We learned a new phrase in language class yesterday and thought it was very fitting for something we've been wanting to share with you.
Here's the question:
"Khrawpkhrua khun mii kii khon kha?" (How many people are in your family?)
And my answer would be:
"Khrawpkhrua dichan mii sii khon kha." (I have 4 people in my family.)
Do you get it?? If not, I'll spell it out for you.
Our family currently has 3 members... Jon, Callie and myself. But, as of late May 2012, we will have 4 members. Yes, that's right. We are expecting our 2nd child! Certainly not what we were expecting for our 1st year in Thailand, but we're excited and thankful that the Lord's timing is always right.
I'll be very honest... it has made for an extra tough transition with exceptional exhaustion and morning sickness amidst moving to a new country and culture and starting full-time language training, but I'm finally feeling quite good these days and we're getting more and more excited to meet this little one.
So... were you as surprised as we were?? ;)

Yay!! So exciting! Thanks for sharing the news! Can't wait to hear more about him/her! Will baby be born in Thailand?
Congratulations Bonnie & Jon! How exciting! But yes, I can see how that would be a little different from your original picture of your first year in Thailand:) Thanks for al the updates you've been providing, I've been praying for and thinking of you all.
Did you know you were pregnant before you left for Thailand? Congrats! Now when you come back here for a few months you and Craig will both have little people to introduce to each other.
Yes Nini... I'll be delivering in Chiang Mai.
And yes Rebekah, we told Craig & Jen the day we flew out of Canada. We both look forward to introducing our little ones to each other someday!
Congratulations Bonnie. How exciting!!
Oh so much joy!! What fantastic news. I love that God is present in all timing, and that he has his hand on this little one already. Much love to you three as you anticipate the arrival of this little one!
that was a great way to tell people! Praying for you guys!
Yay! and oh my goodness! I can't imagine that on top of everything else - but, yes, God's timing is perfect and how exciting! And now when I'm sighing and wondering how in the world I'm gonna get through the next couple of weeks/months, I'll think of you and thank God that at least I don't have morning sickness!!!!!
You know we are thrilled! Looking forward to meeting your little one, we continue to pray for the health of the baby and your health and energy! Yay!!!
Hmmm! 'dichan' - does that mean '4'?? My Thai is just a little weak!!
How exciting for all 3 of you... and a huge congratulations! Just think, baby #2 won't even have to go to language school. Stay healthy!!
Ron and Elaine
Elaine-- 'dichan' is actually the female way to say "I." The word sii is the number 4 :)
My sister's been stalking your blog and told me you "outed" the pregnancy! You know how thrilled we are and yep, we were just as surprised as you were! Glad to hear you're feeling better! Love, love, love you all.
BIG congrats to you guys Bonnie!!! I'm sure it will add some extra challenges to your adjustment out there, but you're strong, and you'll do it!!! Exciting...
Congratulations! I can imagine it must feel a little bit crazy to begin adjusting to a new culture AND be pregnant at the same time... but it is still very very exciting!
How did I miss this post! CONGRATS!!!
Hey, Congratulations...Callie will be excited to be a big sister and just take care of yourself. We need you to stay strong.
