This is a picture from December First of 2005.
The picture is of Harley Joy, but we are expecting our next baby in mid March. I am hoping for a little girl, Lord willing.
We weren't exactly trying to get pregnant, but we did have a discussion about it. We thought, "If we don't get pregnant soon, we really don't want to get pregnant for a couple years."
Here's the reasoning. Heidi and I have both lived in West Africa for years, and while we learned to communicate we could never have those really good, life-changing kind of discussions because our language skills are so lacking. We are really excited, Heidi in particular, to study language, and we know that if Heidi was pregnant or caring for an infant during language school... well, it just wouldn't do. She wouldn't be able to learn French like she has always wanted to.
We give God the credit for determining our steps, but we think this is going to work out just right.
Drew will finish first grade, and we will have a 6 month old baby (entertained by the other kids, sleeping through the night, nursing less often) by the time we head for France in August 2008.
Pray for us! Oh, and I'm sorry if this is how you heard we're having a baby. We can't keep track of who knows and who doesn't know. Tell all your friends. It's better than hearing it from a blog!
Congrats, again!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most wonderful news. You are excellent parents. I'm most certain that God has enabled you to be fantastic partners and fantastic parents. God has blessed you with parenting skills and to stop having children wouldn't be maximizing what God gave you!!! I think you'll be great Frazee uncle and aunt also.
