Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs.

Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

The house is clean...
The kids are clean...
The laundry is done...
My desk is cleared...
I'm ready and packed...
(A tad obsessive-compulsive about the cleaning!)
I've read all the good natural labor/delivery books...
Cash is home from his two-hour away job...
My sister is on her way from Orange County to be with the kids...
My labor is progressing fairly well...not close enough contractions to head to the hospital, but thought I'd post before they really, really hurt!

I'd just like to ask for prayers for a safe delivery and then for me to go as naturally as possible. It is 10:30 p.m. PST. I will offer up some of the pain for all of the women on this list.

I'll be back in a week or so...now off to read the natural delivery thread one more time....

Ooh how I would love to make it a triple!! But no action here. Erica, I am up at 3 am Eastern time (just uncomfortable, no labor) and thinking of/praying for you! Hope all is going well.

Chari, I will pray for Mackenzie too! How exciting!!
