New Baby!

Madeleine's Godmother had her baby yesterday! A little girl, 6 lbs 12 oz, 19.5 inches. Pretty good for being 3 weeks early. Her blood sugar's a little low but she will be fine. No name yet! (She's killing me!) We're going to meet her tonight, hopefully she'll have a name by then.

We went to the beautiful Confirmation last night at church. Ken was a sponsor to two kids. I was nervous, because Madeleine has been going to bed right at 7:30, and it started at 7:00. But she fell asleep in her sling, woke up to eat during the Eucharistic prayer, I got back upstairs in time to go to communion and she got blessed by Bishop Higi! She was quite the angel - smiling and talking to everyone after mass.

Then..... the best thing EVER - she slept from 10:30 - 5:30! (I didn't - I kept getting up and wondering why she was still sleeping.... ) She's still sleeping right now, but I'm going to have to get her up to go to work soon.

Oh and this weekend we heard that our parish is getting not one, but TWO new priests! One of them is being ordained Saturday, he is a Harvard graduate and studied in Rome, taking all his classes in Italian, and still managed to graduate top of his class. The other one was ordained 2 years ago and was always one of my favorite seminarians. We actually played the music at his first mass, and I cried pretty much all the way through it. It was so moving. Ever since his first mass I"ve been praying that I have a son who is called to be a priest. I'm sure this weekend's Ordination festivities will make me desire that even more.
