Mini Fig 2.0! (Melissa is Pregnant)

by on September 27, 2011 in Prayer Requests

Well, I was wanting to wait a few weeks to let the cat out of the bag, but Melissa is afraid people will think she is just eating too much on deputation: We are pregnant!

Don’t you just love that “we” thing? I used to think that was a ridiculous thing to say until I figured out how much the pregnancy affects the husband as well… here is a snippet from a conversation between Melissa and I:

MELISSA: I’m so tired of these mood swings… sniff sniff…

ME: Oh, honey… you don’t have mood swings, you’re doing great!

MELISSA: SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

Just kidding. I am more moody than she is. In all seriousness, we are so excited about this gift of another child. In a culture that more and more looks at children as a nuisance, I love Psalm 127:3…

Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.

Whether everything goes as we would hope with the pregnancy or not, this is a gift. We love Elena so much, and can’t wait for her and whatever other kids God gives us to know our great God that created them!
