Pregnancy update...

She is still inside!

Ok, you may not really understand the significance of this... so let me explain.  Marc was born at 5am when I was 34 weeks and 3 days.  Today, for baby #2, it is 10:30am and I am 34 weeks and 3 days. Perhaps a small success... but I am thrilled that our baby girl has now officially been "cooking" longer than Marc was.  Our doctor visit yesterday went well, and she said that the baby looks strong and healthy (and LARGE for her supposed age), and if she comes any time now will do just fine.  Hooray!  Now.. let's see if we make it through Christmas and the New Year!

Whenever this baby arrives, we are excited to welcome her into the world and our family.  We trust the the Lord knows just the right time for her to come, and anxiously await that day!

Happy 4th Anniversary!

Yesterday Jarrod and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary.  These 4 years have gone by quickly, and  each year gets better and better.  So glad I get to spend the rest of my life with this man!

Jarrod surprised me coming home with roses and the urge to "go get ready" because we had reservations at a very nice traditional Korean restaurant, the Samwon Gardens.  This place is special to us because Mr. Lee (Jarrod's former employer in Seoul) took us to this same restaurant 5 years ago, during my first visit to Seoul.  He arranged a babysitter to come and take care of Marc (the first person other than Mom and Dad to put Marc to bed at night... tear! ;)

 So, with that we left on what will possibly be our LAST (for a while) pre-baby date night, - a night complete with tasty food, great atmosphere, and wonderful company. :)

The garden area was decorated with Christmas lights, making the evening magical...

 ...despite the COLD. ;)

AND then... Dessert! YUM.

 Over the course of the evening we were able to reflect on our marriage and together decide on goals for this coming year,  highlighting both a Fruit of the Spirit and one of the Five Love Languages to focus on for the year.  I am excited about the direction we are heading and the journey we are on together.
Thank-you, Sweetheart, for a wonderful evening!
