The Latest with HITS

We are currently at the hospital. In regard to HITS, I will not be there tonight. So all lessons will be canceled. HITS will not open until around 5:00pm tonight. All teams scheduled to come, still plan on coming unless I (Chaun) call you. No baby yet...but progress is being made! We'll keep you posted.--Chaun

Is today "the day"?

Just wanted to keep everyone informed that today might be "the day" that "Baby Bergmeier" enters this world. It's 6:15am and contractions are getting longer, stronger, and more frequent. We'll keep you posted.--Chaun

The Waiting Game

Have you ever considered the relationship between waiting for your baby to be born and waiting for the 2nd coming of Christ? This is something that I have been thinking about a lot recently. Certainly, we have read many times about the quickness of the 2nd coming in 1 Thessalonians 5. Christ will come like "a thief in the night. While people are saying, 'There is peace and security,' then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman..." My wife knows all about this now. Labor pains come upon her suddenly.
From a man's perspective, I don't really understand this. We are not the ones feeling the pain. And the majority of the time (in the morning), while she is teaching, I don't see her in these pains, since I am at home studying for my seminary class. So, what does this waiting process look like from a guys perspective? And should we wait the same way for the 2nd coming of Christ? My responsibility is to be found ready when my cell phone rings. And it will come quickly. However, do I sit and stare at the phone all day while nothing else gets accomplished? NO! I prepare/clean the house. I get the bags and car ready. I get my work done, so that when the phone does ring, I will be ready to go. The same is true as we wait for the 2nd coming of Christ. I do not sit at home and stare at the sky all day (or even worse, sin). Instead, I strive to accomplish his work so that when the "trumpet sounds", I am found blameless. Oh, how much greater that joy will be when Christ comes and we are found doing his work. I hope that you will be ready and not be taken by surprise at the 2nd coming. James 5:8 says, "Establish your hearts, FOR the coming of the Lord is at hand."--Chaun

Here's another pic of our baby. "Baby Bergmeier" has one week to be born. If Becky doesn't deliver the baby by next Monday (April 16), then she will be induced. Our doctor, Becky, and I all think the baby will come before next Monday.
Question: Does this picture look like a boy or girl? (we don't know what we're having)...I changed my mind and think it's a girl!--Chaun

ultra sound pics

We just got back from the doctor and we got some pics of the baby on it's due date (today). We were were told that the baby weighs 8lbs (+,-1lb). That's gonna be a big baby for Becky. Please pray for her. I'll post a couple of pics of the baby from different angles.

Week 40

This picture was taken Easter Sunday. Becky is at week 40. Are we going to have an Easter baby? We'll keep you posted.--Chaun
