iBoy or iGirl?

Tomorrow is our big ultrasound! I'm so excited about seeing our little one again. We hopefully will see a healthy baby.

We’ll also find out if iBaby is a boy or a girl. That is, if the little one is not ashamed to show its private parts in front of a complete stranger.

We’re keeping it a secret until he or she comes to this world, but I’m curious:

What do you think:

Boy or girl?

We got a little dancer!

For about two weeks now, I’ve been noticing little,.. ehm, bubbles in my tummy. In Dutch I call them “ploepjes”, which I have absolute no translation for. It doesn’t mean anything.

The first time I felt “the bubbles” was 2 weeks ago during the first episode of “Dancing with the stars,” or at least the Dutch version of that show. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was our little iBaby or the pizza I ate. But the next morning I had my hand on my belly I felt the “bubble” on the outside too.

Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure pizza does not kick softly in my tummy.

For a week I didn’t feel dinner or baby kicking me. But Saturday again during Dancing with the stars: bubbles! And the next morning Mr. Sweety felt it too when he put his hand on my belly.

Feeling iBaby move makes me happy & smile. And when Mr. Sweety feels it too, my heart just fills up with joy. Dance baby!

Yes

To my Mr. Sweety,

It’s funny how I’m writing you this letter while we’re in the same room. You have no idea what I’m writing. I made myself comfortable on the couch and you are cleaning. You let this pregnant girl rest her feet while you make sure our house is tidy & clean.

I realize that posting this letter will reveal our little secret to the internet people. Although most of our ‘real life’ friends and family already share in our happiness for quit some time now. I liked having our little secret. But now it’s time to share with everyone.

You see, I never kept it a secret to anyone that I love you. The baby I’m carrying is prove of that love. But it’s more. You’re my true love.

The line “If you weren’t real I would make you up.” (from the song - Honey and the Moon by Joseph Arthur) says exactly how I feel. Because that’s what I would do. I would make you up if you weren’t here. If our relationship didn’t exist. If we had never met. I would fantasize of you. And dream of you as my true love. You’re that one guy I would compare every single man I met with.

But you are real. We are real. And every since we are together you have proven you are my true love. We are the perfect couple. That sometimes scares me, because than I fear it might end. But most of the time, it makes me smile and realize what a lucky girl I am. And why I had to say yes when you asked me to marry you.

Before the readers of my blog start gagging, I want you to know. I can’t wait until we say I do, this October 10th. Because I do, love you.

Your fiancée
