To The States for the birth

Today Krista departed for the States, headed to her sister's home in Wisconsin where we'll be for the delivery of the baby. She's traveling alone at 35 weeks pregnant and the boys and I will join her next week. We had to move her ticket up because, as her OB-GYN told her last week, "You're 34 weeks pregnant - why are you so big?" Let's just say bedside manner is a little more matter-of-fact over here. Out of concern that she would, indeed, look bigger than she is, we elected to move Krista's ticket up by a week to get her home well within the airline's limits for flying when pregnant. Meanwhile, I'm home with Josiah (3) and Elijah (1) for a week before I fly with them to the United States all by ourselves. Pray for Krista and then pray for us boys!

Krista arrived safely in the States after an uneventful journey. Our poor brother-in-law now has TWO pregnant women in his house! I'm sure he can't wait for me to arrive and get Krista into our own place for a couple months. -Shauen
