New surprises when you least expect them...

Not all surprises in life are good ones, but this one turned out to be.

My wife Anja celebrated a post 35 birthday in January. Since then she has been on a diet, eating less but not losing any weight. Combined with a few other regularities, something did not seem to be working right. Being a registered nurse, you also don't go running to the doctor with every little problem, since most small problems correct themselves. By March when there was still not improvement, we (the girls and I) finally convinced her she needed to go to the doctor for a check-up. With Easter coming so early, and the Easter holidays here (almost 3 weeks off from school), she decided to make an appointment once school started again.

The little surprise can be seen in the following picture:

We are expecting a little girl sometime around the end of September or beginning of October (depending on which doctor you ask).

Anja is now relieved and has stopped with the diet. We are all excited about the new addition to our family.

Both Anja and the baby are doing well, so everything is on course for a normal pregnancy.

We'll keep things up-to-date here for all our family and friends.
