Time, school, doors, rooms, Nate Berkus, married!
It seems every post of mine lately start with ‘sorry for being such a stranger, I’m back’. I’m not sure if this is going to be a tradition. I hope not!
Since we’re back from our Hawaii trip we have been seriously busy or tired. So, what have we been up too? The last 30 days in a nutshell:
First: what’s the time?
Hello 12 hour time difference! We still had like 5 days before we had to go back to work again. Those day were the craziest. We had SO much problems sleeping at night and NOT sleeping during the day. Those 5 days I had an average sleep of 3 hours. I was exhausted.
But there was a cure: WORK.
Who actually though that work is a medicine for jetlag (or anything for that matter)? After 2 days of being forced into the working rhythm: the jetlag was gone.
You mean, next week are school exams?
Preparing our trip, wedding and not to mention the arrival of iBaby has taken up a little of my attention. Tuesday after we came back from our trip I had to go to school. And I think my heart skipped a few beats when the teacher said: "So, this was our last class, good luck studying for your school exams next week."
Not only did I have exams, I also had to finish a paper I hadn’t even started working on yet. But I made it through. I think I passed the exams and I managed to send in my paper.
iRoom for iBaby
IBaby’s room was ‘doorless’. So my dad and Mr. Sweety together put in a door. Because everyone has a right to a door, right? Yay for my favorite men in the world!
We also rearranged our entire house. And made a 2 bedroom apartment our of a one bedroom apartment. And actually? We did not do a bad job at it. We don’t need Nate Berkus! (yeah, Oprah made it to Dutch TV a longgg time ago too).
Speaking of iBaby
We have to see our midwife every 3 weeks now. And we found out last time that iBaby is in a bit of a hurry. iBaby is already 1,5 to 2 weeks ahead of his or hers ehmm schedule. I don’t quit know what to do with that information. I promise belly pictures ASAP, because my cute belly is rapidly growing into a BIG belly. I can’t believe it is still another TWELVE weeks.
We’re married!
Last week our license arrived. Woohoo! ? Now we have to wait on the certificate with an apostil stamp so we can make our wedding legal here too.
Speaking of being married
I have to get used to my new name! Answering the phone is SO weird now.
Our last 30 days in a nutshell. I’m making sure I’m heading for more quiet times until iBaby arrives. Because I am truly a tad exhausted.
Comments
WOW! I am the first to post. That's never happened. And WOWOWOW! You have been busy!! I was wondering where you were. I have sent you a couple of emails but you never responded. Now I see why. Ok so...
1. Glad your jet lag is gone. Man! A 12 hour time difference? That must have been difficult.
2. Congrats for sending in your paper and fingers crossed for passing your exams. I am sure you did great (as always).
3. Turning a 1 bedroom into a 2 bedroom apt? Now that's inventive. Nice door.
4. Seeing the midwife every 3 weeks? So are you further along then what you all thought then? Can't wait to see pregnant belly pictures.
5. Woohoo. You're married. And how do you answer the phone? With your last name?

You shouldn't apologize for not blogging (although I miss hearing from you!) - you just got married, you're working, putting in doors and you're pregnant. You've got quite a lot of things going on!!

When are you opening the betting pool? Since you aren't telling, we can guess boy or girl too.

i haven't changed my name, so i guess that's one more experience you're going through that is different (pregnancy being the first one).

Can your guys make Baby Mogul a room? As for iBaby being ahead of schedule, doesn' that mean you have a new due date?
I put on my wool coat today and it didn't button up! So I am growing big too!
Yeah for our babies!! Baby M says hi!

How wonderful! I can hardly believe all the work you've been doing recently -- school stuff, apartment renovations...craziness! You're my hero. :)
When you said "midwife," does that mean you're having the baby at home? Or is that just what you call the person who you have baby-checkups with, but you have the baby in a hospital?

Wow - you have been busy! Welcome back. BTW - babies have a strange tendancy to come when they want to - for instance, Sierra came at 36 weeks - healthy as anything, although she was small (5lbs even) she was strong - didn't even have to go to special care nursery and came home 36 hours later!
