The answer to "Boy or girl?"

We had the ultrasound. Here's our answer:





Many blessings, and no, we’re not telling the name yet – you will find out when the baby is born! Don’t forget to submit your guesses for the baby pool (date, weight, and length). The winner gets a Starbucks card!

Boy or girl?


Hey all! Sorry it's been so long since I've sent out an update, but life continues to fly by! If you haven't heard, Laura and I are expecting Baby #1 in July! We find out on Thursday (Jan. 29) whether it's a boy or girl, and we're taking YOUR votes! Let us know what you think! We are also excited to hear your opinion on the date the baby is born (due date is July 11), the weight, and the length (remember, I'm 6'9"). Feel free to send back as many or as few guesses as you like - more than anything, we'd be glad to hear from you!

Laura is feeling well. She has gotten past the hump of the "morning sickness" phase, though she still doesn't always feel 100%. More than anything, she's excited about being a mommy! I am working as the associate pastor of the church we have been attending for the past year and a half (Neighborhood Bible Church in San Jose - http://www.nbcsj.org/), and my main focus is middle school students. We are right across the fence from a public middle school, and yesterday I volunteered for the first time in one of their after school programs. I could instantly tell that God is going to use this opportunity for His glory!

We are currently on the prowl for our own place. In the transition from my last job to this one, we were financially unable to keep up our rent, so we have been living with my parents for the past few months. We will be sure to get out our new address (when we have one), but a safe place to always reach us by snail mail is my parent’s address:

7072 Blue Hill Dr.
San Jose, CA 95129

Many blessings to you all! We certainly hope to hear from you, and if you're in the Bay Area for any reason, we'd love to meet up for a meal or coffee (we love both)!

In Him and for Him,
Ben Palm (for Laura and baby)
