Well
Though you'd all like an update. I'm still waiting.  I know 'patience is a virtue' I hope I don't get to be too virtuous  I was due yesterday, even thought I'd gone into labour. Got my dear brother 21, to drive down to look after the children and it all stopped.  Kieren is still here waiting, but I could be days! Oh well, I'll leave it in God's hands, tomorrow is Genevieve's 2nd birthday, so that will be a special day.

I remember now Louise, it was Sebastian I was thinking of, we also like Matthias. Dh has wanted Laurence for years and I also have suggested Alexander. Dh has also mentioned Augustine for a middle name and I have a brother called Dominic Ambrose James.  Sounds like we have very similar tastes in names.

Christine,
What a fantastic idea! I have offered my labours before of course for an intention but I really like the idea of offering each seperate contraction. I've started a list.
Kristina,
I keep trying to visualise that snuggling, I do, its just thoughts of prior get in the way.
Don't worry Erica you haven't scared me, I am already over thinking. 
Kathryn,
How lovely to hear from you, I've been wondering how you are.
Thank you to all you, my wonderful friends for your rosaries and prayers. It has relieved me to know you are praying and thinking of me. I know I'll now be alright with you praying

Looks like it! 
Happy birthday to your sweet Genevieve! My father gave me our family tree a few years ago and I noticed then that three of my ancestors (grand...grand fathers etc.) married a Genevieve, all the way back to some of the first Canadian settlers from France. I love that name!
I am keeping you in my daily prayers.

Thanks for the update, Erin. I'd be driving you crazy if I was nearby, asking how you are feeling 10 times a day! Thoughts and prayers always coming for my Aussie friend!

Praying for you, Erin. It's great your brother is there to watch the children; my guys would love to have their uncle hang out for extra days while waiting for a new sibling. Happy birthday to Genevieve!
Blessings,

Thank you to all my friends around the globe for your prayers and emails. I am truly grateful
Thought you'd all appreciate an update. Last night I had a very definete show Contractions had been painful since lunch, although I didn't pay them much attention as I have been having contractions on and off for the last fortnight
Around 11pm we rang a friend (brother has long gone home by now) and she settled down for the night. I managed to sleep on and off for the next few hours, around 3.30am we headed up to the hospital. Contractions continued 20mins apart. Around 5pm I fell asleep and when I awoke at 6.30am, no more contractions
So at present we are back home, I'm still having painful contractions on and off, sometimes 20 min apart sometimes not. The hospital has given me a 'gate pass' although I believe they were expecting me back before now. I've been home 3hrs, its now lunchtime. Please pray that it starts AND continues soon. Today!! It is the 4th of July over here, good day, yes?
Thanks in advance for all your prayers, thoughts and emails. I am delighted and overwhelmed.

Dear Erin,
I pray that it will be "Go - Time!" for you very soon! (that's what my dh calls it when we leave for the hospital )
Blessings,
