Reason #2...

Reason #2 for my recent absence from blog world can be attributed to our new little one on the way! Yesterday we reached the 11 week mark and are really ready for the next two weeks to be over so that we can put the first trimester behind us! I am being reminded daily that I am not one of the blessed women of the world who carry children easily. This baby has actually brought more yuckies than I ever remember having with Nathan... so that's why the communication coming from the Bull house has been short and sweet over the past few months. We're so looking forward to coming home later this year (all four of us :) to enjoy furlough and all the yummy holiday goodies like never before :) I've found a doctor here that so far I've really enjoyed and everything seems to look good and right on track. Please keep our family in your prayers... that we'll have a healthy second child... that all three of us (Gary, Nathan, and I) can survive this pregnancy, and that all will go well for us to continue with our travels later this year as planned. Thank you for always covering us in prayer... it brings such comfort from across the miles! God bless!

  2. Yeah! I am sorry you are not feeling well. May God bless you as you grow this little one inside you and may he bless you with a firstborn son who sit quietly and plays like he is an angel from Heaven so you do not have to be sick and chase after the sweet. blessed child. :)

Having been recently pregnant, the trials of the pregnancy are still fresh on my mind so I am totally praying for you as I remember what that was like! I wish for you that it only gets better from here. Congrats to Gary and Nathan as well since I know that they must be so excited too!!

  13. Congrats. I know how you feel about not being one of the blessed to have great pregnancies. My morning sickness with Anna was worse than with Greggory so maybe its a girl!! Take care and don't work to hard.

  23. Awesome! The best year of my entire life was being pregnant the first time. The second time, not so much. Hopefully your body will adjust to all the hormones here in just a few short weeks.
