee,
Just want you to know that I went to Adoration tonight and offered my Rosary before the Blessed Lord for you and your beautiful children. God be with you all.

Peace,
Linda

Thank you so much and God Bless you and yours :blessyou:.
 
I want to thank everyone for their prayers and comforting words…they help me get through the days of despair. I will continue to post to keep everyone updated on the situation.

I went to Mass today and afterwards recieved the Sacrament of the Annointing of the Sick, the priests also prayed over me and Fatima and said the Expectant Mothers prayers, it was beautiful. They were so kind to me, it was very comforting, even though I have my bouts of sadness and confusion I know things are going to be okay…no matter what happens and I will continue to pray and have faith that whatever happens it’s been His will and part of His perfect plan even if I can’t see it. I credit your prayers and words of comfort for helping me realize this, I also credit my prayers to the Holy Spirit who have given me the peace and serenity I need to deal with this…thank you all.
 
(((((((:love: )))))) a little extra hugs never hurt. God bless. My husband and I said a special Rosary for your little one and yourself to give you the strength you need for both of your children. We understand the pain you are going through, we been there with our son. Kay

I’ve been following all your posts and praying for you. You certainly have been having a tough time but you are so brave and couragous. Pray to St. Gerard Majella. I was declared dead by the doctor because my mother had felt no movement for several days and they couldn’t find a heartbeat. They decided to schedule her for a c-section (she was 8 months) and got quite a shock when they found me alive and healthy. My mother had prayed to St. Gearard throughout her pregnancy and believes his intercession was what saved me. I am named after him and so is my younger sister.

Hi. A few thoughts.
  1. No child is perfect according to human physical standards.
  2. For God, this precious child is perfect, with a soul in His image and likeness.
3.This child is His perfect GIFT for you.
  1. Through this child, He wants to bring you closer to Him. Thank Him for this gift, rejoice, and be glad!
  2. And like all parents, He expects you to bring this child close to Him.
  3. Your rejoicing over this gift will help you raise this child for God. Think this through and you will have a glimpse of how perfect His plan is.
 
I will pray for you at daily Mass and whenever I recite the Chaplet of Mercy. Miracles do happen, God will give you the strength to handle whatever he gives you. Children are a blessing from God. Just think of the vast network of prayer for you that has now begun. Blessings to you always. :cool:
 
Lexee,

I believe that I heard you on the radio today as I was waiting on hold.

Dr. Ray gave you some GREAT advice. I hope that all is well and if you follow what he told you, I think that you are going to continue to go in the right direction. I think that he has reconfirmed what you have been feeling and been praying about.

God Bless you and your baby.
