We praise the Lord for His timing and His answer to our prayers regarding starting a family. He has said, “Now is the time.” Rebecca is now in her 2nd trimester and is due on January 3, 2009!
There have been some rough times of “morning sickness” that have most often occurred in the afternoons, but even in the midst of nausea Rebecca has glowed with the joy of answered prayer. I like to kid her about being “miserably happy.”
After spending a few months in the tribal area, we plan to go to Manaus, Brazil to have the baby. Manaus is the closest city with a modern maternity hospital...but is almost 1000 miles away from the tribal area.
Thankfully, Rebecca’s nausea seems to be subsiding and she hasn’t had too much trouble being comfortable. Trying to find maternity clothes here in the Amazon, though, is hard work. Often pregnant, Brazilian women just let their bellies hang out, but neither Rebecca or Brad are ready to go with that style!
