babies, babies, babies...

well, after living in a country for three years where everywhere you look there are babies and the signs of new babies on the way, aaron and i are finally joining "the club"... yes, i am pregnant!
i am still very early, not due until february, and going through much amazement that something that is not even visible from the outside is effecting this much change inside me already :) we are very excited as this little one grows and changes daily... excited for when we can see some physical changes (which i am sure i will quickly wish would disappear), and excited for the day we will bring this little bundle home, while still seeking to take each day as the blessing from God that it is. what a testimony to the extremely detail-oriented and creative God we serve, truly knitting together each little baby, taking note at even the number of hairs on his/her head... (my paraphrase of parts of psalm 139).

we plan on having the baby down here in guatemala and then continuing to serve in the ministry as a family of three...

so, i am not sure how many people still read this blog, but we would like to find out the sex of the baby during pregnancy, and i thought it would be fun to put out a poll on who votes what sex.... any opinions anyone?
