Hi there. Quick belly pic update... More pics to come about Costa Rica!

13 weeks...

Preggers

Well, in this picture we have 3 people...2 of normal size and one about the size of a big lime (3in), growing inside me and making me SO TIRED. But thats a good sign. Surprise! We are pregnant! Most of you probably know. Trusting in the Lord this second time around hasn't been easy, but thats all we can do. We know the baby is already loved more than we can imagine by Him and is already in His arms no matter what happens.

In the picture I am holding up our 8 week ultrasound picture. Currently I am almost 13 weeks pregnant. Baby Wallace will make an appearance some time in August, around the 15th. Met with our midwife, whom we love, and are planning to birth at a birthing center here in Edmonton.

More posts to come, but now I must feed my craving for corn and taco...(while I download spanish lessons to practice for our trip to Costa Rica in 2 weeks!)
Adios!

Romans 12

Today's verse reminded me of when Andrew and I memorized all o Romans 12 while in New Zealand. "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." (Romans 12:12 ESV)
It's quite applicable for my life right now... I haven't been in prayer as much as I wish I was, I need patience and God's strength through this month and especially this past week, it's been a hard one. And taking joy in the amazon hope I have with Jesus Christ even though I'm feeling down.

Day 2

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:13 ESV)

Part the reading for today . Work and school today, nothing new.

Day 1?

Here goes my attempt to daily blog( for like the 10th time) it will start with a blurb: Andrew and I are very upset today because minx spilled lemonade on our visa... Could be worse but we need to send in FBI So add another 6 weeks on to delay time. It's very maddening because we were one day from mailing it out.
Verse of the day: Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, (1 Peter 5:6 ESV)
Doesn't relate to this situation as much, more to my cooking competition coming up this Saturday to be humble with the cooking talents God has given me.
