Welcome to our family blog. If you are reading this, you probably received our letter giving a little update on our lives and asking for your prayers and support. We are grateful to have each of you in our lives and look forward to sharing with you. We are committed in this adventure to being genuine and open with you here about our lives: struggles, joys, baby, and all that God is doing. On that same token, we would love for you to share with us as well as we journey toward real relationships in our lives.
Introductions aside, let's get to it! Probably most often on our minds is the fact that we are less than 4 weeks to our due date! (October 2nd). The time has gone so fast! As many of you know, we are planning a homebirth with our midwives and are trying to wrap up preparations in that regard. Our hope is for the actual birth to happen in a nice relaxing tub of warm water in the comfort of our home. The tub is rented, the midwives are on board, and we have met with a doula who will be present to assist in comfort as we journey through birth.
In other news, Stephen is in full swing with his many spinning plates. He wakes up around 4:30am and rides his bike to Starbucks for work. I know, impressive. Then he rides down to church for a few hours and gets home to get dinner on the table (...or something like that ;)). I am gearing down to begin the transition out of the lives of my clients for a time. The secret is certainly out as my belly tells all.
In the meantime, we are striving to enjoy these last days as a couple before we add a new little member to the family! We have been enjoying many mornings of fresh blackberry muffins or pancakes, veggies from our little porch garden, and the sunshine that seems to have just arrived here in Seattle.
And of course...trying to cram in all the sleep we can get before our sweet little angel arrives. It seems to be that time now. We will keep you posted! And would love to hear from you as well. You know how to reach us!
Sweet Dreams,
Sylvia (and Stephen)
