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.

Congratulations, Maryan!

That was kind of a sneaky way to announce, wasn't it?

Oh thank you all! We are thrilled here!

Honestly, I'd been holding my breath -- since I'm not absolutely sick (and that's never been good news for me previously).

But God is truly gracious -- I've seen the heartbeat twice and given the "all clear" signal from the doctors. Baby is due to come January 10, 2007.

And you know, it's neat to follow Our Lady's pregnancy by a few weeks liturgically. It definitely gives neat meditations for feasts like the Visitation, etc.

So thank you for the congratulations.

Big congratulations, Maryan!

(And since I haven't spent much time on the computer this past week, I'll also tell you here that it was so nice to meet you last week. Hope to see you again soon!)

Congratulations, Maryan! January 10 is a nice day for a birthday! Our dd (age 4) was born that day, and reminds us often that she's named after baby Jesus (Christine).
