Foreign Expectations

Well, if going to China is not an adventurous enough undertaking, let me spice it up. My lovely wife, Lacey, and I are 7 weeks pregnant! This was not exactly on purpose, because it really would be quite cruel if I were to scheme, "Oooo, let's see if I can get my wife pregnant so that she can go through the worst part of first-trimester-morning-sickness-with-a-vengeance when we are going to be taking a twelve hour flight across the Pacific." Assuredly, I am not that mean, nevertheless that is exactly what is happening. Lacey is experiencing her first pregnancy in all it's up-heaved glory, but is being very brave as we are still going forth with our plans to go to China. We know a few people who have been pregnant in China before, so it is certainly possible to do, and though we are scared senseless at times we continue to go forward on faith.

This may certainly provide a new twist to the tales we have of our China experience. I think my readers are getting a real bargain, because this is really going to be a 360 experience of life abroad, exploiting so many facets of international living. China just got a little bit more foreign.
