It has just been way to long since an update has been sent out! I had all good intentions of sending one while we were in the states for 7 weeks. But guess good intentions never got anything done if you don't just do it! We learned the middle of Jan. after an ultrasound that our baby was in a breech position. After trying different things to try and unsuccessfully getting it to turn, we decided it was best to f ly back to the states to deliver our baby. We were amazed at how well everything fell into place so we could go back. It just seemed Gods hand was in it, which gave us a great peace that it was the right thing to do. So on the 24th of Feb. we flew back to WI. Our baby was due the 17th of March. So we “thought” we had some time to get things lined up with our midwife and all. But baby had other plans. Mayika Faith made her appearance into the world on March 5th, just a week after we arrived back in the states! She was born breech, but thanks to God and a midwife that was very experienced in breech births, everything went well, and she was born at home without to many complication! While home we filled our time with just simply spending a lot of time with family, friends and catching up from the busy schedule we had the last several months here in Haiti. I (Donavon) spent some time working in the shop and updating my dads website for his business. Thea spent most her time taking care of 2 little girlies! After getting all the paperwork done for Mayika’s passport and getting it back we decided to come back here to Haiti on the 14th. So now we find ourselves settling into a new normal again here in Haiti. There have been several staff changes while we were gone. Plus we brought a new little one back with us. So even though its mostly the same, its still quite different! We are very thankful for Janell, as she is a huge help in making meals and things that greatly helps lighten Thea’s load, giving her more time to take care of the girls. Thanks to everyone that prayed for us during the last couple months! We definitely felt them and are very grateful for all the support we feel from you our friends and prayer supporters! Below is a picture of Mayika, and also a new Family Picture.
