It enabled me to find your blog, which has been so encouraging to me. I want to go and read through all your archives now. =) It did occur to me that having a foreign baby over here may open some doors. What I need to do now is pray for patience, as I can&#39;t help but get really annoyed when I receive extra attention for being foreign. I&#39;m sure you understand that it makes you feel special at first, but then you just get tired of it and want to be treated like everyone else. I&#39;m also worried my son may grow up thinking that&#39;s it&#39;s normal for everyone to be fawning over him all the time! By the way, that pumpkin spice latte recipe is a Godsend!<br /><br />Monica and Boston, I can&#39;t believe I never responded to your comments! So sorry about that. My morning sickness finally went away at 22 weeks. It felt like forever! Thanks for your prayers. =)Cahleen Hudsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14704918285007073873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22058421.post-53165767974513200912009-12-04T11:18:23.654+08:002009-12-04T11:18:23.654+08:00P.S. There is a great pumpkin spice latte recipe at www.formissionarymoms.com/2009/10/19/pumpkin-spice-lattes-for-missionary-moms/<br /><br />Enjoy!Stonefoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315274338937631860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22058421.post-1859537023459023412009-12-04T11:09:26.593+08:002009-12-04T11:09:26.593+08:00I saw your post on High Calling and popped over to encourage you. I&#39;ve lived in this part of the world for 8 years and have been pregnant/given birth over here 3 times (in 3 different countries!!) It is an experience for sure :)<br /><br />Your little one is a blessing from the Lord and you will be utterly amazed at how many doors that &quot;foreign&quot; baby will open to ministry. Instead of seeing how things have changed in difficult ways right now, focus on what He is doing...He is enlarging your tents for a greater work. I know it doesn&#39;t always seem that way, but it really is true. <br /><br />I pray you are encouraged and exhorted in your faith today, friend!Stonefoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315274338937631860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22058421.post-31366323004537908442009-10-05T10:14:50.340+08:002009-10-05T10:14:50.340+08:00hope you feel better soon!<br /><br />will be praying for you and especially that you will/have a group of friends there that can comfort you in the midst of your sadness/&quot;disdain&quot;bostonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22058421.post-51778727705329549732009-09-30T21:50:53.960+08:002009-09-30T21:50:53.960+08:00no help with the nausea from me, but I can help with the language learning. have you considered hiring a native speaker to come to your house who can work with you? of course this will only work when you&#39;re feeling better. when I lived in Indonesia, I did the LAMP method (or book? can&#39;t remember). basiclly, it&#39;s learning whole phrases from a native speaker. you memorize it and then go out to find people to practice on. <br /><br />I&#39;m glad you updated. stay well!Monica @ Paper Bridgeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17663940668422257848noreply@blogger.com
