Happy New Year!!!

2009 has come and I am one day from my due date - no news yet though....

I went on maternity leave in early December which meant that I had lots of time to do the Christmas shopping and bake Christmas cookies - nice! We were at Jesper's parents for Christmas and then back to Copenhagen again on the 26th.

New Years Eve was very calm on our part - we did get to see some nice fireworks though at midnight.

Now the waiting time has kicked in... it is difficult to make plans but at the same time it makes no sense to just sit and wait. Everything is ready to for the little guy, even the hospital bag has been packed. To top everything off, Liz sent the cutest Indiana stuff - something that was totally missing. This soft teady bear has a central place in our apartment and I am sure that the little guy will like it as much as I do.



Hopefully I'll be able to post some news pics soon of the baby - all depends on how long we have to wait:-)

Finally a new post..

Yes, it's been a while since my last post - but here it is!!
Just got this picture taken yesterday - I am in my 33rd week and still doing fine.





I am starting to get really curious about this little guy's entrance into the world. This week we bought a "barnevogn" which is sort of a carrier (see picture) that every mom has in Denmark. We also got a lot of all the other "need to have" things. Still have a little bit of shopping left but we have most by now.

In less than four weeks I am going on maternity leave. Looking forward to having all of december to shop christmas gifts and do a lot of baking:-)

A fantastic US visit

My trip to the States was amazing - it was so good to be back!

We all had a great time at Kristy and Matt's wedding and it was very nice to spend some time with everyone.



At the end of the trip we went to do a little sightseeing (and a lot of walking) in Boston. We saw the US Constitution and afterwards Pat and Meg drove me to the airport - thanks for taking me (and finding the way) to Boston airport:-) I guess the sightseeing part wore me out a little as I found myself waking up in the airport just before my flight left.

It's a boy

On Wednesday this week Jesper and I went to the second scanning. The little one seems to be fine which is very nice to know. At first, they would not tell us whether it is a boy or girl, but at the end the nurse was certain of what she saw and said that it was a little boy:-)

Knowing this, I am able to go to Kristy's wedding in Boston and do some baby clothes shopping as well.
Can't wait to see many of you - its been way too long - hopefully you'll still be able to understand me even though my English is a little rusty. I have tried to prepare and refresh my English watching a lot of American movies, recently one with Arnold Schwarzenegger, so hopefully I am ready by now...:-)

Summer update 2

Yesterday we went to a place called Bakken to eat dinner and see an annual show "Cirkusrevy" with my parents.

On the picture you can see that I am definitely gaining weight now. I am in my 17th week....

Summer update from Copenhagen

So my short vacation is over and although we did not do a whole lot it was nice to be off work for a while. We went to visit Jesper's parents in Jylland for a little week and then we just stayed at home for the last week.

We have been sailing when the wind allowed it - our boat does not like windy weather at all which can be a challenge, since it is usually kind of windy at sea:-)

This weekend I layed out with Mette and we captured the moment with a picture.

Having a baby...

So I am pregnant - just entered my second trimester as I am 14 weeks along today. I am feeling great, no nausea or anything, but of course a little tiredness in the first weeks.

The little one is due first thing in the new year, more specifically on January 3rd 2009. We don't know whether it will be a boy or girl yet, hopefully we'll find out in a months time or so. A couple of weeks ago we went to the first scanning and saw him/her and heard the heart beat - it was fantastic!

And then a "Smitty": Yes it was planned and yes, Jesper is the farther:-)
