I realized this morning that since I am the main person to post on here, it is selfish for me to ask for prayer for myself without even thinking of Stephen...So, if you could pray for him to have strength and encouragement, I know he would appreciate it.
He is very stressed with church, as spring is a busy time for Wesleyan pastors. Even though he is doing a great job, I know he is overwhelmed with all that has to be taken care of at home plus trying to take care of a dog, toddler, and a wife who can't do much of anything...and especially frustrated that nothing ever sounds good to me to eat right now! He is discouraged with some things at the church, and this week has been especially difficult with having a special 85 year anniversary service at the church last Sunday, lots of people in the hospital, difficult things he has witnessed on these visits, and he has a funeral that he is doing the committal service for this afternoon. Now with me not feeling great, I know he is concerned and wishes he could do something to fix it, so that is frustrating too. Not to mention worrying about this baby that could come as soon as two weeks from now!! We are both anxious - especially since we know what is to come...sleepless nights for one!! And this time around another child to care for instead of just ourselves. I know he is nervous about it being a girl instead of a boy, too...even though I have tried to reassure him that changing her diaper is not going to be that bad - but I am not sure how convincing I am, because from the many diapers I have changed in my life, boys are just so much easier :)
Anyway, I am starting to ramble, but wanted to let you know specific ways you could pray for Stephen too.

I will be praying for both you! I know it still seems far away but the finishline is there! You are so close! There were days at the end of my pregnancy that I would feel like I couldn't take one more day but then I would have a good day where things would go better and it helped me get through those bad days! I will be praying for good days for you and Stephen!
We'll definitely be praying for both of you! Sorry you're going through such a difficult and busy time.
