Mark and I have two HUGE changes to share with those who happen upon our blog.
1) We're expecting a baby! Our first little one is due March 3, 2009. Of course, we're very excited. So far things have been remarkably easy- I haven't been sick at all! I did devote many hours to sleeping during the first trimester however.
I'm feeling energized now and ready for our next announcement...

2) We're moving. Mark has accepted a call as senior pastor at Wiley Heights Covenant Church in Yakima, WA (central Washington). We're getting the house ready to put on the market and hope to be heading west by mid-October. This move is exciting, but it is also sad to leave our church family and friends here in Sioux Falls. We are, however, confident that this is what the Lord is calling us to.
We appreciate prayers for a healthy baby and a smooth move.

Wow...big, but exciting, changes ahead for you! Congratulations again! I'm so glad that you have been feeling good. Are you going to find out the gender of this little one? We just had our sonogram and decided not to find out this time. Are you so excited to be heading back to Washington? I will be excited to keep up with the blog and all of your exciting changes.
Thanks for your comment...good to hear from you! Yes, it is strange that we decided not to find out the gender this time after finding out with both girls. When I was pregnant with the girls, we were in states of transition with many unknowns ahead...just didn't need another surprise at that point. This time around I'm just not feeling that need to know, and I'm enjoying the anticipation. Plus, this will probably be our last, so it will be fun to do this one a little differently. Well, keep me updated on how you are doing. So good to hear from you!
Congratulations Swansons! Honestly, nothing makes me happier today than knowing that there will be a little one coming into the world with you as parents!
XOXOXOX
Nathan, Barbara and Sanne
