Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I am 36 weeks pregnant and have had sleep for many weeks except sporadically due to leg spasms and pain (the baby goes head down and sits on a nerve in my leg). Usually I can pick up a half hour here and there, but tonight and last night even that was difficult.
I am having trouble driving even short distances without nodding out and yesterday I had to drive to my doctor's appointment with my kids which is a half hour away and it was harrowing to say the least.

Thank you so much.

UPDATE!
Go see the news here!

I've been praying, Julia, and hope you are sleeping better. Have you talked with your care-provider about finding some relief for your symptoms? You might want to ask for suggestions at Our Lady of Good Remedy.

Love,

I just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers. I'm still having leg spasms and aches that keep me awake, but lately I've gotten a chance to take more breaks and even some nights I"ll get a couple hours straight. I at least don't feel so desperate anymore.

My toddler needs me, I just wanted to say thank you again.
