This past Saturday, we attended the baptism class at OLMC. We had to fill out a form that asked questions such as "What does baptism mean to you?" and "Why do you want to baptize your child?" and "List specific ways you will raise your child in the Catholic faith." They certainly didn't give us enough room!
I can't wait for her baptism. It is on Easter Sunday, and one of my good friends, Deacon Dan, will baptize her. He will become a priest for the diocese of Lafayette in June. She will wear a beautiful white gown, all our friends and family will be there, and she will become an adopted daughter of God. It makes me so excited just thinking about it. God has given us this precious gift, and we are so blessed. I can't wait for her to receive her first sacrament, and promise God that we will raise her to love and serve Him. It will be a day of Thanksgiving.

That is so great that you get to do it on Easter! Baptism is something that needs to be better taught in a lot of places I think. Our parish has a great Baptism class and they really emphasize the role of godparents, which is great.
What an exciting day that will be!
I can picture it now, Beth, and what a glorious day it will be for you and your husband!
That is so wonderful. I can't wait to baptize my future baby someday.
Hey, Beth, thank you for sharing your experience with me on my blog. I really think I need to be checked out for endo. Everything else about me has come out so normal and yet no baby. I'm going to write a post about it. It's something I've been thinking about for a couple of months and more so these last couple of days. Thank you again.
