Code 5-1-1: We’re Going In!

We’ve got the 5-1-1 code and we’re going in! I guess our kids like to put their momma through labor in the middle of the night and being born on Tuesdays!

I guess that 3 mile hike at Cannon Beach yesterday did the trick! Stay tuned for the official baby Lim #2 announcement on our blog with exclusive photo coverage!

Due Date Plus Nine

Nine Days Overdue

Yes Kadie, the world has gone upside down.

I didn’t think we’d go longer than the average, especially since that’s how long Kadie took. The weird thing is that there are no signs that labor is coming. So we’ll wait. All the while, I’m enjoying some time off from work and relaxing to a two-week free trial of Netflix’s streaming video service.

Thanks to everyone for their excitement and prayers. We’ll post on our blog when we go to the birth center and an official birth announcement probably a few days after.

Due Date Plus One

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by…

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise…

I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations. For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and your truth unto the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.

Excerpts from Psalm 57

This morning marks the first day past my due date. It’s funny how setting a date brings all kinds of expectations, hopes, and disappointments. In my mind I know that doctors can only predict so much, but that in reality, God has the final say when it comes to our time to be born, much less all the days total we have left to live on earth. And so I’ve decided to take it one day at a time and praise God for all the blessings he’s given me, and rest in the fact that He knows the future, which is good enough for me to know right now.

Kadie’s Going To Be A Big Sister!

Cute Babay Number 2That’s right! I’m pregnant! About 10 weeks. Due in the end of June. And NO, we’re not going to find out what sex this baby is either until he or she is born. In the words of Wesley from The Princess Bride, “Get used to disappointment.”

Happy Birthday Kadie from Daddy

Looking back at my first year with you, all I can think of is how thankful I am to have you as a daughter. You are so sweet, beautiful, and funny—just like your mother.

Kadie’s Third Month

The Chinese people view a baby’s 100th day as a special day. Our handy counter on the bottom of our blog says she’s now 346 days old! It was my goal to capture those first 100 days of Kadence’s life and I finally created the last video of her first 3 months. This one is particularly fun because of her first fits of laughter.

A Dolly For My Baby

At some point I had noticed Kadence smiling, kicking her feet and making noises when she saw other babies. She spends a lot of time at home by herself, so I decided it was time to get her a little friend.
