Thank you, thank you dear friends for all your prayers! 
My labour started 1/4 to 4pm ON my due date  And Annuncia Mary, weighing 10lb4 arrived at 10 to 11pm (Aus time) last night.
It was a blessed birth despite my ABSOLUTE GRATITUDE THAT IT IS OVER!  
Annuncia was breech even very late in the labour when palpated but she came out head first! She must have flipped at the very last moment as the cord has a perfect knot in it - miracles were happening all round last night and I cannot thank you sincerely enough for being a part of that - praying when I mentioned the breech possiblity a couple of weeks ago and carrying me in prayer in the last 24hours.
When I went into labour, I thought how great that was as I know that you were all not far from waking over there, but you'd never guess it, I couldn't get a connection for some reason - so thank you Helen for posting for prayers on my behalf.
My homebirthing, christian doctor was an absolute blessing, taking such perfect care of me and praying me through the heavy contractions to the end - support on all levels - spiritual, emotional, physical.
I will be offering a Mass for all your private intentions in thanksgiving for all your prayers, sacrifices and communions offered.
Phil hopes to post some pictures soon!

God Bless and lots of love, Anne

I am so happy to hear this great news! I'm just tickled she came out head first- I knew the Blessed Mother would take care of that for you.
Blessings to you all!
