\"\"I know I have completely failed at keeping you all up to date on the latest in the Pruett girls\u2019 lives and for that I apologize! Here is my attempt to fill you in in the shortest version possible…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maycie is no longer a baby but a little girl and it is so hard to believe! Sometimes I just sit and stare at her thinking \u201cwhere in the world did the time go and where did it take my baby?!\u201d <\/strong>I\u2019m not sure I like that her 2nd birthday is quickly approaching but, at the same time, LOVE this stage of life. Seeing her sweet little personality being revealed more and more is a true joy and I feel so privileged that I get to spend every day at home with her and watch her grow. She is saying all kinds of things – good things like \u201cOkay Mommy\u201d and \u201cNo thank you\u201d to things I\u2019d rather her NOT know how to say like \u201cI don\u2019t want it!\u201d and \u201cmine!\u201d She is no tame little angel but a wild, strong-willed, hilarious little princess. She loves everything girl like high heels and frilly purses but loves to wear those heels while she helps Daddy fix the car outside and wrestles the boys to the ground. Oh how she needs a little brother! Her favorite things to do are to push her baby doll around in the stroller, race her little pink car across the house, and read book after book after book…She hates to be messy and loves putting her toys away just as much as she loves to get them out. She likes her space but also likes to have all the attention. What fun we\u2019re going to have when a baby boy comes to threaten that attention! We\u2019ve had our rough times with Maycie, for sure, and I know many more to come but we are so thankful for this little life the Lord has so graciously put into our hands. How dull life would be without her!<\/p>\n

My days are spent doing all I can to keep up with Maycie! I am in my last trimester of pregnancy and it is proving to be quite different than my first. I am much more tired and uncomfortable with this little boy than I ever was with Maycie and I find myself constrained to the couch more days than I\u2019d like to be! I have a really great doctor here who has delivered many New Tribes\u2019 missionaries\u2019 babies and I trust her completely. It\u2019s a good thing too because the hospital here doesn\u2019t work like the hospital in the States. When I go into labor, no one but the doctor and nurses are allowed in the room with me. That means I won\u2019t have Brian or my mom to be with me and hold my hand! Had this been my first pregnancy I might be more nervous about this but because I had no problems with Maycie and I have complete confidence in my doctor, I actually feel ok about it. Our baby boy is doing well, although I\u2019m a little worried that he\u2019s going to be HUGE! I feel like if I get any bigger I\u2019m just going to pop and I still have 2 whole months left! He must really be a boy…I\u2019ve had a few ultrasounds and each one has shown a very healthy little boy and we can\u2019t wait to meet him!<\/p>\n

Aside from these things, my days are spent writing emails and learning the ropes from the other pilot\u2019s wife, Cynthia. She is teaching me how to do the NTMA bookkeeping as well as how to use the radio. I wasn\u2019t expecting the radio to be so difficult but it definitely takes a trained ear to be able to hear everything! She can hear things when all I hear is static! This will be an important thing for me to learn, though, as I will be the one doing all of Brian\u2019s flight following over the radio. This is exciting for me but a little scary too. Not only do I have to train my ear to listen to it, I have a whole new radio language to learn AND it means I\u2019m responsible for knowing where Brian is at all times while he\u2019s in the airplane! I have so much to learn! Thankfully Cynthia is very patient with me and is good at not overwhelming me!<\/p>\n

This year is looking and proving to be a very busy, yet very exciting year for us. Brian gets to begin what he has trained so long to do, we have another move coming up, a new baby, and all these things I mentioned before that we must learn. I sure would appreciate your prayers as we seek to balance all of these things while walking in a way that glorifies Him and that amidst all the busy-ness we wouldn\u2019t lose sight of the real reason we are here – to reach the unreached with the Gospel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
