I've mentioned Alexander's Coffee Shop in my blogs before- our favorite coffee shop in town, Bolivia's version of Starbucks. Well, long ago I fell in love with their sweet, warm cinnamon rolls- a favorite of mine since childhood. I don't often treat myself to these indulgent treasures, but a while back, I made a pact with myself and Scotty that as soon as I became pregnant, my reward would be a cinnamon roll. Well, here's me with my long-awaited bun! That's right folks, we have created Bud Miser...well, God did the hard part I'd have to say. We are happy to announce that we have been blessed with a baby, due February 11 and we are ecstatic! We've been talking, thinking, dreaming, and praying about this for some months, and now that it's reality, it's a little scary! But, I am enjoying the process of sharing the news with our friends here and receiving all kinds of interesting baby advice, which I might write a blog about in the future. I'm looking at maternity clothes online, since my options here are super limited, and we're looking forward to having a crib and other baby furniture made to our specifications to turn a guest room into the nursery. God is good in His perfect timing and it is an amazing and awe-inspiring thought that there is a real being inside of me that can live and form into a baby over the next 9 months. Join with us in praying for little Bud and the extra stresses on my body that I might experience living at a high altitude- we trust God is in control.

Scott is going to be a dad? WOW!!!
For some reason it takes me back to all the goofy things we did as teenagers. Scary! If I can do it so can you and I have the highest confidence that you will be great at it. Plus, you have a great role model in your own dad to go by.
Congratulations to you both!
I was waiting for you to come out of the pregnancy closet over here :-)
Congrats on the lil' bun. You guys will be great parents...our kids were so blessed to know you for just a short time!

Congratulations you guys! We are so excited for you and this new life God has created! Much love to you both! Lisa- those cinnamon rolls look so good! :)
Congrats, guys. Just remember that all the nausea, pain, discomfort, and other things that come along with pregnancy is WELL WORTH IT!

exciting and scary. There are a million people that are going to have a baby in the next year, that I know.
I think it's great. I don't feel alone. Congrats again.
Have you been exhausted? I know that I was knocked for a loop in the first couple of months.
Hooray for Baby Miser! (or Baby Bud?) I’m thrilled for you guys. Btw, I *just* got home from having ice cream with Linda Her--do you remember her from small group? Anyway, she brought up your names and could not stop gushing over what a wonderful and ideal couple you are. You really made an impression on her the short time we were all together. Just thought I’d pass that along … dear Wonderful & Ideal Couple Who Feels Much Too Far Away (esp with your celebratory news!).
