Thank you all for your prayers!
I couldn’t have hoped and prayed for a better labor and delivery!
The baby and I will be staying here at the hospital until tomorrow, so that they can continue to monitor her, due to the Group-B Strep, but so far she is doing wonderfully!
Deo Gratias!
Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
She is gorgeious! Congratulations to you and your family, Jessica!
FINALLY (the announcement that is, i talked to you HOURS ago. . . what, are you busy with a new baby 😉
i think the only thing i got right was the length. oh yeah, and gender but that was a freebee.
congrats!! hopefully i will get to meet her someday.
love ya!
r
oh and is it required that you stay longer due to the gbs? i know your propensity to stay as long as possibly so i am really hoping this is by your choice (or else i might just have to consider an at home birth 😉

She is just beautiful – congratulations to your family!

Congratulations! I had Group B Strep with both my kids, and when my son was born, they didn't have enough time to get me a dose of penicilin. We were in the hospital for five days because of his breathing, but it turned out to be transient and unrelated. I will pray that all goes well with the monitoring of your little one!

So happy to hear of your safe and relatively easy birth–I had two babies in December and it was such a blessing on a spiritual as well as emotional level. What a gift to be able to birth when Mary did–truly miraculous.
Love to your beautiful family!
