We are having a baby girl!

It's confirmed, Nolan's going to have a little sis! I saw the ultrasound today and this girl moves a lot. I started to feel her moving 3 weeks ago and now she won't stop! Every night, before going to bed she kicks me and I just stand there to feel her... I'm so happy!!

Lawton will be surprised, he did not feel her moving yet... he's coming home tomorrow, I miss him a lot. I realize that each year my love for him changed, it has grown more and getting deeper... 4 years!

This time he was in Malawi was a good time for me to pray and rely on God so much more.

Papai is in Lali (Malawi)

Lawton left to Malawi a week ago and Nolan and I stayed how to support him in prayers. It was sad to see him go and Nolan knew he was leaving as we said goodbye at the airport.

We receive updates from Epicentre and that's how we know how he's doing. All the details are in the email and I get really excited to see how the team is doing. It's really amazing how God has been working in this process, not only in the Yao people but on the team itself.

Lawton has been amazing, I'm just so proud of him stepping out to go and have the chance to see God's work. I'm sure it's not simple but I'm sure every little bit counts, even if it would count just for one person. God has been working in our life so much through ETS, we so much want to be part of His work and his kingdom as a family, more than ever.

Personally, I am able to worship more freely because it is all for Him. Also, I have a deeper understanding of his purposes and his ways, even though I don't understand it completely, I am able to accept and continue to follow Jesus.

When I ask Nolan where is papai, he says he is in "Lali". This little guy has been growing fast, 2 days ago I was singing him "Jesus is beautiful" and he would say the words and the rythm, so cute that i had tears in my eyes when I heard him singing.

Baby #2 has been growing fast too, can't miss the belly poking out... and since 2 weeks ago, I started to feel movement, first very tiny and weak, now it's strong especially at night. Lawton hasn't felt that yet.

This sunday will be mother's day and my dear husband was thoughtful enough to send me, my mom and his mom flowers... I was touched. I miss him...
