We’re Having a Baby and it’s a…
By Paul Vernon on Aug 24, 2010 in Izi
Over the past seven months we have had a number of ultrasounds, including an attempt to have a 4-d video ultrasound at the private hospital in Chiang Rai (the technician was not available) in order to determine whether we are having a boy or a girl, and until last night she just wouldn’t cooperate with our attempts. But now we are pleased to announce that we are having a baby girl!!! Lori is due on October 16th and we are very excited for the newest arrival to the Vernon family.
Pregnant in Paradise
This has been such a pleasant pregnancy that we haven’t done too many updates as Lori has progressed. We keep looking for something to write about, but with a pregnancy the only “newsworthy” items are usually negative news like morning sickness or complications. Thankfully, this pregnancy has gone very smoothly, with the exception of a brief food poisoning stint, Lori and the baby have been wonderfully healthy.
Abigail has been doing very well with whole the process and she is always talking about how she’s going to be a big sister and all of the things she is going to do with “her baby”. It’s really nice that she’s old enough to absorb some of the changes that will happen in her life once her baby sister arrives. She has a good friend who just had a baby sister as well and has been able to observe a big sister and how to treat newborn babies.
We’re excited about this new chapter for our family, and we are grateful for all of you around the world who play such important roles in our lives and ministry.
p.s. for those of you who are asking the inevitable next question, Lori and I are still discussing what we are going to name her. we do have a name that we are leaning towards, but I don’t think Lori wants me to share it with everyone yet.
I’m Zealous, Admittedly, But Enigmas Leavemystery.
p.p.s. yes, i did intend to remove the space between the last two words of the last sentence.
Congrats you, two. Sisters are so wonderful.
Lori, you look beautiful.
LORI and PAUL
I am very excited to hear how God is blessing and growing your family. I know your Abi will love her new sister. When my niece saw her new sister for the first time she said, “I love her!” I pray Abi has the same response to the wonderful blessing God has brought you both.
Bless you both, Kathy
Hi Lori and Paul,
Miss you so much! It is hard to believe that you have been in Thailand this long and it is really your home now. I am sorry I have not return in 2 years. I moved to the city and I am remodeling a bungalow. I am also enrolled at Arapahoe Community College in the Interior Design Program. Exciting stuff here. Hailee moved to California a few weeks ago.
I hope to come see you soon. Maybe over one of my breaks. Love an hugs to everyone.
You look beautiful! Blessings for you and your growing family!

Congrats, Lori and Paul! Sisters are the best and I have one to prove it!
I pray that the rest of your pregnancy goes well and that she comes quickly and easily! Love you all so much!!
Love, Shelea (and Eric, too)
Dear Paul and Lori,
What wonderful news!! Tell Abi, I can hardly wait to see her baby, hopefully in the New Year. God is continuing to Bless you.
My love In Christ,

We’re so happy it’s another girl. Now were even with 3 boys and 3 girls.
Congratulations on your new addition! Wow, it’s been a while since the Tom Fest days, eh? =) Shelea has been keeping me informed about what you’re doing since then- awesome!!
We just had some friends visit us from Chiang Mai and my husband and I would like to visit there someday. I think you are more in the mountain area though, yeah? I’ll check it out. =)
I too hope the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly for you all! =)
