Ella six months


Can you believe it? Today its six months ago that Ella was born, but it feels like it was only yesterday. Time has been flying. And Ella has been flying too. From the word go she has been growing and developing like no other. With a very respectable 51cm and 4.5kg at birth, she extended her lead to currently 70cm and 8.5kg! And not just that: she picks up everything so fast. We feel like she could start crawling any day now. Yes, our little girl is well and truly ahead of herself. Good on ya girl!

See our picture slide show of Ella’s first six months.

Don’t you agree she is just one gorgeous and cheerful baby?!? Happy half-birthday Ella!

Lieve help! Let ik even niet op, is er 'zomaar' een tweede dochter! En ze is zelfs al een hele grote meid van 8 maanden!
Toch nog van harte gefeliciteerd met jullie tweede dochter Jan en Mikaela!

En wat een schatje is het zo op die foto's! Is ze in het echt net zo schattig? :-)
Leuk om jullie en je beide grote meisjes zo even te kunnen zien.
Liefs,

Alexandra

Finally, after such a long wait, there she is: another little girl. And what a surprise she has for us: dark hair and dark eyes! The longer we look at her, the less sure we are of the exact colour of her eyes. Is it brown, dark blue or even dark green? Her birth was in many ways similar to Nora’s one. This time it took 12 hours (who says the second one is easier?!?) The baby was almost two weeks late and had to be induced.  We did so early in the morning in the small countryside hospital of Mt Barker.  After a couple of hours the contractions really took off, and Mikaela got her epidural. Then things slowed down again, and it was not until nightfall when showtime started. A couple of tough and stressful hours followed of hard labour and a stubborn baby that just would not come down.  Assisted by some of the best midwifes in the business, Mikaela pushed herself beyond all limits. She was the hero of the day. She finished it almost completely on her own, but just needed some

Yep, it’s for real. We are officially expecting! An Aussie-Swedish-Dutch-Frisian baby is in the making. In week sixteen now and it’s all looking very good. Due date is somewhere half March, at the end of the summer. For us it is of course the greatest news ever. Mikaela has followed a typical textbook pregnancy so far: some nausea, tiredness, mood swings and a totally messed up taste for food and snacks! She even dislikes chocolate now!!! How crazy can it get?!? But it’s all looking good. We already had an early ultrasound and we saw the little one actively twisting, turning and even waving at us. It was even making loops! Clearly it is having a good time in mummy’s womb. So once again we are ‘on the move’: another big and exciting change ahead of us. We can still hardly believe it ourselves. It’s such a new world to us that we often feel a bit lost. How do start a journey like this?!?
