Going to the States for the Birth

Well, it’s official. We have our tickets and we are coming back to the states for the birth of our baby boy. We leave Prague on August 21^st and we will be returning sometime mid-January (after John’s wedding – hooray for them!)

It was a difficult decision to be gone from Prague for close to 5 months, but we both feel really good about it and feel like it is the right decision for us and our baby at this time. There are things that we will miss being gone from Prague for that long, especially a handful of wonderful friends here that we will really miss a lot. But, we are looking forward to this extended time in the states. Not only will it be great to be around family and old friends for this life changing event in our lives, it will also be nice to have this little hiatus from normal life in Prague and hopefully give us a chance to think and pray and come back with renewed vision for our future.

We will be spending most of the time while we are in the states in Arizona and working with a midwife there who we are both loving. We hope to make it up to Seattle for Thanksgiving and we may have to go out to LA for a quick trip in order to apply for the baby’s visa, but we are not sure yet on travel plans while we are there or how much we will want to travel with a new baby. We do hope to see as many of you as possible while we are there though and introduce you to our little boy! J

We love you all!

Rejoicing in the journey -
Bethany
