Our Family is Growing

Yes, a picture like this usually means that a baby is on the way! Lord willing the Rex McDowell II family will grow to four sometime in September. Missy and I are very excited about being parents to our second child, although Devin just looks at us when we tell him that Mommy has a baby in her tummy.

We plan on having our baby at the same hospital where my two younger brothers, Benjamin and Jeffrey, were born. Missy had her first prenatal appointment this past Thursday and we were very happy with the experience and with her doctor. Doctor Ronny Salazar, recommended to us by some missionaries from the language school, is very nice and very qualified. The technology at the hospital is cutting edge, and for the first time we were able to watch our baby's heart beating! I borrowed an idea from the Mason's blog and added a little "baby ticker" above our profile picture so that you will be able to see how the baby is developing. Pray for us over the next number of months and we will keep you posted!
