Our Exciting News!

We are excited to announce that our family of two is going to be growing into a family of three come February! We just had our second doctor's appointment and are 3 ½ months along. We got to see the little one for the second time and it was amazing to see the difference seven weeks make. At our first appointment we saw what we liked to lovingly refer to as our "beating blob", that pretty much sums up what our baby looked like. Today it was a whole new ballgame! The little one is literally 10 times larger than before and actually looked like a human! He/She was super active during the entire ultrasound, even seeming to wave at us at one point. The doctor says that everything looks great and the baby is already a big one!

We are incredibly happy and look forward to the arrival of this little one sometime around the first week of February. The baby will be born in Austria. I was recently told that Austria was rated as having the best health care in Europe, which is a comforting thought! I will continue working full time at the Oasis until close to the due date. After adjusting to life with a baby we will figure out how I can still be involved with some of the Oasis ministries. Both Dan and I are really looking forward to taking on this new chapter of our lives. We are also hoping to take a trip home in May 2009 to visit and introduce you all to our new baby! We will keep you posted in the months to come.
