BABY, BABY! OH!

So in my absent-mindedness, I just realized that I completely forgot to post some of the most exciting news on the planet in this blog about Sarah and my lives here in Korea.

Sarah and I recently learned that we are going to be parents!!! We're having a baby!!! We're extremely excited and thank God for blessing us with this incredible gift, blessing, and new chapter of life.


(not Sarah's belly....just a picture for emphasis...LOL!)

Sarah is roughly 12 weeks along as of now and her due date is August 31st. We will be having the baby in Korea, and then we hope to be back in the states by sometime in late September or early October.

The decision to go through the pregnancy here in Korea was an easy one to make. Not only is healthcare extremely affordable for us here, but Sarah's Korean doctor is also incredible and extremely professional. The hospital here is top-notch, AND we have a good friend here on staff as a nurse as well.

Not to mention, Sarah would have had to travel back to the states in her 8th month (a big NO-NO) and would have had to find a new hospital/doctor without healthcare for the final month of the pregnancy and the delivery.

Bottom line, our first baby will be born here in South Korea. This in and of itself is an incredibly unique experience that we will carry with us the rest of our lives, as will our child.

We ask you all to keep us in your prayers over the next few months. We're SOOOO excited for this new part of the journey on our already exciting journey abroad!
