Dear 4Real Friends,

I am so, so grateful for all of your posts of prayers and well-wishing. I read each one and "saw" each of you.

We are so blessed by God with our 9th angel, my "Sweet P.", Peter.   He was 6.15, born at 3:00 PM on St. Paddy's Day (we already have a Nicholas Patrick!), Monday of Holy Week. He has exceeded his birth weight at 9 days, so the docs think it is very likely that this little guy does NOT have CF! We won't know until genotyping, but I am NOT feeling worried or stressed about it. Probably thanks to all of you.....

I had a harder L and D than I prepared for---(ha!---do we EVER have control????)---but it kind of left me in a paralysis for a few days.      I certainly was severely sleep-deprived, but I am catching up and feeling better. He didn't latch well for the first 36 hours, but now is nursing possessively and my milk is sufficiently in.

I ask for your continued prayers to know JOY and savor the days with my little ones....and for the protection against Post-partum Depression and Exhaustion.

Much love, hugs, and thanks from all of us Murphs!

(Sorry to not post a pic. I am a moron at those things.)

Nina!
I am sooo glad you felt well enough to pop in and give us an update on how you and baby Peter are doing.   Much love to you and keep on resting and your intentions, (esp. for Peter's health and protection against PPD) will be in our Rosary intentions each evening, as well! Hugs and a blessed babymoon to you and your dear family!!

Wonderful Nina!!!!!

I was going to harrass you about not naming him Patrick, but now I will let it slide
I am so happy he is doing so well. Take good care of yourself.
