Expecting!
To everyone who didn’t know yet: Yes, Mike and I are expecting a baby! Most people have know for awhile, but I had to do an official announcement. I am 19 weeks today so almost halfway! To answer some questions:
1. Yes, it was planned and wanted
2. No, we are not getting married, we’ll get to that some day
3. No, we don’t care what it will be and we like to keep it as a surprise
4. The due date is: December 31st! Have the champagne ready!
5. We are thinking about names, but for now we call it: B
In the first 3 months I was very nauseous and tired. It has improved a lot, but my new bedtime is 10pm. I always thought I could prepare for this for 9 months, but so much has changed already. My body has changed entirely, it completely out of wack. My eating patern is completely different, I feel different and I suddenly smell a lot. Of course it is all worth it and I feel privileged to be able to have a child.
We went for an ultrasound today and here’s the result. I don’t know anything yet about the health of development of the baby, we will discuss that with my ob/gyn next week.

B’s first picture. He/she didn’t want to lie still so a perfect profile picture was not possible, but you can clearly see the head and the spine. Our baby already has a mind of its own and we like it!

B is waving! On the left an arm, on the right a hand.
