African? Or American?

Remember this post?  And this post?

Well… Surprise! (To us all!)  Turns out it wasn't a tapeworm.


As Mama Rosemary says…something is cooking.

We were trying to keep it a secret until we got home, but seeing how we have some visitors coming next weekend...it's going to be hard to hide it.  So, we thought we'd spill the beans to everyone at once.

I've been to the Aga Khan--the best  hospital in Mombasa.  It's where all the mzungus and ex-pats go.  The "scan" (as they say here in Kenya) shows that everything's in good order.  I'm at about 18 weeks.  I've been dead tired, but the bleh-ness has largely passed.

Little Miss Britton makes her debut September 4th...the Saturday before Labor Day.  How fitting.

They say life is full of lots of unexpected surprises...and that has been all too true in the last year of our lives.

I think it's an understatement to say that we're excited.

Oh my gosh!!! I think it's an understatement to say that I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Smokes!!!!!!! Can I use enough exclamation points????!!!!!!!!!

I just got off the phone with Deek and we can't wait to meet Little Miss Andi. Reese can hardly contain her excitement as well. I bet they'll be the best of buddies - almost exactly 1 year apart! Kudos for hiding it so long. We can't wait to see you guys so soon!
