This is amazing news!!!! Praise God! I'm adding you to my novena to Our Lady of la Leche. God bless you and your precious baby. Congratulations!!! 
O Lord Jesus Christ,
through the intercession of Your tender Mother, Our Lady of La Leche,
Who bore You close to her heart during those long months before Your birth,
I place my baby and myself entirely in Your Hands.
Free me, I beseech You, from useless and consuming worry.
Accept the sacrifice of my aches and pains,
which I unite to Your sufferings on the Cross.
Above all, most merciful and loving Jesus,
protect this child You have given to me from all harm,
bestowing the health and vigor every baby needs.
Implant in my heart and on my lips the words and prayers of Your Mother and mine,
our Lovely Lady of La Leche.
All this I ask that my child and I may live to praise forever Your Holy Name.
Amen.

Thank you Cheryl, Stef, Nina, Suzanne, Theresa, Paula, Brenda, maria, Meredith, Susan/Taffy, Liz, Nancy, Molly, Cheryl, Nancy, Joann, MaryG, Noreen, Irene, Ruth, Jennifer, Erin, Tammy, Kathryn, Jen, KT, Stepahnie and Marie for your prayers and good wishes!
Well, today I'm feeling better than ever and I hope it is only because the prayers you've offered for me have relieved my morning sickness! When I feel this good, I have so much more energy to worry. Early on in my pregnancy, when I felt like I was feeling too well, I would sit down to a big piece of chocolate cake. Boy, did that send me into serious sickness!
I'm not going to do that today. (Although I am tempted  ) I'll just trust in God and His Will and the power of intercessory prayer!

Helen,
What a happy surprise! It just tickles me to hear an American talking about Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. She has really blessed you
A big hug,
Natalia

Well Helen, the wonder of this news continues to thrill me as I read it here and you have chosen the 'perfect' place to share it. Hidden Treasure. Your hidden treasure is in some way mysteriously connected to all the things you mentioned and that must give you great joy!
They are thoughts that I deeply pondered on as well when our newest blessing surprised us and the conception date was caculated for the first day of the True Devotion preparation. I felt the 'layering' of blessings in all that you and Alice had created here at Hidden Treasure.
Wow, it has me thinking all over again. The board could have been named many beautiful titles but it is 'Hidden Treasure' and then to have Our Lady of Altagracia as the patroness and her feast day as your due date, well the wonder and awe just continues...

I love Ruth's prayer to OLL!
Hopeful that the morning sickness is a good sign of a solid and healthy implantation and hormonal levels. Rest and enjoy this soul, Mama!

Helen, I read this when you first posted it and was just so overjoyed for you, and for the past few days, each time I thought of you (which was often!) I smiled so big that a few times my children asked me what I was smiling about! What wonderful news! You will be in my continued prayers!

Thanks Lisa - I hope this is why I'm feeling so much better since I made this announcement! I'm feeling sick in the afternoons but much better in the mornings.
Thank you Elizabeth, Nicole and Lisa for your prayers!!
