Wow Baby!
Wow baby! It’s a Baby!
Surprise!
Rachel knew she was pregnant right away, I knew she wasn�t and continued to go along with my denial until the second pregnancy test came back positive and she said �told you so�.
Ultra Sounds have been the highlights of past two months. The first one was not all too impressive, it looked like someone had put a chick pea in Rachel�s stomach; not too exciting. The second ultrasound looked like a bigger chickpea with a heart beat (very interesting). So anyway, �Little Toddster� is almost 15 weeks old now and we went to get it�s third ultrasound done last week - a month can really make a difference. Wow, our chick pea turned into an alien in four weeks, with arms, legs, fingers and all sorts of things including an absolutely massive oversized head to top it all off.
At first when the ultra sound began we could see the baby perfectly, it was facing us directly and wasn�t moving a muscle (in the picture). The doctor said it was probably sleeping, so Rachel decided to poke her tummy and say �Wake Up�. Instantly the baby started swinging its arms and kicking its legs trying to move.
It was very exciting and we got to see it wave at us. So apparently our child is extremely obedient and very social.
So to make a long story short, we will be coming home to Maine this coming July in order to settle down and prepare for the birth in early November. It was a difficult choice to leave India, but we feel it is the right move for us right now and it will give us the opportunity to have our new addition near family and friends. So we will be finishing the school year here at Woodstock and after a short visit from Rachel�s family, we will fly home on June 26 to North Carolina, then on to Georgia, then on to Indiana and finally ending in Maine around mid July.
Your prayers are much needed, we currently do not have a place to live in Maine locked down, nor do we have a job lined up with insurance, etc. So please do keep us in your prayers.
We will be very busy over the next eight weeks so the website is sort of on hold, but feel free to email us anytime if you want to chat.
- Adam, Rachel and Mini Todd.
