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.

Peter Douglas was born on Valentine's day after a short hemmorage free (yeah!) delivery.

My cold of the a last month had turned out to be a bad sinus infection and after a 4 day boom of antibiotics I was feeling healthy enough (and breathing enough!) to finally finish the job.

Right on his due date- a first for us as mine are usually 2 weeks over.

He was nine lbs and six oz- a "petite" for our family

And he surprisingly peaceful so far...I think our Lord is granting mercy on us after the 2 year high needs rollercoaster we have been on.

Bid sis and Big bro are thrilled to have us home and our 2 yrold had been more gentle than we had hope for. (and as loud as ever )

thank you for your support and prayers.

God Bless -Maggie

Congratulations, Maggie and welcome Peter Douglas. I love his name. Three cheers for skipping the hemmorhage!That certainly makes for an easier recovery (btdt, big time).

Peace,
Nancy
