Coming February 2017...

  This year has been full of new transitions for our family. Next year doesn't look to be any different. The doctor told us that we should be expecting a baby boy in February 2017. We are excited but it seems like the realization of this new addition is finally beginning to settle in. Especially after taking some maternity pictures. I've added some of them here on this blog and it is clear that something is growing inside that belly! We've begun a list of boy names. Its getting shorter all the time. We've been advised to think of a girl name just in case, but nothing comes to mind because we used all the good ones on Miss Maria Elizabeth Sauceda.

   Becky can also tell that this one is much more active than Maria was in the womb. He's kicking and stretching and not letting mama sleep as much because of it. Often people with multiple kids will tell you that every kid and pregnancy is different and we can already tell that will probably be the case with this rambunctious little boy.

   Unless something unexpected happens, he will be born in New York. We are researching doctors and hospitals here in the "Empire State" and in November we will be switching insurance plans. Please pray for us as we change providers for a better plan (one in which we can find a doctor that we like). Also please pray that we could afford the upgrade of a new insurance plan, as our needs are growing. We continue to pray for this little boy's health and strength as well as mama's. God has blessed us with each other and we are not taking any of the time our family has together for granted.

^{Psalm 139:13-14}

¹³ For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
