Just wanted to ask for your prayers for my upcoming delivery. My due date was Friday, but I always go a little (or a lot!) late. I had some contractions yesterday, so I'm thinking I'll go sometime this week. Please pray for a smooth delivery and a healthy baby. I'm also a little nervous about leaving my children--my SIL will be watching them and I'm sure she'll do an excellent job (she has three young boys of her own), but it always makes me worry to leave them.

Thank you, ladies! I'll be carrying your intentions with me!

Oh Celeste! I cannot tell you how excited I am for you! ... this is my favorite time ... the anticipation of babies arrival . I know the worry you have about leaving your little ones. For me, that is the hardest part by far. But your little ones are in the good, loving, caring hands of your SIL. Put that worry aside, and trust our merciful Jesus. You will have a beautiful, peaceful, and wonderful birth ! I can't wait to see pictures ... you will post them on FB, right?!!!

Praying for you, and for a peaceful time for your sweet children in your absence! I know that worry, that's always the hardest part for me, besides the pain of delivery of course! Many prayers and hugs too!

Oh Celeste, the day is finally approaching!

I gotta feeling that baby is gonna come out running ~ just like her athletic Mama! If anyone knows Celeste, she is a most dedicated runner...I'm talking 13 miles on an average run, is that right Celeste?! And she kept it up until 36 weeks! How impressive is THAT?

After all that milage, this labour is gonna be a breeze! You are so! in! shape!

Praying and offering up lots of sacrifices for you, my friend!

Thank you all so much for praying! Bridget Philomena was born yesterday morning (9 days late!). It was an easy delivery, and we were able to come home this morning. Recovery is going well so far. And of course we are all quite smitten with her.    Her baptism is scheduled for tomorrow! We are just so blessed, and I truly appreciate your prayers!

Oh Celeste! What a beautiful name you have chosen for your little girl.   Congratulations on her birth

Offering up prayers of thanksgiving

How wonderful you are having her baptized so quickly.

Praying everything runs smoothly and you may rest soon.

Congratulations!!

I am very amazed that you are able to have baptism so quickly. We've never been able to get our priest to schedule it before baby is 6 weeks old.
