Ok, ladies! It has been a Loooong pregnancy and I made it to my due date!!
Now I need to pray that she comes out soon because they think that she may be around 10lbs right now.

I would appreciate it if you would keep me in your prayers!

I can't believe the date has arrived...I think it is too late to say "oh, I change my mind...can't do labor...I am too busy...etc... ...weird hormonal thoughts, eh?

Any prayers and cheerleadingwould be appreciated! I need to think higher thoughts...anyone have any good quotes to ponder while in labor??

Yay Donna Marie!! I'm so excited for you to be holding your new little one soon!

Praying for a smooth, easy, uncomplicated labor/birth.

I kept thinking Jenn's quote when I was in transition and pushing with Nicholas just 2 weeks ago.

I was reading and pondering these before labor began:

"My grace is enough, it is all you need." 2 Cor. 12

"Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us assurance about the things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1

I usually keep one thought in mind.. the only way out is through it. And otherwise think about labor as little as I possibly can

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



When I am in labor I always picture the monstrance and think "He loves me that much and I can do this because "I can do all things through Him, who strengthens me!"

I'll be praying for you and you have some great feast days to look forward to !!!

How very, very wonderful and exciting! ... the impending birth of your baby , it always gives me chills and puts a smile on my face knowing that Mama and baby are soon to be staring into each other's eyes. There is no other feeling, no other sensation as intimate and powerful. I wish you the best of what this amazing time has to offer

Still praying, Donna Marie. Another thought - with each passing day, the chances it will happen *today* increase!

Peace,

Yeah Donna Marie!

In every delivery room I can remember, there has been wallpaper borders with roses.. amazingly always two groupings of 5, so praying the rosary while waiting was easy.. not the labor , but the wait. Can't wait to here she is here!
