yesterday was one of those great days when after the postmans visit there is no fear of having nothing to do for the rest of the day. we received two parcels, a huge one from anke and another one from an anonymous sender (we think we know who its from, just not sure yet), both packages filled with nice presents and things that made me feel very ( Read more... )

weeks keep running, baby is growing fine and im feeling almost better than ever before during this pregnancy. swimming twice a week does help really, just perfect! the belly isnt feeling heavy at all right now and when im not looking down or enjoying the wild child kicking in there, i dont necessarily feel that pregnant at all. that is really nice ( Read more... )
