I'm five days overdue and it has been quite a week physically--contractions coming ten or so minutes apart (still fairly irregular) for a few days now. They used to tail off overnight, but I spent much of last night just dozing between contractions. I'm trying to avoid the induction I had with my daughter (at 42 weeks); we're looking at scheduling an induction for next week, so I'm praying my body will kick it into gear before that. Could you say a prayer for me, my husband, and our baby--for a safe and smooth delivery?

I'm also quite nervous about leaving our two 2yo's during labor (we have never left them before with anyone, ever), so if you could throw them in there too, I would appreciate it.

God bless all of you! You remain in my prayers.

Dear Celeste, I will say "The Divive Praises" Prayer for ALL of you! Last month, during my labour when I began wondering how much longer it was going to be until I was going to give birth, it was THIS prayer my Husband read outloud (and I repeated) that literally got my baby moving! He will take care of everything (and everyone)..you'll see

Thank you all so much for your prayers!

Our newest little blessing, Catherine Bernadette, arrived on Friday morning. The birth went smoothly and I'm recovering well--we returned home on Saturday and we've been enjoying our babymoon ever since. My two toddlers did wonderfully with their grandmother while we were in the hospital and are thrilled with their new little sister.

Now we're looking forward to her baptism tomorrow morning.
