One More Important Update...



This email was written on April 10th, 2012

Much to our surprise, we're pregnant!!!!  We found out 10 hours before Jen was going under for a surgical procedure called a "laparoscopy", at which time the doc would be able to diagnose whether or not she has endometriosis (click this link here < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometriosis > for a full description of that fun medical term).  One second we were preparing for surgery and the next we're being told by the doctor that surgery was cancelled because we're pregnant!  What!?!?!?!!! 

It was a crazy ride to say the least, but one that we are so thankful to be on!  The Lord is humorous in his timing.  We have tried for 3 years and then all of the sudden, 10 hours before surgery, we find out we're pregnant.  This pregnancy is such a picture of God's grace in our life and a very tangible reminder of how thankful we have been to be on this sabbatical.

As of today, Jen is 14 weeks pregnant and our ultrasounds and blood work have looked great!  We heard the heartbeat again yesterday and are still in shock every time. Though Baby Bruecker is giving Jen a run for her money with morning sickness we are incredibly grateful for this little miracle and excited for what God has in store for us moving forward. 

We wanted to send this email out to you before we made this "public."  Thank you all so much for your prayers, love, and support during this season of our lives. 

Jeff & Jen + 1

P.S. We attached a pic of Jen's growing belly at 14 weeks.
