Its been awhile since we posted...life in Europe has been awesome to say the least. We can drive 30min west and we are in a different country. Dan and I are constantly figuring out where to go next and how to toll our 3 kids along! Thank God they are good sports in the car, backpack, and/or plane. Since we last posted..life has turn a drastic change for us....
After Baby Gabe, Dan and I were told no more kids due to my over scarring on my abd wall. Dan had scheduled a vasectomy before Thanksgiving, but after my prompting cancelled it so we can go to Paris instead. His next appt was Jan 8th. Boy, I was excited to walk him to Urology and making sure he checked in and not back out. Throughout this time, I've started working full time in the Pediatric clinic as a nurse while waiting for a NP position to open up. The job is great and people are fun. I'm actually understanding immunizations for the first time. Well, I was getting tired, but Dan kept attributed to me working...finally, he said, "why don't you go get a pregnancy test so we can all enjoy a weekend without you worrying about it". My periods has been irregular since I do have a 3 month old at that time..I gladly walked to the closest Germany pharmacy and grabbed two and even thought of stopping by a bakery to get a piece of cake after i see the negative so I can be relieved. Well, needless to say, the test turned positive immediately. Dan and I were doubting ourselves we even google translated all the key components of the test! Here we are, just had a baby and now on our next one already. I was not ready...I didn't know to cry or to laugh. But God is good. He knows the best for us. We are now entering my second trimester and feeling good. I'm at peace right now..sometimes, I don't know how things are going to turn out or if we have to get a VAN, but God knows best. We just had our ultrasound and the technician says she's a GIRL. I'm still in shock. I'm due for another ultrasound in two weeks for better views of the baby's heart..I'll confirm again...but life is never a dull moment even when we feel like we can't handle it. I know that everything will work out and I am thankful for all my kids.
KIDDY UPDATE:
Isaac-is an awesome older brother. He is in the Germany kindergarten and picking up German faster than we know. He even translated for us one time when our neighbor girl stopped by.
Jed-energetic 2.5 year old. He is so good to Baby Gabe always entertaining him when he is upset. His newest thing to the "be the lion" and is often in character. Quite entertaining!
Gabe-he is now 8 months old (almost) loving solids..in fact, he prefer to eat with us than his special baby food. He has two bottom teeth out and a sudo-crawler everywhere. He is so sweet. He loves to be in the midst of the boys.
