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.

Thank you everyone! we came home this afternoon and I am looking forward to getting some sleep tonight (why do people think you can actually get sleep in a hospital??).

Labor was quick but intense. I went from 4 cm to 10 cm in a matter of 3 contractions which amazed even the nurses and midwife! 2 pushes later there she was. God is good!

Here's her picture - more on my blog

Oh, she is so beautiful, Michelle. The coming home dress you made is lovely on her. I guess you didn't make it to JoAnn' Fabrics yesterday, huh. (We went for you. )

Well, one good thing about being out-of-town when another 4real baby is born is I don't have to go through the agonizing waiting period and labor paints but, rather, straight to the joyful birth, news, name, statistics, and photo all in one click.

Congratulations, Michele!
She is absolutely beautiful.
