A New Noriega is on the Way

Well, I have been feeling VERY tired since like a week after the wedding. Nelton thought I was pregnant, so we went in for a blood test at the hospital. It came out negative, so we just thought we weren´t prenant.

One week ago, Nelton wanted me to retake a home pregnancy test and I was all like, No´, I just don´t want to get my hopes up again for nothing. I´m perfectly fine with waiting.

It´s one of those things that we had decided to wait on, but when you think you´re pregnant, you can´t help but get excited. So when I found out I wasn´t I was sad.

I told him that I would do it in the morning, since that´s the best time to do it anyway. I was really hoping he would just forget about it.

Well, no. 6 am rolls around and Nelton is poking me like a little kid at Christmas cheering ¨Let´s take the test! Let´s Take the Test!!¨ I tired to tell him to go back to sleep. I was sooo tired. But he wouldn´t quit, so I got up and took it.

Nelton was actually the first to know, because I thought it was negative. The one line was a dark red and the other a lighter, pinker cooler. So I didn´t think it was right. He had his nephew come over who confirmed it (he works in the labs at the hospital). And we took another one, and sure enough, positive, both!!

So we have been in and out of doctor´s visits.

I am doing well. But still very tired. That´s starting to get better too.

We think the due date is June 17th, and we would like to have the baby in the States. However, there is no telling.

Nelton heads back to the jungle on Monday for a short trip. He won´t let me go yet, because malaria is very dangerous for a pregnant woman and her baby. It could kill one or both, or the baby can have major complications. SOOO I´m waiting for a while before I go back. Plus we have paperwork and stuff to do that we have been working on.

Please be in prayer for all this!

We are both very excited!
