News from the wife

I am allive...even though you havn't heard from me personally for a while... I am allive!!! For all of you knowing the joy of pregnancies; I am finally starting to feel a little bit better, beeing able to eat more without having my face reflected back from the toilett water... hehehe. But the joy of a beautiful miracle happening inside me, is just wow... makes me even more awestruck by the greatness of my Heavenly Father.

Did you like the scan pictures?!? It's one of the things that no one understands and are awed by except parents, but it's our little baby; Mini Howes!!!

I was home in Norway last weekend just to make sure that four of my friends got married and to celebrate with them.. (yes, I was in two weddings) Both the brides (Kjersti and Tone) looked beautiful, and the men (Paal og Erik) didn't do a bad job on their dress choice of the day. Oh, the joys of marriage. I am soooo excited for them.
And not just that -it was so good to be home and just spend time with my family -Eva's home from Chicago, and Benny & Anna home from their adventure in Thailand. Sunniva had decided to leave for Germany, but my mummy and daddy was there -the best as they allways have been and allways will be. I am so blessed with the family God has given me -Guys; I love you!!!

Some might think sick...but hey, I am pregnant and are allowed to be emotional. For another 6 months I can blame all my actions on pregnancy... I love it!!! But also living with four boys I kind of see my duty to be the girl in the house, with all that brings.

Ooooops, I was just about to finish off remembering that I haven't told you one amazing thing. Rejoyce for another member of Gods family was born into the Kingdom on Friday. AMazing...God is so good... and the Asian communities shall have no peace from the good news of the Gospel, and the testimonies of this awsome girl.

From mummy Howes on this sunny day!!!

Proof - there really is a baby there!

Have a look here for some baby scan pictures.

Baby Scan today

We're off to the hospital this morning for our first baby scan! Will get a picture on this site as soon as poss. I've seen hundreds of other people's baby scan pictures, but I'm told that when it's your own, the feeling is unbelievable.

We have also moved out of our little rented house in Ambleside and have taken up residence with the boys of 131 Wigston Road. It's like one big happy family - certainly an education for Rich, Matt & Ben in the finer points of pregnancy, morning sickness and the perculiarities of a pregnant woman's eating habits. We all had a curry together last night for 'house bonding' purposes!
