What if something happened to her in the meantime? Isn't having her baptized- understanding that for Catholics baptism is not just a symbolic gesture- far more important than who is there to see it happen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36234406.post-82207705336788869182009-03-23T13:00:00.000-04:002009-03-23T13:00:00.000-04:00So sorry to hear of the sickness!

Glad to hear the priest was so amenable to do the baptism the next week.<BR/><BR/>Your post reminded me of the time my oldest barfed at Mass when we lived on Bolling AFB. It was in the old chapel (not sure if it's still there), and they had velvet covered cushions on the pews! What a mess it was!MilitantMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016804353250316208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36234406.post-92038321138627436472009-03-23T08:32:00.000-04:002009-03-23T08:32:00.000-04:00Ugh!

We had one lose it right after receiving communion on Ash Wednesday. Thankfully she was old enough to bolt for the door as the nausea swept over her. She almost made it out the door. Almost :-)<BR/><BR/>God Bless your new little one, especially as she is officially welcomed into the Church family next Sunday.Maurisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489369133555827520noreply@blogger.com
