Prayers Badly Needed**

Hi everyone, some of you might remember that last year I put up a threadtitled 'Prayers badly needed' abouta friend of mine who had given birth very early (about 23 weeksi think) and I had askedeveryone topray formother and child, but after 2/3 weeks baby Miceal passed away.

What had been even more heartbreaking at the time was that they had awful bother conceiving and had been told that it was near impossible so to have conceived then lost baby Miceal seemed like the end of their world.

At the time I was really taken by the unbelievable messages of support and promises of prayers by so many people on here and this brings me to the point of this trip down memory lane-

My friend gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Monday, weighting just under 9 lbs. Mother and child are doing great and My friend and her husband couldnt be happier.

I have been waiting to share the good news wid you guys (and Girls) for months but didnt want to jinx it.

However I would ask yous all to say a prayer for anyone who is ever in a similar position to what she was last year, and ask God to send them hope.

Slan.

Good stuff Billy. Should I put on the betting thread that you are 5.6 favourite to be the God daddy now.

Great story. So many people in Ireland struggle to conceive yet it's never talked about - yet another "dirty secret" that our culture tells us to keep quite.
