I’m Pregnant
Ben and I went to the doctor today and have been pronounced pregnant. If my own calculations aren’t entirely mistaken, we will have a baby around Christmastime. I don’t think I believe it yet, but it seems to be true. Mostly I’m just sore and exhausted …
Please pray that God will protect the baby in the coming months and we will have a healthy baby who will grow up and become a warrior for the Kingdom.
I also have a brand spankin’ new cell phone and a sparkly new home phone. Call me. (E-mail me for my numbers. I’m not going to post them here.)
Polyphasic Sleep
This sorta reminds me of my old work schedule and sleeping while commuting and between classes … but I don’t see how it would work for a person who goes to the kind of church where members have to be awake all day.
Anabiosis
Moving from working full-time in the steamy overpopulated concrete jungles of Tokyo to unpacking full-time in the arid deserted deserts of Washington … what can I say? I am blessed.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and for leaving all those comments. I needed them a lot and you can keep them coming! :) I am feeling much better (i.e. meaning I don’t feel like throwing up every time I eat, just sometimes, and no matter how much I sleep I’m still tired) and should be all better in a couple months.
Ben and I spent 7 days in Kauai, breathing silky air beneath the shadow of palm trees, walking on the beach, getting sand all over the bathroom, and eating sandwiches and drinking cocktails every day.
We moved into a lovely new apartment three days ago and I am now wondering daily how my mother is able to balance the equivalent of 2 full-time jobs and and cook and clean and be a wife and mother….
My 50 boxes of books haven’t arrived yet and even when they do, they won’t be unpacked till (d.v.) we buy a house sometime this summer, so it’ll be a few months till I see my precious babies again. Meanwhile, I’ve ordered a few books from Sky Cow Books … if you haven’t been there, check it out.
