I know it's been a while..

Post by Amey » Tue Dec 02, 2008 9:32 pm

since I've chimed in, but my laptop crashed and unfortunately can't be fixed until we return to the states for Christmas. Anyway, I just wanted to announce that we recently found out baby #4 is on the way and due in July! :D I also need prayer, because the prospect of having baby here in Mexico so far from home makes me a little sad :( I know God is in the details and has all my cares in His hands, I think I'm just a tad hormonal and therefore weepy :cry: You girls are great and I just had to let all my HOD'ies know we were expecting!

Congratulations Amey. That is wonderful. I can completely understand not wanting to have your baby away from home. I am praying that God brings you the perfect medical staff and the perfect comfort for you while you are away from home. :D

Amey,

That's so wonderful!!!!! Must be the time for pregnancies...I know of several who just found out their expecting! I would be concerned about delivering so far from home but think about how exciting it will be that your child will have dual citizenship! And you live in such a beautiful place...rest assured God is in the details!! Hope you have a happy and healthy nine months.

We've missed you, Amey! I would feel the same way you do. I love my family dearly, and I too would be heartsick about them not being there for the birth of my baby - but I bet God has a beautiful gift of drawing you and your dh especially close to one another in mind - and that can turn out to be a blessed gift after all! I do believe a baby truly makes a "home", and having another child will continue to bless you and your dh's family. I always think of the pioneers and how they often had no neighbors very near to them. Those little families were tight-knit - they had each other, and each other only. While I don't want to go back to pioneer days :shock: , there is something very bonding about going through life's most important experiences with only our dh's within our reach. The times that has happened with my dh and I are etched in my mind - memories about when it felt like it was just he and I alone in it - and they are what has really made our family a family of our own. Praying blessings your way!!!

In Christ,

Thanks Julie for your kind words of encouragement :) We visited the birth center last night and I am feeling much better about things. I think my Mom will fly out as well. Thanks for all your kind words ladies 8)

Congrats, Amey. I'm so excited for you! I know it's a scary thought being so far from home, and sad too, but God has a plan for you and your family. Continue to trust Him to guide you. And keep us up-to-date about how things are going. :D
