Well, Jeff accepted the job with Medibis and will start work there on the 21st. He will be "unemployed" for about 10 days while we go on vacation. I was actually teasing him that he will be unemployed and I will be pregnant on our 10th Anniversary. Not exactly where either one of us expected to be. Both situations are temporary though - his more than mine.
The boys are excited to hear about the new baby due Feb. 6th. I think Josh was more relieved than anything to know why mommy has been feeling so bad. He told me last night before bed that he sure hopes I start feeling better in a few days. Actually, his response to the baby news was great! I showed them the ultrasound. Andrew didn't know what it was, but Josh asked, "Whose is that?" I said, "That's our new baby!" "Yours?" "Yes, that's the new baby in mommy's belly." "Yours?!" He was incredulous. He got excited after the initial shock, but I will never forget that!
We called Dad in Cambodia to tell him. I told him that Josh drew a picture for Aunt Rachel of the new baby in mommy's belly. Dad said he would never forget finding out about this baby while on the other side of the world!
I am very much looking forward to this baby. I want to enjoy my time pregnant, knowing that unless God has another surprise for us, this will probably be our last. It is sometimes a little hard to be thankful when I feel so sick, but God will get us through it all!
Let us praise Him for all His unexpected blessings!
