It's a nephew!
My first, too. I've just spoken on the phone with my brother - and it's a nephew! He was born yesterday evening after a long labour (poor sis-in-law!) They don't know what to call him yet :D Typical of them, they take their time with the important things.

Whew!
I think the worst is over now. I've put up the bookcase and unpacked almost all the books, unpacked almost all the kitchen things (but still "look forward" to find the space for them in the kitchen), and the bathroom is mostly done, too. I am trying to do a bit every day, but also feel I can relax some, now. A change from the last weeks ( Read more... ) -
