Fat Lady Update

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

With our little Marcus running around, I haven’t had much time to give updates about my experience as a happy pregnant lady.
Currently, I’m 30 weeks along. Slowly we are preparing Marcus for the arrival of his little sister. We predict that Marcus will have a hard time to share his mom, dad and toys.
Besides a [...]

Marcus’ arrival at the hospital

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

The fat lady is thin(ner) again. Marcus’ arrival was the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. Also his dad was completely blown away with the emotions that you experience when you look at your son for the first (and also for the 50th ) time..
Many people would have been jealous – my pregnancy went [...]

Our first addition to the family is here. Marcus arrived on January 24th at 9:45 pm. Everything was uneventful.
Christine started having labor pains around 5 am but she didn’t wake me up until 6. She said the contractions weren’t very strong, but they were coming about every 10 minutes. I grabbed a quick shower, packed [...]

We are back…
First of all, we’d like to wish all of you the best for 2007!
14 days ago we packed up all our stuff in Lier and moved to our new house in Schiplaken (Brussels). It still feels that it’s only a few days ago. We have been busy putting our furniture back together, taking [...]

Tonight I arrived home around 8:30pm from work and had to choose between packing another 5 boxes or finally write a fat lady update. Guess what I decided to do…

Hi, I’m back!
The last two weeks have been crazy.
I realized that there are ONLY 8 weeks left till December 15th. On this day, I stop working for the year and our house must practically be ready to move in. Once you look at the attached pictures, you can imagine why I didn’t sleep so well.
Each [...]

I hope everybody is doing well. Last week I skipped my update because I just ran out of time.
Junior lump has learned how to make my belly shake. I finally feel more than just some air bubbles

On Friday I went to a [...]

Fat Lady Update 5

Monday, September 18th, 2006

It’s already the 5th update of the fat lady. The titles of my updates are becoming more and more appropriate. I’m 22 weeks now and just came back from the gynecologist for a check-up. Junior lump is doing very well.
Last week, I worked a few days from home – because I was fighting a cold. [...]

Fat Lady Update 4

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

This week we treat you with a picture of the three of us…Jon, junior lump and myself. As you can see, Jon’s stomach is still a little bigger If junior lump keeps growing as quick as (s)he is so far, I will be dominating the stomach contest by next week.
The renovations of the [...]

Here we’re again, Junior lump and I and daddy are doing well. Only daddy kind of freaked when he really noticed how big junior lump is getting this week.
We just made a picture of my stomach – My waist is about the same size as that of Jon’s. =)
From now on, most people notice that [...]
