Baby!

Agnes and I would just like to make it public that we are going to be having a baby in mid January.
Agnes is now 12 weeks pregnant! So she is entering her 2nd trimester.
We are so happy as this is something we have been praying for, for quite a long time. Agnes and I actually lost a child last year through a miscarriage, so we are overjoyed that we are now going to be having a baby.
The last few months have been a bit scary though, as Agnes has had a few complications, and we have almost lost the baby a few times.
We have spent a lot of time in the hospital, including overnight stays, over the last few months.
Agnes also had malaria at one stage, which is dangerous during pregnancy, and they can only treat it with medicine going straight into the body on a drip.

But thankfully Agnes' health is improving and the baby is healthy in the stomach. Now that Aggie is in her 2nd trimester, things are looking a bit more stable.
I even got to see our little baby jumping, while doing the ultra sound.
Agnes is still a bit weak and tired, and needs to take lots of meds and have lots of rest, but she has certainly improved.

We have also found a hospital that we are really happy with. It is a bit more expensive, but we really want good quality care for the delivery. It is an international hospital in Jinja here, with high quality care.

We thank you for your prayers! and ask that you continue to pray for Agnes throughout the pregnancy.

We are both very excited (Agnes has already started buying lots of baby things) and can't wait to be parents (I feel like living in this community house has been a lot of practice time with little babies and children haha)

Thank you for all your love, support and prayers.

Luke and Agnes.
