Thank you so very much for all of your prayers and well-wishes!! I am so grateful for them!
I started labor on Fri into Sat but it kinda pooped out leaving me crampy all day on Saturday. I barely got to the hospital....he was born 20 minutes or so after I got there with only a few pushes (that NEVER happened to me before) ...I guess I should share that story.
right now I am trying to get stronger and because of my wonderful midwife, I barely feel like I just pushed a baby out...wow. I just have to learn how to hold up my body without him doing it from inside....
We decided to name him after The Great Fisherman himself and in honor of the feast day of Our Lady of Pilar, St James...and all of the boys are named after good St. Joseph...hence the 3 names. Not to mention, this mom thought it would be funny to be calling from the back door..."Peter James and John! Come inside!" LOL...
baby needs me again. he is an eating machine...I long to walk upright again...haha
lots of love,
Donna Marie
-----------------
I am proud to announce....
Peter James Joseph was born on Sunday 12 at 3:15 AM
9 pounds 3 ounces and 21 in long
AND Mom is doing fine.
Mom says hi and to thank you for all your prayers
She might be home today or tomorrow and she will tell you more when she gets back from the hospital.
God Bless and thank you for the prayers for my Mom
Rebecca and Katherine (the oldest twins)
I think I might be in the early stages of labor. please keep me in your prayers...once again i am doing this as a night owl....ouch...ouch..ok THAT was a real contraction.....*deep breath*...now how to get to the hospital without losing him on the way...lol
Pray for me!!
reminds me of a joke...you probably heard this one...
One Sunday in a Midwest City, a young child was "acting up" during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle. Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out. Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"
that little kid is me....lol
Um God? are you sure I can do this? ha ha
God love you!

Actually, I meant that it will be that feast on the 11th the day I imagine this little one is going to make his entrance!
Of course you must be excited, we are so excited for you as well, it is such a blessed feeling you have when labour is commencing!!

Praying and how exciting! I'm never fond of labor...my famous words in the middle of labor (my husband always jokes about it)..."I've changed my mind...I don't want to do this!" My husband always replies,"Hmmm...It's a little too late for that now."
:)
Sending lots of prayers!
