Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs.

Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Our family was blessed three days before Christmas with the birth of a little baby girl!       
Yes a girl, still rather shocked about having a girl       

We have named her Siena Caeli, so thank you all for your help with name suggestions.    Siena is 8lb15oz (4.064kg) and 56cm long.

Labour was long, on and off for two days, so very grateful that all went well, she is well and I'm well. I came home late the next afternoon, Christmas is indeed a busy time to have a baby.

All our children are totally besotted, loving their little sister. She only needs to emit one cry and they go running.

Loving our little girl

Many happy congratulations!!!       Enjoy the baby moon… and all the extra helpers you have!

(So different to have a baby in that season of life than when it's your first or second or third even…)   

Praying for a healthy recovery! (Lots of PROTEIN Mama!!!!)

My little girl is due within the next few weeks as well!
