We Now Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming....

See if you can find the difference in the pictures of Olga directly below.







This was taken the day we arrived in Egypt.









This was taken on our final day in Egypt.


Notice anything a bit different? Granted, she is wearing black, but this does not entirely disguise the fact that....hmmm, how do I say this and remain married?? Well, she's a bit more 'curvacious'. Now this could be due to any number of things, but it is in fact a 'baby bump'! We are excited to share with everyone that we will be welcoming a маленькая девочка ('little girl') into our family around mid-summer. As if just living here in Russia wasn't interesting enough, we have decided to 'kick it up a notch' and add a baby to the mix!

Olga and baby are doing quite well and Olga has been thoroughly enjoying pregnancy thus far. In the last ultra sound that we had done we even saw her sucking her thumb. I have to admit that I needed the doctor to help me out here because as much as I wanted to see that, it looked like a fuzzy blob until it was pointed out. I guess the other big news on the baby front is that I fealt her kick last night, which is the first time for me to feel it (Olga claims she has been feeling this for the past week or so).

I believe that with this news the direction of this blog may take a new direction!
