The News is Out!
Well, sometimes I have no blog worthy things to post, so I don't post anything at all. But today I have big news! The B. family is expecting an addition! We are thrilled to announce that little B. #2 is on the way. He or she is still very tiny, so we would appreciate everyone's prayers for healthy development and a safe arrival at the end of September or early October. I am sure that over the next 8 months I will have lots of stories to tell about my pregnancy experiences in France (especially in the dead of summer which I could barely handle last year without a/c). Currently, I am trying to locate a doctor that speaks English, however, I am not sure that a fluent English speaking obstetrician is available in our area. SO, I am planning to do my best in French and trusting the Lord to lead and guide us through the next months and the hospital experience. That's of course what we all have to do anyway no matter where we are. This is not as scary as it would have been if it were my first pregnancy or if I had not already been here for over a year. I feel confident enough in my ability to understand and communicate that I am not freaking out yet. However, I am the type of person who wants to be able to ask questions and have a good understanding of what is going on, so I am going to be very prayerful about choosing a doctor. My theme verse will be Prov. 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding (leaning to my own understanding is always my tendency). In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths." I am hoping for lots of comments on this post! And, I will need those of you who read regularly to remind me of my theme verse. Thanks in advance!

I am so thrilled for you! SA and this little sweetie will have a nice age gap. Praying for good health and a great dr.!!
I have already congratulated you, but I wanted to up your comments :) i hope that someday we will live NOt hundreds of miles apart so I can know these sweet children of yours. momma already thinks it's a girl. do you have any hunches and or hopes? and will you find out? and are you already thinking of names? and do you still think you will have more babies after this one? i assumed so, but momma said "she's not getting any younger." i only tell you that because it is a ridiculous thing to say. if it were sort of true, like someone saying what a chunker i am or that someones bratty child is bratty, i wouldn't repeat it. first things first, i know, but all of that is to say that i truly think everyone should have at least one girl and one boy because each gender is so different and so fun. on the other hand, two girl in a row can be best buds. so if you are not having more, i hope it's a boy. if there will be more to come someday, i hope this one's a girl. mostly though, i just hope he/she is healthy and happy and loves God. I am sure he/she will be, plus he/she will be bilingual to boot!
hey, do you ever wonder that if you're in france for a whole long time, sa will actually have a french accent even though she is an american? i think the turn around age is 7 years, so i suppose it's not likely. but wouldn't that be cool? i am hoping we get out of SL before my kids have a yankee accent! oh dear!
I am not sure about the number of kids that we will have- we're just taking it one by one, however, D has always pushed for 4 and he is secretly hoping that we're having twins this time! I will be happy with a healthy baby- boy or girl! However, since we are sort of all set up for a girl, that would be the easiest.
yes, SA already says French words without the American accent, which is very cool!
How exciting! I'm so happy for you. I had just been wondering the other day when you might announce that you were pregnant. I hope you are feeling good. I'll be praying for you. Love you!! APB
