Arriving Home


After a couple of days in the hospital it was time to go home. Both Mikaela and Nora have done absolutely great. Nora is feeding well, and we are slowly getting used to eachother. The care in the Woman's and Childrens hospital has been fantastic. But now we're on our own. Let's see how we will do as new parents ;-)

We collected some photo's of Nora's birth and arrival home in this slide show. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do...

The pictures are great! She sure is a beauty. And you both look like you have done this before, haha. And so great that you could walk home (I know it's not that far, but still). Enjoy these special first days at home!

big hug,

Denyse

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfull
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love


I think this must be your song from now on..

Lot of love and luck Nora with your new parents;-)

Congratulations Mom and Dad!

That is truly a beautiful baby girl! It does ache a bit in my heart that I can´t meet her in real life (yet). You look really comfortable with her and I am certain you will be excellent parents!

Give Nora a hug and lots of kisses from me and once again congratulations! You make a gorgeous family!

Love,

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 jus...

Look who is there?!?

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?!?

Say hello to our latest addition of the family. Yes, we are expecting again! Twelve weeks into it, and the little one is already waving at us through the ultrasound. Very comfy it was moving around, clearly enjoying to be watched. The news may come hardly as a surprise, since we’ve always wanted a second one. But its gonna be a big change. In particular for Nora, who will soon be a big sister. A role that will fit her just fine, as she loves to boss around others. Our little bubs will need to have some balls to stand up to her. But for now the little peach is still calm and peacefully enjoying mummy’s womb. Which it will keep doing until early October, if all goes to plan. Meanwhile mummy has been enjoying morning sickness, food intolerance, nausea and all other typical symptoms of what is supposed to be the best period of her life. Aren’t you jealous? PS. Bets are on. What do you think: boy or girl?
