World, Meet Gianna Therese

Blogging from Hotel Baby on the smartphone so this is short and sweet. I promise to spill aaaall the beans very soon.

Until then, meet our sweet Gianna Therese, born today at 3:22pm, 6lbs 12oz. The birth experience was easily the most intense spiritual experience I have ever been blessed to have. Absolutely incredible. Your prayers played a big part and I thank you for trusting your intentions with me.

    Congratulations !

    She is beautiful as her older sisters, and of course as her Mama.

    The other day as I was watched the story of St. Gianna, i thought that i would name a baby after her and St. Therese well, it is my daughter’s model.

    Gianna Therese what a blessing for you and your family!!!

    Another baby GIRL!!!!!! YAY.

    Congratulations to you! I soooo wanted to use the name Gianna (saint plus I’m Italian!) but my husband’s last name is Tang and it just sounded like a strange matchup to me. Beautiful! Can’t wait to hear about the birth! I need positive stories of spiritual birth right now!
