Hey Everybody!
Well, if you haven’t yet heard – we’re pregnant! We have our first little one on the way. It is about 9 weeks along in Angela’s tummy. Interesting, this month it will grow up to 3" in length and will be about the size of an apple. Fingers and toes get their soft nails and taste buds are developed – just what I like :). Angela is feeling well and has been so blessed with only mild nausea and many mid-afternoon naps. She says shes never been so tired in her life but somebody told her its like running a marathon every day. Other than that, there are a number of (foreign) recent mothers here and they have all had really good experiences at the hospital here so we feel comfortable with that. Angela will be going for her first doctors appointment in the next couple weeks, that will probably be an experience worth sharing.
It is a real joy and wonder to be part of bringing a new person into the world. We’re very blessed to participate in such a miracle, even when it surprised us. Someone once gave us good advice, don’t get married until you’re ready to start having kids – you just never know when they will appear! :) But we’re doing well, we have an apartment and are starting to settle in to some routine.
Thanks for all your prayers. With love from Ben, Angela & the little one to come.
