Baby busts a move

For those of you interested and keeping track, here is the first (and to date, only) photo of little baby Rosenbloom (its the smudge on the left). We will not be finding our the sex or doing any genetic testing, so this may be the only in-utero glimpse we get of this little one before its official debut in late September. We will see how things go; keep those fingers crossed for the quiet, calm, water birth we dream of.

Sera is still struggling to find grace in food, but is doing much much better. Lots of growing taking place inside, but can't be seen or really felt yet. Her waistline is starting to disappear, though. With the exception of nausea nd the general feeling that her body no longer belongs to her, things are well. She is looking forward to enjoying food, an upcoming 10-day pre-natal yoga retreat in Egypt, and cooking again.



Adam is thriving, as always, here in med school la-la land. He aced his neuroanatomy test last week, and can be seen here playing the role of ex-pat West Wing extra pitching to Senator Brownback of Kansas at a fancy hotel in Jerusalem. In between bible thumping and roll calls, he managed to make it out to our neck of the woods to talk to the King of Jordan, mediate mid-east peace, and talk to a bunch of no-name med students. And of course, in person, he didn't breathe fire (those politicians are so smooth). Adam made a pitch to revive the Global Health Corps Act of 2005, offering young doctors the opportunity to work abroad in developing countries on behalf of the American government in return for academic debt relief. He seemed open to the idea, so if the Global Health Corps ever comes to be, you all know who to thank!


Spring is springing here, we are enjoying the longer days, and green (even if its just weeds). Sera's Mom, good family friend, Lisa Morgan, and COHI's Administrator (one of our fave people) Leilani Johnson are all on their way to our home in the next two weeks. Can't wait to see you all, yeah!!!!! We are overjoyed to show some hospitality to those of you who are so generous to us so often in our lives.

More to come, but thought you might be itching for an update. So consider that done. Checking it off the proverbial list....love from us, and little growing baby, too!
