Hello,
My name is Celeste. I am new to this forum. I am so excited to have found 4Real. I am a wife to Jeff and homeschooling mother to seven angels. Abigail 11, Thomas 8, Elizabeth 7, Charles 5, Amelia 3 and Laura and Walter 19 m/o twins. We have been blessed with another baby due in early June and I sure could use your prayers. After much prayer, I am having my first vbac since the twins.
I know I must keep Jesus and Mary in mind. Especially our Lady at this time. After nursing the twins I went through complete physical and mental exhaustion. Thanks be to God I am learning to pace and seek peace for the good of myself and my family.
As I read others holy witnesses I am very encouraged. Thank you ladies for being there for each one of us. It means so much to me to find other like minded women. May God continue to bless you all.

Celeste

Hi Celeste, and welcome! I have been through a vbac and it went very well (no twins, though...). How wonderful that your doctor will consider a vbac!

I hope you'll let us know how your pregnancy is progressing and share some of your homeschooling tips with us.

I love the names you have given your children! I had a great-uncle named Walter (may God rest his soul) and it's nice to see that parents are still giving their children this name.

Welcome, and please don't hesitate to ask for prayers, suggest picture books, etc. etc. It sounds as though you have much to share with us!

Hi Celeste--from another Celeste. Is your full name Celeste Mary? Because mine is Celeste Marie.

No advice here, but prayers for you and your little one. I'm due in September and love praying for other pregnant moms.

Hello Celeste.
Actually my middle name is Nicol, but for the forum Mary just came to mind. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I will keep you in prayer also.

By the way, could you tell me how you add your signature? I looked but must be missing something. Thanks. God bless.
