So, I kept telling Israel that we needed to make a post about the new baby, but he thought it would be HILARIOUS for us to just announce the birth of our child in November – especially considering that we’re way up here and no one can see me growing. Anyhow, he’s at ASI telling the world, and telling them now that we’re expecting. If the Lord tarries and the kids grow up to read this xanga, this one will feel left out since I haven’t posted much about this pregnancy. So, this is to our second boy. “In the womb, you’ve treated me much better than your big brother Imanuel!” And, to answer my brother’s question, there are no pictures of me because I’ve ballooned so dramatically that my doctor even asked me if I would want to be referred to a dietician. Okay, it’s not that bad, but that conversation did happen…
Anyhow, right now, the Imanuel is playing with his Sabbath felts and I’m waiting for 3ABN to load up so that by the time I start watching what’s been loaded, there won’t be any stops or delays during church. We didn’t have church service here in Houghton because of the U.P. Campmeeting that’s going on right now at Camp Sagola. And, after Imanuel woke up 3 times last night (probably due to indigestion – late dinner and a combination of bad dreams), I didn’t feel up to driving all the way over there for the day. So, we’re having church at home. We’re planning on watching ASI’s church service on www.3abn.org. Israel will be giving a report during offertory and Chester Clark will be speaking so we’re excited about that. (We just have to wait for it to load!!)
So, hopefully this killed some time. I’m so thankful that it is the Sabbath. The weather outside is absolutely perfect and after “church”, I think I might take the boys (all 3 of them) to the park to enjoy some of God’s creation.
Congrats! I was wondering when this news would be broadcasted…
Ah, okay. “He” as in he, the baby boy, ballooning in the baby-growing zone.Ramosito Dos is an excellent expectation for all of us, even if he does get the shaft in terms of pictures, memories, etc. But Judy and Israel are not firstborns so that is how they were treated, too. You will have much empathy for your 2nd bambino, whereas John and I who are both firstborn my-way-or-the-highway will not. When that day comes. Though we are working on making it through the first, Lord have mercy.John wants to know if you told the doc that you were vegan when he/she wanted to make the referral to dietetics. That would have been fabulous. Take care, Jude, and while you will be outnumbered by the menfolk, just remember, you are the Queen Bee of the hive. Smooches.
One child, one on the way, two cats, one dog… and a partridge in a pear tree. Congratulations! Blessings to your family.
congratulations!
wonderful! I was wondering if it was true, because Valmy mentioned it to Jonathan….so , it is true! Praise God! Hope you are doing well. Blessings. D.
Oh, wow. Congratulations! =)
Congrats! Wow, as the Koreans put it, “you have heavy lips” to have held this great news in for so long! Wow, if you already know the sex, and you’re due in Nov, that must mean you’re pretty well on your way in this pregnancy. I’m very happy for you. I totally can relate to you about not posting recent pics. I totally feel that way now, AFTER having the baby. Take care of yourself. And, Israel, you take care of your wife!!!
Congrats! 🙂
