No news is good news?

There are a couple of ways to take the title when a person says those words. In this instance, I will disagree! A couple of weeks ago, when we were scheduled to get our innoculations, Valerie decided she didn't want to get any. So, she decided to pull the "I'm pregnant" card! Can you believe it? I would have held her hand, given her a lollipop, ice cream, but she wouldn't settle for any of that.

We had the first appointment on Friday and confirmed our thoughts. We'll have the ultrasound on Wednesday. But, as it stands right now, we're expecting an April baby. The children are all very excited! The girls are pulling for a girl and the boys for a boy.

Valerie has felt somewhat sick most days. She did have four days in a row with little to no nausea. We're hoping that she will fair this week as it's supposed to be a long one. We have contingency training in which we'll be given preparation on how to handle the "hot" situations.

I'm looking forward to this time. We have been very blessed with the preparation given to us during our time. The leadership does a wonderful job providing sound biblical/doctrinal preparation with practical application...this week being a good example of such training.

I didn't include a picture of Andrew last time. This picture was taken while preparing for his bath. He loves playing on the playground (ground rubber for ground covering-That's what's smeared all over his face.) and in the sandbox. We usually dump about 1/2 a cup of sand out of his clothing afterwards.

Please pr*y for:
