One in the Oven!

Mac McLernon over at Mulier Fortis has taken an interest in my wife's pregnancy! Therefore I thought it high time I posted some pictures of the fantastic situation! We've had both 10 week and 21 week ultrasound scans, and here is a copy of the latter:

At this point it was affirmed that we are expecting a little girl! Wow! So we've already started calling her Madeleine. The baby girl clothes are also accumulating (lets hope the radiographers were right!!)

My wife, Wendy, is doing great and is really enjoying pregnancy (although it seems to exclude baltis at the moment, which cause acid indigestion). Here is a pic which she has agreed to show the blogging world:

This was taken at her sister's wedding, where she was maid of honour, 2 months ago. I'm afraid I will have to upload the camera to get a more recent 'bump shot', which I can't be bothered to at the moment!

Please pray for a healthy pregnancy and that we both receive the necessary grace to be good parents!

O almighty and everlasting God, through the Holy Spirit, you prepared the body and soul of the glorious virgin Mary to be a worthy dwelling place of your divine Son. Through the same Holy Spirit, you sanctified St. John the Baptist, while still in his mother's womb. Hear the prayers of your humble servant who implores you, through the intercession of St. Gerard, to protect Wendy amid the dangers of childbearing and to watch over the child with which you blessed us. May this child be cleansed by the saving water of baptism and, after a Christian life on earth, may we, both father, mother and child, attain everlasting bliss in heaven. Amen.
