Gender Prediction

      Baby DeLaughter Boy or Girl?

  Our next ultrasound is November 6th, and we will be able to tell the baby's gender at that time....   

         But what about old fashioned gender predictors?
According to the theory of how your bump is shaped------  It's going to be a Girl

According to the Chinese Calendar-------                              It's going to be a Girl

According to if you have a lot of morning sickness or not---It's going to be a Girl

According to the baby's heart rate--------                               It's going to be a Boy

According to my completion-------                                           It's going to be a Girl

Craving Sour and not sweet-----                                               It's going to be a Boy

According to my hair growth rates----                                    It's going to be a Girl

Carrying out front----                                                                It's going to be a Boy

Craving fruit-----                                                                       It's going to be a Girl

Difficult part about living in America

One hard thing about being back in America is that because the kids are in school and not being homeschooled, mornings are much more rushed.

    In Tanzania, we get up around 7am, get a leisurely breakfast, get ready, Heather and I will usually take a walk, then we'll have a worship time, and personal Bible reading before starting official "school" around 9am.  


   Now, in Lincoln, we are up at 6 or 6:30, rushing through breakfast and getting ready and the kids are out the door by 7:45am.   We have had to cut out worship time, memory verses and Bible reading in the mornings.

  Recently, Bill has started having a devotional with Jonathan in the morning before school because he has a little more time.


  However, I have found this a very hard part of being back, and I'm not sure how to get it back.  I am still trying to figure out how to have those same devotional times with the kids that were so natural in Tanzania.  I find living in America to be very stressful, and over scheduled.

    This is a work in progress.  Hopefully, in the near future I'll be able to update how I was able to fit in family devotion time to our lives here.
