I finally scheduled my first OB appointment, today. The receptionist told me that my estimated due date is December 26. She then told me that the first available appointment is May 31. I went ahead and scheduled the appointment, marking it on my calendar. When I got off the phone, I looked at the calendar to make sure I had written down the time. In doing so, I noticed that May 31 is the Feast of the Visitation of Mary to her cousin Elizabeth.

On Divine Mercy Sunday, I learned that we are definitely expecting. The baby is due during the Christmas season. I cannot help, but think that Christ and His Blessed Mother are smiling down on this little baby in my womb.
