Singing Mum says:

FanTAStic!
Everyone! Please stop NOW and say a pray for a good and safe delivery!

Singing Mum writes in a comment, below:
For all your prayers and kind words- a thousand thank yous!
Little Dom was born in a monastic hour, 4:53am, weighing 7lbs, 4oz, and measuring 20&1/2″. He has exhibited a gentle spirit thus far, which is quite welcome in a family with four boys.
His baptismal date, and subsequent birth into Christ, will be March 19, [OOH-RAH!] because it’s easy to remember as St. Joseph’s day. And why not add on another mighty patron?
I’m doing just fine after a long labor, and my husband Bill is a great help. Dom’s older brothers will storm the hospital to greet their brother this evening.
Thanks again, Fr. Z and all for prayers!
You are welcome. And now we can also add a prayer of thanks.
Just prayed and asked St. Michael to pave the way. God bless her and her family. :-)

Wonderful news and I will pray also.
AVE MARIA GRATIA PLENA!
Wow, those are some of my favorite saints as well!
(And yes, I also prayed.)
Nuestra Senora de Buen Parto, ruega por ellos!
Our Lady of Good Delivery, pray for them!
Dominic. Excellent choice!
Sending prayers to Ss. Dominic and Gerard Majella!
The whole lot of you have my prayers.
Congratulations!!!!!
Done. Praise God and what a good strong name!
Prayers for a safe delivery and excellent health for all involved!
What a blessing is a child.
Magnificent name.
Done. God Bless them all.
Dominic Miguel, terrific name!
In other good news, the Holy Father has accepted the resignation of Cardinal Mahony. Archbishop Gomez is now the Archbishop of Los Angeles!
Done and done. God’s Blessing on all!
Praying intensely for the safe arrival of the future Fr. Dominic Miguel and his mother!
Bit late, but prayers going up to Bl. Joana d’Aza.
Said a quick prayer when I saw this yesterday, adding Hail Marys now for health of mother and baby
God Bless
Praying. And very happy for the Singing Mum!
Praying for a safe delivery! And what excellent names she has picked! Honest-to-goodness Saints names!
May the prayers of Our Lady, St. Dominic and Blessed Miguel Pro assist you, Singing Mum!
Prayed and invoked St. Gerard Majella!
Singing Mum is a bright light in the musical world – and a fantastic soprano. With her own male quartet, there will be no stopping her! (And her husband’s a dynamite classical guitarist as well.)
God grant my good friend a safe delivery and many years!
Pater, Ave, Gloria.
For all your prayers and kind words- a thousand thank yous!

Mjballou, onward and upward with your Irish songs with harp idea! If you are still interested, we can start conspiring soon! CMAA Colloquium?
Deo gratias! Let Te Deum be sung!
May your new son stay close to his powerful patrons. In selecting them for this little one, you have given him a great and prophetic gift. One of the marvelous joys of being a Catholic is becoming familiar with the rich array of saintly lives which have gone before us and attaching ourselves to some with whom we relate in a deeply personal way. I consider St. Martha a match made in heaven for me. Congratulations, Singing Mum!
Congratulations, Singing Mum! I pray that little Dominic Miguel grows up healthy, happy, and strong. And, God willing, that he becomes a priest.
(My oldest son’s name is Dominic, good choice!)
Congratulations on the birth of your fourth boy! I never experienced the joy of having a son, only three girls. Not that there is anything wrong with that!
God Bless your new baby, family and home…I am a March 18th baby, day before St. Joseph’s and a day after St. Patricks….Puts alot of pressure on me to fill in that Saintly space. Well I try..I suspect this year will have many joys for you and your entire family.
Congratulations, Singing Mum.
May God richly bless your child.
LAUDETUR IESUS CHRISTUS IN AETERNUM!
Benedicite, omnia opera Domini, Domino; laudate et superexaltate eum in saecula; Benedicite, caeli…
Laudetur!
Thanks be to God for a safe delivery.
Congratulations on the new baby.
Blessings be upon mother and child!
Congratulations on your new son, Singing Mum!
And what a great day for him to be baptized-St. Joseph’s Day!
Kinda overachieving on the Holy Father’s spiritual bouquet, eh? :)
God is very good.
Wonderful news. God bless you all.
