Time seems to go uberfast now and I’m at the point now where I am starting to get anxious about everything being ready for the baby. We have not bought many things yet because we have not moved yet and it makes me nervous. When I see something in sale that I really like I do buy it though, like the playpen blanket that I saw last week. The colors fit amazingly with the colors for the room we have in mind so I bought it, together with an adorable little outfit for our little girl.

I am not really feeling great, though it has ups and downs now, I am back to throwing up sometimes. Also the stomach acid burn is back and on top of that my back starts to hurt a lot and my tummy feels really tight. I feel my baby moving a whole lot and especially the times I am going to rest/sleep, she seems to be having a ball in there…. sighs, our little party girl… thats gonna be something.

Talking about my tummy, I finally have some pictures I took that I will show you guys. I have taken pictures two times now but havent uploaded them yet because there was no comparison.  The first set of pictures is from when I was 17 weeks pregnant, and the second set is from this week, 22 weeks pregnant.

17 Weeks Pregnant

22 Weeks Pregnant

As you can see I grew a lot in those weeks, I will likely grow a lot more still but since I am a small person I doubt I will get a huge tummy. We will see… Take care all! I will post again soon with more news.

Past half time!! XD well that is.. if my pregnancy is gonna last 40 weeks. However i do think its gonne be born earlier then that though, but we will see..

I feel good aside of the pain in my back and hips when we going somewhere that requiers a little walking i feel really good. No more throing up and my appetite is comming back too. Still cant eat and smell everything but yeah what a difference from the first 4 months… im gai ning weight back al be it a bit slow…  I am gaining..  and the less i gain, the less i have to loose afterwards. with my first pregnancy i total gained 7 kilos (14 pounds) on top of my normal weight and 7 days after i was right back on my normal weight. I was 55 kilos (110 pounds) before this pregnancy and I lost about 4  so i still have some catchign up to do XD.

At the ultrasound last thursday everything was fine, great actualy, the baby is perfectly healthy and growing just fine as normal. No problems could be found and the baby was very active during the ultrasound and even kicked the lady who was holding the ultrasound thingy on my belly hahaha.

So do we finally know wheter its gonna be a boy or a girl? yes we do know finally although it was a bit of trouble some to check that, eventualy the baby cooperated and we found out that we are gonna have a daughter!! 🙂 weeeee Im really happy the baby is healthy in the first place of course, but secondly I was kinda hoping it was gonna be a babygirl so yeah I’m happy with that news too.. Well if it had been a boy i wouldnt have been less happy though XD just i think its more fun to shop for a girl and ofcourse since I allready have a daughter and have a lot of her clothes still from when she was a baby, I do have a bunch of clothes allready :).  My daughter that I allready have was born august 5  and I am now due juli 20.  Since she was pretty small i’m thinking that the seasons for the clothes are perfect too in this case. Would be quite different if  one would be born in june and the other in december right 🙂 Anyhow, we can hardly wait till our little princess is born!  Her name we like to keep privat and announce once she is born.

So stay tuned I keep you all posted!

the “news widget” or also called “shout box” that i had on the site is currently not working, theres a problem with the database that we will be looking into. Untill then the shoutbox has been removed from the site. Our Apologies for that. It also may be the reason why a reply that you placed on this day on one of my posts, is not showing up.

Wow almost at half time! I feel a LOT better last 2 weeks, i only occasionally grab for the bucket. And i finally could enjoy KFC again! I am regaining weight again, got 2 kilos back Am at 53 kilos now. The baby is really active n kicking a lot a couple times a day.

I am trying to learn a spanish lullaby for the baby but thats  gonna take me some more practise.  I will post the lyrics here soon and maybe a sound file too… this comming thursday I will have another ultrasound and I likely will post again then.

Ok gonna keep this post short because I am tired. Night Night!

Every year theres a huge event in the Rai eventcentre in amsterdam. Its called the huishoudbeurs or in short HHB. in english translated that would be The householdevent.

The HHB is a huge event indoors in the rai event centre in Amsterdam and is being organised once a year every year. At rhis event many organisations presebt there products there and often newly to be launched or recently launched products. What type of products to be expected there. well aside of all the new food products and kitchen machines etc there will be ofcourse the plenty cleaning products, family trips plastic foodstore containers for the kitchen, like tupperware but also the well known companies like coca cola are presented there and even some car factories like Kia i saw this year.  So basicly everything there is stuff that the the general housewife is/will be interested in to hear about, try it out and buy  them with extremely good offers. A bag full of products for only 5 euros, including the big shopper bag usualy is often even below half the price u pay in the store normally.

Since the beginning of my pregnancy I have been in bed basically and really lookin foreward to this event I decided to buy two sets of tickets. Because its a huge event and im not in best shape i thought that was the best thing to do to be able to enjoy it.  The event lasts from 13 till 21 february and from the 17th till the 21 another extra few halls of the rai centre will be added wirg another event that can be visited on the same ticket..  the ninemonthevent. As you may  have guessed already thats all about pregnancies and babies! And ofcourse I want to see that too :). So after going thru a large part of the event with my parents, husband and daughter for one whole day on friday, we are going back again on sunday to see the rest of it and mainly the baby event :). I have made a few pictures of some things that made me go aaah and i will upload them some time later to this article.

Afcourse we came home friday being all sore and tired n packed up with loads of bags with goodies, all be it free or not and ofcourse we didnt skipped a chance on all the free snacks and drinks either.. so we where pretty satisfied but tired.

Today my legs rly hurt from the walking so I took it easy.. Hopefully I will be rdy for tomorows event day 🙂

For those who want to read more about it, heres the official site of the HHB.
