Exciting news!!!

We have a lot of new things going on right now in our family but there are two that we need you to be praying about!
First, we are expecting again! I am due October 10th so it is still very early. We have known for about a month but I went to the doc today and had an Ultrasound and bloodwork. So far everything looks good. Baby was right on schedule for development and heart rate was 156 which is normal. We are very relieved that things look good now but due to my last 2 miscarriages, we are being cautious. Please pray that things will continue to go smooth especially during this first trimester. Of course we had chosen the name already for a boy and we are going to stick to it because it means "gift from God" and since we did not find our gift in Ukraine we know he has blessed us with this baby. For those of you who do not remember it is Nathaniel Kaleb. If it is a girl we think it will be Faith Noelle. We are not sure about the middle name but Faith for sure as the first name.

Second, we have officially ordered Aubrey's insulin pump. We ordered an Animas pump and he is excited because it has a green face plate to put on it which is his favorite color. It should come in this week and we should do the rest of our training the next week. We hope to have him completely on the pump by the end of March early April. We are very excited because this will truly help regulate his blood sugars and he will be able to eat what he wants when he is hungry. It will not be so regimented as far as keeping a set schedule every day. We hope this will also help him adjust as he starts Eclipse at Meadowview in the Fall. He will be doing the pre k since his birthday is 2 weeks after the deadline. Please pray that we will have a smooth transition to the pump and that he will be a happier child without so many schedules and shots. We will update again soon! We are so thankful for God's blessings!

Hello from SD!
We are very happy for you guys--We will pray for a healthy pregnancy for you. We also continue to pray for Vulva--I know the right family is out there for him-perhaps he has already found it. Your boys are so handsome, I love the name Eli. Matthew has adjusted well and it speaking around 60 english words, and is a great joy. Please keep in touch--Cara norbycj@yahoo.com
