Prayers for Aniya please

[Denise]

Aniya will go to the doctor at 9:30 AM this morning and since the baby is due tomorrow they are trying to talk her into being induced, which I am totally against especially if it is medicinal. Breaking her water is one thing but to give meds that attack the baby's nervous system is another. Please pray that Grayson will come on his own.

Thanks!

I am so happy to report that she has dilated to one and she told him of concerns of forcing the baby to come when he isn't ready so the doctor told her to go home and if she hasn't delivered by Monday that she can come back and he will admit her. He said the only thing they will give her is something to soften the cervix so the baby can freely drop and be delivered. I am praying so hard that Grayson appears on his own.

Things sure have changed since I gave birth

Aniya just left the doctor's office and he is admitting her at 6 PM tonight to do what they call cervical ripening. I never heard of that in my life. Then in the morning the induction, which I am praying only consists of breaking her membrane. That isn't a big deal; I just don't want them giving her some kind of chemical that attacks the baby's nervous system so he will go wild in the womb. That has been proven to make hyper kids. Pray with me she has the baby before that. God is in charge.

She just got an epidural. She was in a lot of pain. Hopefully it will be soon.

[Denise]

She has been in labor all day and then no matter how hard she pushed the baby wouldn't move. C-section coming up. They said his head was swollen. I am very concerned!

[Denise]

He is here and seems just fine. He weighs 7lbs 8ozs. Aniya is worn out so I hope she can sleep.

We were all so nervous. There were 5 of us on a group text and my phone was blowing up. Poor Jonathan was trying to keep us informed and then he went silent. That scared us but when he sent another text that is the picture he sent. Everyone was so happy and offering prayers of thanksgiving.

Grayson was born on the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul

Oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not on Facebook so Aniya sent me her post about the baby. No one told me what happened when the baby was born. I hope he will be okay! Here is what she wrote:

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Grayson Gabriel Shaw was born yesterday around 8:30PM; 40 weeks and 6 days, and 7lbs 8 oz. Around 6pm I started to push, but when his head couldn't go through my pelvis I had to have a c-section. It truly was the most nightmarish experience i've ever had. It happened last second, and my body was shaking violently; all of the anesthesia they pumped into my body made me nauseated; I was already going on one hour of sleep, and the anesthesia made me so much more exhausted it made me feel like nothing was real. But this little baby was the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. It didn't stop here though, he was born purple and wouldn't breathe for 4 minutes... not sure why. Thank God the nurses finally got him to breathe! So far he is a little angel and he has the cutest head of hair; and Jonathan is already such a wonderful and loving father. Thank you to all who have been praying for us. we're all doing our best to recover. More pictures to come when we leave the hospital!!

gosh 4 minutes?
praise the Lord he is ok
What a beautiful gift from our merciful Lord - a child so lovely
Congrats to all and continuing prayers

Congratulations to Aniya on the birth of her baby, Congratulations to you Denise on being a great grandmother and of course my prays will be
with you all.

Its too bad Aniya's experience was nightmarish. But, that is the result of original sin. I kept thinking of Genesis 3:16 as I read Aniya's post.
I started reading the beginning of Genesis wne the reading for daily Mass were taken from Chapter 15.

God Bless Grayson Gabriel.

Thanks Marie and John, We were able to go and visit last night and I held him a long time. He is so precious and I can't wait to be able to keep him; I will be the daycare center Of course that won't be for about 3 months. He has his own room here as I have turned my southwest room into a nursery with lots of Winnie the Pooh. And, over the door is a about a 12 inch St. Benedict crucifix. I always ask St. Benedict to be on guard.

Aniya was up and walking around to the surprise of the nurses that came through the door. I hope she doesn't overdo it. And Jonathan will be an excellent father. He is so kind and gently and he even sent me a text telling me thanks for letting Aniya marry him. I told him that God allowed it and that I was in agreement.
