After Midwife

She gave me some herbs to help stop things. It seemed to work at first, but know they are wanting to start up again, so I'm getting ready to soak in a bath of epsom salt. I am dialated to one, so if things don't slow down to five or less in a hour without a regualr pattern we will have to go in yo the hospital. Thanks for all the prayers. Keep them coming.

I've been drinking lots of water etc.

I'm 33 wks, 4 wks too early for a home birth.

Turn your fears into RIGHTEOUS EXPECTATIONS! Amen! Becki called me after Brother Jay called her. I, in turn, called Brother Smith who was with Brother Werkheiser. We all had a good prayer for you. Don't be anxious. Trust. Read your Bible--that always brings peace and comfort. Let the Lord speak to you through His Word. Don't think about all the "what if's", just think about God and His power and majesty and all the miracles He's performed for His people throughout all time. Put on some soothing Christian music. Focus on the Lord. He'll take care of this.

Ernie wants to write to Rebekah. So know that we have you in our hearts and minds and prayers 60/60/24/7. Sis. Smith's advice is timeless. Love you.
Mom & Ernie

Rebekah and Jacob, Remeber Gods' Will will be done, so just accept whatever miracle he gives you. Be it..to have this baby at home later with a loving support system or to have this baby sooner...in the hospital with knowledgable medical attention. Pray for acceptance of His Will

Brother Jacob an Sister Rebekah,

We have sent up prayers for you all day and we know that God will provide ALL that's needed. This did not take God by surprise and He has promised to take care of His Children. Keep trusting in the Lord and know that the entire NW Region s praying for Mom, Dad, and the baby.

God's Word is true. There is a time to be born. Trust HIM... he knows all things. He is able.

Love you sis...God is good *smiles* You are in good hands, after all; God created the earth with you and your baby in mind. He does marvelous work and he never fails. Keep your eyes on Jesus and he will pull you through. God bless. Auntie Elena
P.S. I can't wait to see my new grandchild (Yup'ik traditional view.) Love you lots.
