...they say is good news. Or so they say. So, that being the case, I have only good news to report on the baby front: which is to say NO NEWS.
Please pray for me for faith and perseverance and, better yet, for a baby to produce herself - VERY SOON.
Thank you in advance for the prayers.
A blog dedicated to sharing the joys and challenges of being the mum to a large family.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother: to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Lydia welcomed her aunt during the 12 days of Christmas.
Cecilia Therese was born during the Christmas season, though thankfully not on Christmas Eve or Day. We are grateful to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the miraculous birth of this precious baby whose protection we placed within the wounds of Christ's heart, during her very long labour. We are also thankful for all of the prayers that were sent our way and we know they helped and lifted us through a most challenging time.

If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg. To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it.

Prayers being prayed & best wishes being sent!
Come on Little Girl! We're all waiting for you!!
Oh man, you poor thing. I remember the last few days before a due date being the most anxious days out of the whole pregnancy. Just waiting and hoping it would all be done and you have a new baby to snuggle was unbearable. I was blessed that my second and third showed up 8 and 7 days early respectively but my oldest was born the day before the due date. Fortunately I never was late.
Oh Christi,
Even twelve years later, I so remember those days. Mine were all almost four to six weeks early, but with each one there was that doctor's appointment where the doctor said "anytime now" or else contractions would start and almost be regular and then the patience to wait went out the window. I remember being sent home from the hospital ( false labor) crying as my husband reminded me that I still had weeks until my due date. (Lucky for him that I was way too huge to run him down as I wouldn't have been responsible for anything I did to him after that lol) Anyway, know that you , baby , hubby,and all the big brothers , sisters, and even the expectant niece are in our prayers.
I'm sure you've heard the phrase "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it" YAY for being in labor. I'll be praying for an easy and safe delivery and an update as soon as you're feeling up to it
By CP's last comment I assume that Baby is on her way ?
Any news yet?
about 18 hrs labour, am only 6.5 and very discouraged, Prayers are very welcomed!
THANK YOU so much to everyone who is praying.

5 or 6 is better than 2 or 3. And bless you for being on the computer while in labor...all I ever did while in labor was yell. :) Good luck!!!
6.5 is over half way there. Your doing great :-) We'll be praying !
This little person is very popular already :-). Praying for you as well.
Still only 6.5 - 7. All attempts to continue labour has been suspended until morning to give me a break and a chance to sleep.
Tomorrow we look at other alternatives. Your continued prayers are gratefully requested.
I might not have access to the Internet tomorrow, depending on what decisions are taken. But we will update as soon as is possible,
Blessings
Christi
I hope you were able to rest a bit overnight.
Looks like today will probably be the birth day !
Hang in there girl!
I am praying for you Christi! Blessings!
