Update

This past weekend Steve, I and Kees all got very sick with what we think was the 72 hour flu. It was the first time that Kees has ever had to throw-up so he kept saying, "I not like food coming out my mouth." Poor little guy. I kept drinking lots of water and fluids but decided to make a doctor appointment today to make sure that everything was okay with the baby after being so sick. The appointment went well and because I was able to keep fluids down it will be okay. I was able to get a ultrasound today at the appointment. This time baby was really active and the doctor even had a hard time finding him/her a few times. The heart rate was strong too. At one point the little arms and hands were waving around and the doctor told Kees the baby was waving at him. He got a big smile! She called the baby a "funny baby" because he/she was kicking off of one side and hitting the other side then doing it again. It was wonderful to see the baby moving all about and even waving to its big brother! 

Ultrasound!

 Today was the first time seeing our baby! Kees was very interested in what was going on with my tummy. Baby #2 was sleeping so the midwife was trying to get the baby to move for us. This was a big difference from Kees which at his first ultrasound would not stop moving. I like to think baby #2 is going to be mellow. The baby had a strong heart beat. We were even able to hear the heart! I'm now at 10 weeks and 4 days. The due date is what we thought at September 28th. The midwife was nervous about me wanting to have the baby in the hospital after she heard about Kees' birth. I think she is worried if she will make it on time. She is a really great midwife and I thought the clinic was also nice. It is much like the clinic I went to with Kees. My next appointment is on April 2nd.

 There is our little one! So exciting and emotional to see my baby for the first time. I wasn't planning on getting to hear the heart this time so that was special to get to hear the heart.

Kees was enjoying the clinic as well. He did great today. I showed him pictures of ultrasounds in my book and what he may see today so that helped him know what was happening. He will touch my tummy and say,"Baby in mommy tummy!" Today was one of those days when it hits you just how blessed you are. So blessed to be a mommy of 2! 

Birthday!

Sorry for the lack of posts...I have been having a rough time with morning sickness (which should be called 'all day sickness) anyway it has sent me to bed early.  Here are some pictures of Junior's birthday party. Junior is Kees' friend from church. He was turning 4.

This is Junior's mom Ursula. She lived in New York for 21 years so she is a good friend to talk to who understands living in another country.

The super hero cake made by the local baker. Below is a little boy trying out the birthday boy's toys :)

Happy Birthday Dad!

Snow!

Here is a clip of the snow. It has been freezing here! Kees is in his pajamas in this clip and came back soon after this clip! The snow is beautiful but not so nice to get around in. I'm ready for Spring!!

Baby!

We are happy to announce that we are pregnant with baby #2! We are so excited for a new little one to join our family. Kees is not sure what to think of the news but he did say he wants the baby to sleep in his room and   that he wanted to share his doggy with the baby. These are exciting times at the Kramer house!
