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.

Thanks, ladies!

After #4 was born I was so petrified of getting pregnant again. Everything seemed so overwhelming. I was really struggling with this feeling like I didn't want to have more than four kids, but I didn't feel like that was truly God's will for our family... it was awful.

I have to say, in just the last few months my heart has been so changed. Even about things like NFP or family size. I feel so open to however many God blesses us with and truly feel that each baby will bring such joy and blessing to our lives that of COURSE we want many, many more! I realize this seems small, but it has been such a significant change in my thinking (which I am not doing a very good job of expressing here) that I truly think it was miraculous.

Deo Gratias! I get chills of excitement whenever I think about this new little one.

Wow- congratulations A-Lil and Jennifer. Jennifer - that's close to my b-day - great time of year!

I just updated the Maternity Novena as we were a few months behind. If there is anyone I missed please let me know.

Janette- Thank you! I was born in July, and one of my daughters is a July baby, too.

In my side of the family, there's been a "lull" in the births department, and every time someone mentions that it's been a while since someone was expecting, they all turn and look expectantly at dh and I! Dh's mother, though, generally has a big eye-roll and comments on how much I'm getting to be a Ma Kettle!    But I swear, we don't have chickens in the house, and I DO remember all my children's names. Most of the time.
