**********TTC Prayer Group**********

Hi everyone, The TTC Prayer Group is a support group utilizing the power of prayer. If you want to join we will assign you a prayer buddy and all you have to do is simply include that person in your prayers. Very simple-yet powerful!!! Feel free to search under TTC prayer group and check in at whatever time of day. If you have any concerns, special prayer requests, or need to reach us outside of the nest email us at suzannesteward69@yahoo.com or jplotz22@gmail.com.

If you want to join the group and be linked up with a prayer partner please provide the following info: your name, if you choose, your email address, your age, if you are TTC baby number 1, 2, etc, and how long you've been trying. I'll assign you a partner the following day and you can begin posting as soon as you ask to join. Thanks!
 
I am Suzanne, 39 years old, and my DH and I have been trying to have a baby for four years. In 2008, we had undertaken fertility treatments and had four IUIs ? all BFNs. We got our BFP after completing our first IVF cycle. Unfortunately, however, I had a missed miscarriage and a D&C on September 17. We will try IVF again in the summer.
 
I am Jessica; after TTC with PCOS for almost a year DH and I have been blessed with a miracle through IVF. Our daughter is due May 19^th, 2010.

For this week, February 8-12, Suzanne will post between 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard time. For next week, February 15-19, Jess will post between 11:30 to 12:30 Central Standard time.

A fellow nestie and friend of Borst-Plotz?s just had her 20 week ultrasound. Her friend found out that she is having a boy, but he has some serious health problems. He may have a chromosome disorder and possibly problems with his brain, but his heart is missing a valve as well as some other issues. Her friend and her friend?s DH don?t know if the baby is going to make it or what the perinatologist can do but please pray for their family and him.

*p_panda:  Please pray that AF will not arrive in the next couple of weeks and that she will get her BFP! She would love to have her BFP and not have to see the fertility doctor.

QOTD: What are your plans for Valentine?s Day? Normally, DH and I go out to eat around Valentine?s Day (not the actual day ? we don?t want to wait in a restaurant for two hours to get a table!) and we have a nice romantic dinner at home on Valentine?s Day. Since we?re snowed in this week, we?ll probably just have dinner at home.

Reflection: Ephesians 5:25: Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for it.

KyleneD, my DH only had to go to work once this week. The rest of the week we?ve been home together because I haven?t had to go into work once this week. It?s been great!

Ladies, please pray for everyone in Haiti.
