We just had our second appointment with the gynocologist. We had another ultrasound, and our baby is now 8cms. S/he was moving around, turned to look at us and even gave us a thumbs up. What a miracle and a joy! It was awesome. Of course this is Zim, so we didn't get a fancy printout, but we have the images in our minds. The doctor is very impressed with my fitness, which is another miracle, since my exercise has been reduced to lunchtime and weekend walks! God is good. There are still pregnancy challenges - like stomaching certain foods/insulting John's cooking, tiredness, worry that something will go wrong... but seeing our little baby on the screen like that... it makes it all worth it! There's a living, growing, beautiful life inside of me - and not just any life - our child!! OK, so I'm excited! November 13 - here we come. We are daily committing this little life (including health and safety) into the hands of God. Thanks for those who are also already praying for her/him.

P.S. You know when you have a pimple on your face (yes, I'm still treated with these at the age of 30) and it looks huge to you, but you just hope that it can be ignored? No luck here. Zimbabweans are so brutally honest. One lady simply said, "you have a pimple on your face" and another said, "you are looking very ugly these days - your whole face is covered in pimples! I hope it's a phase..." Oh well, nothing can beat my spirits today!
