Dear friends

My induction is scheduled for very early tomorrow morning - Tuesday May 26. Please would you pray for a safe delivery and if it be the will of God another successful VBAC.

Thank you all so much for praying me and encouraging me through the last 9 months. Baby is so blessed to have had so many "cyber godmothers and aunties" praying for her. I feel quite emotional thinking of how many of you have just kept me going - through hyperemesis, insomnia, breathing problems, some preterm labor. I feel so incredibly blessed to have made it to almost 39 weeks - never got this far before.

And if you could say an extra little prayer that this horrible allergy attack I have right now will pass before tomorrow - I so want to be able to breathe through labor without an inhaler or other medication.

Thank you again - for your support and friendship and prayers and generosity. I hope that someone will be updating this with good news in less than 24 hours!

UPDATE :: ANNA GRACE IS HERE!

I just heard from Steve (Marilyn's husband) - Anna Grace was born at 2:52 pm (Eastern time). She is doing very well - 6 lbs, 1 oz and about 20 1/4 inches long. Marilyn is doing well recovering after a fairly straightforward labor and delivery.

Thanks be to God!

Hi everyone - I will update below.THANK YOU for all prayers - I am home - so thankful I was allowed out after 24 hours. More below...

I believe that tomorrow is the feast of St. Philip Neri - he's awesome!
