Sleepover

Tessa came to stay with us for the weekend so her mom and dad could have some time for themselves. We loved it and so did Tessa. Guillaume is teaching her the word 'vriendjes' (friends) and hoping that'll be the first word she says in stead of the usual mama or papa. Well, he did start early with teaching it, so who knows... :)
Tessa does seem to enjoy the 'conversations' with Guillaume and will give him big smiles or 'talk' back.

Cuddle time with aunt Chenée.

36 weeks and counting...

Today we had another checkup. Our little girl is now 3 kg and is growing so good! Everything looked really good.
As for my pelvic pains... they're getting worse and there's nothing they can do about it. So I spend most of my time in bed. The doctor gave me sleeping pills for the night and told me to hang on 3 more weeks. After that they might have a chance on inducing labor if necessary. But since the baby is growing so well there's always a chance that she might decide to come early all by herself. I'm really hoping for the latter :)

I wish I could play like that :)

Grandma's birthday part 2 - High Tea

This weekend we went to a traditional English High Tea in an old farm. It was a birthday gift to Guillaume's grandma and all of her brothers and sisters were invited too.
I had never been to such an event and I can recommend it to everyone. It's a nice relaxing time. They serve different kinds of tea and there's all kinds of little snacks to go with it, including mini-sandwiches and scones with clotted cream... yummie!


Guillaume and Tessa are "vriendjes" (=best friends) already.

Grandma's 80th birthday

Guillaume's grandma had her 80th birthday on Saturday. To celebrate she took us all on a weekend trip to Giethoorn. It's a very little town and it's famous for its canals. In fact you can't even get to the center other than on foot or by boat. Each house is built on a separate little island and all the islands are connected by high narrow bridges. The bridges are built high so locals can still transport things to their houses by boat.

Tessa also came along. Needless to say she was the center of attention :)

After the boat tour we had fun playing games.
