We are all excited because my brother just called to tell us that he and his wife are expecting their first baby! My first nephew. The kids' first cousin. Woo-hoo!
As a wife I beseech Thee, O Triune God, make me a cheerful, trustful, unselfish, thrifty, and an affectionate companion. If I am blessed with Motherhood, I ask the additional grace of patience and good example. May our family be modeled upon the Holy Family. Amen
Thanks be to the Father, who manifested unlimited power within me by drawing forth from nothingness another human soul and giving it to my care.
Thanks be to the Son, who has revealed his eternal wisdom within me by fashioning another flame of human life so delicate that it can neither be seen nor heard, so strong that it will live forever.
Thanks be to the Holy Spirit, who has shown his everlasting love within me by forming another human heart to spend its days on earth in praising God and returning love for love.

How wonderful. And I can't believe Justin is all grown up now. It was strange seeing that picture of him all grown up!
Congrats to you all.
