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.

Well, I think I need to admit to myself that I am experiencing labor! Started off w/contractions 15m apart around 10:30pm, and they've not gone away, have gotten closer together, and are pretty strong. I'm now having them ~every 7m.

Please keep us in your prayers!

Valerie
