Surprises are good, right?

Hi girls!

As usual, I love reading all your posts and keeping up with all the news and adorable pictures from everyone. I just had to add a quick update of my own. As some of you already know, I was recently surprised to find out that I'm pregnant again! (Yikes!)

This wasn't exactly planned (we knew we wanted another baby, but not quite so soon...) so it's taken some time to adjust to my new reality. It's like: welcome to Croatia, you've been here a whopping (almost) 6 months--I think it's time you learned about the medical system, prenatal care and do some research into labor and delivery in this country. Not what I thought I would be concentrating on at this point! =)

But God is good, and I know he surprises us for good reasons. I'm already getting more and more excited about this little one, who may be here as early as February! So this baby will only be 21 months younger than Emma. Luckily I know there's experienced moms out there like Shari who have kids close together and are still living to tell about it! =)

Plus I've already had my first appointment with a great OBGYN here in Zagreb who was really nice and spoke great English (a definite plus). Some of the nurses at the clinic I went to even spoke English, though not all. I'm sure I will quickly learn the Croatian for "Please pee in this cup" and that will come in very handy for my life here. Ha!

Love you girls! Thanks for letting me share my news.
