Ultrasound

Here's the pictures of the ultrasound. The first one is her face, she's looking right at the camera! The second picture is also her face but from the side.

Check up

Last Friday I had another check up and an ultrasound (I'll post some pictures later).
Everything is fine. I got the shot for rhesus. The baby is growing really well. She's about 1500 grams now. She's a busy little thing, moving and kicking all day long.
I still have 10 weeks to go, which in my mind will take ages. I can't wait to finally have her here with us.

I finally finished the Winnie the Pooh mural in the nursery.

Tessa

Saturday Guillaume's sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! Her name is Tessa and she's sooooo cute! Mother and daughter are doing well and the father has his hands full with taking care of both of them :)

It was really nice to hold Tessa. Makes me even more impatient! I can hardly wait to have our own baby girl come into this world! Well, not that I'm looking forward to giving birth, but after that, when she's finally here...
And another cool thing is that Guillaume's sister and I are best friends and hang out a lot. So our daughters, who will be 3 months apart, will also grow up with each other.

It's a girl!!!

Last Friday we had another ultrasound. And we found out we're having a little girl!!!
Everything is going really well. She's growing and developing just as she's supposed to. She's right on the 'normal' statistics.
I feel her moving all day long. And the lady that did the ultrasound even had trouble getting clear pictures because she moves around so much! I'm getting a feeling she's going to be a handful :)

Here's her face.
And a leg.

Aviodrome

Last weekend we went to an aviation display with my grandparents. It was really nice to see all the old aircraft and aviation history. Especially because my grandpa could tell us so much extra from his own experience.

War of the Worlds 30th Anniversary

Guillaume's never been into concerts. But there's one composer he absolutely loves: Jeff Wayne and his Musical Version of War of the Worlds. Guillaume even performed one of the songs at a high school recital. This year it's the 30th anniversary of the piece and Jeff Wayne is touring all over Europe. He also came to Amsterdam. So as an early birthday surprise I took Guillaume to see this Musical Version of War of the Worlds. He loved it!
It was a combination of a normal rock band and a orchestra with cello's and violins etcetera. All directed by Jeff Wayne. And on a large screen in the back there were short pieces of film to support the narrator.

Since not many people know what War of the Worlds is, here's some background info. War of the Worlds is a science fiction story written bij H.G. Wells in 1898. It's about Marsians invading earth and just as they seem to be winning the die from some kind of virus and mankind is saved (bear in mind that it's science fiction from the 19th century).
Two movies have been made of this story. The last one a couple of years ago, starring Tom Cruise.
In 1979 Jeff Wayne decided to compose a Musical Version of the story.

Here's some footage. Please excuse the quality, I shot it with my phone.
