Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Mark Benedict Baldwin was born on Sunday August 26th at 1:30 am. He weighed 7.3 and 21 3/4". Both of us are healthy and very much enjoying this blissful time together. My labor and delivery went very smooth once it got rolling. I had some prodromal labor, but when it finally kicked in for real, he was born 3 hours later in the water, very peaceful and alert. Thanks for all of your prayers! I will have pictures later when I make it downstairs to the pc, right now I am using my husbands laptop.

Why'd you wait so long to post this?

Just kidding, of course. I think it's AMAZING that you are visiting us here the day after giving birth! But I'm so glad you did so that we can share in your joy.

Congratulations to all of you and may our dear Lord bless Mark Benedict with a joy-filled life!

So happy for you!

Congraulations Lisa on this beautiful arrival of Mark Benedict, I am just so pleased for you all, the children must be so excited as well! Sounds like a lovely, quick birth. Mark arrived on the Marian feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa!!
