Baby News and Lent at Ephesus

30 weeks, 6 days
4 lbs

This week, I learned that our baby will be induced the day after Septuagesima Sunday, if not before.  Since I am taking Lovenox (a.k.a. an anti-coagulant), it is safer to stop the medication and induce me than it is to let me go into labor on my own. I will have another ultrasound in a couple of weeks, at which time the delivery date will be confirmed. I can't wait to hold this baby. Anyway, my appointment this week made me start thinking about Lent (I know that I have a few more weeks before I need to start thinking about it).


I was happy to learn that on February 11, the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles will be releasing a CD for Lent, Lent at Ephesus. The CD is currently available for pre-order through them and through Amazon. The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles are offering discounts on shipping for bulk orders of CDs. We are looking forward to receiving our CD and listening to it throughout Lent.

      Thank you for the prayers. I really appreciate them. I have to be honest that I am getting a little bit nervous. I don't like being induced, but I know that Elisa is right when she says, "God is in control." We are still trying pick a boy's name and girl's name. We know that if this baby is a girl, we want to honor Our Blessed Mother in some way. May God bless you and your family!
