23 weeks - baby belly gets bigger ;)

Image
Hey hey, Well, here i am... baby belly is growing, baby is healthy and kicking... and i feel really good :) Upcoming week will go to doctor visit again and see again how much the baby has grown ;) Who is my website member then he/she can see also in my pictures gallery more pictures from this pics series and also how my baby looks and waves :) The weekend was great. Today i spend time at home, cleaned and did all kind of work in house but yesterday i had lovely evening with my great American friend Maxine and her friends. It was actually Flemish dinner, meaning all evening we spoke and practiced our dutch/vlaams language. Most of the participants were originally from abroad who now live here and learning this language :) .. we had really lots of nationalities and for a while the noise in the Maxine's flat sounded like we were in some night bar. I met so nice and interesting people and got great new friends :) Lovely, thank you Maxine. Thanks for inviting and thanks for such an effo...

Last weekends activites :)

Image
Hey hey... Just thought to write few lines and put up some pictures :) Found some cute pictures from last weekend. As the weather was wonderful then we went to walk to the park in Antwerpen.... we have gone there more then once before but as the park is kinda spreaded then to that part we went first time and i was surprised that it was like a zoo ;) lol And here are two more nice pictures.. one is at Guy's sisters place, yeah..... acturally i dont know how to play piano but for the pic it doesnt look bad LOL ...and the last one is taken in Holland at Delta Works . I visited the place in 1999 when i was studying in Holland for 3 month.. so it brought some nice memories ;) LOL Now its also almost weekend and what will happen this weekend .. dont know yet.. should do some shopping though ;) lol xx and enjoy also your the weekend, Gerbel :)

First Baby kicks ;)

Image
Hey hey, The Baby is 20 weeks and 5 days old today :) and i feel continually good. The weight is quite normal, is nicely stable but its already 69kg ;) lol The baby is about 26cm (10.5 inches) in length and weight should be about 300grams (10.5 ounces). Seams like a small babytoy ;) lol Last few days, before falling in sleep, i have felt some kicks in my belly, at least it seemed so, but last night and this morning i was sure that it is a baby ;) .. wow.. what a nice feeling :)) These kicks though were very small and weak ones. Seamed like the baby is turning a somersault (kukerpallitama - in estonian) . It was fun! :)) On Monday will have a doctor visit again, so after that can say more how the baby is ;) till then enjoy little pic from this morning ;) .. bit naughty one but hopefully you like it LOL... ;P Kisses, Gerbel :)

Terug naar school ;)

Image
Hey hey, Yeah, back to school ( terug naar school - in dutch ). Today i had my first dutch lesson with the new class, new teacher and classmates from various countries :) .. Let me confess that few days ago i didnt look so much forward to it but after today's lesson i think i really will enjoy it :) Other then school... I keep going to gym and working out. I take a bit easy with the training though due to my pregnancy, i get to gym up to 3 times per week and then try to walk a lot. Im not so strict with my diet either, sometimes allow pancakes or pizza what are presently my favorite cheat meals. Its strange how pregnancy has changed my appetite.. some changes of course are not so good for my sport as i dont enjoy or dont like to eat eggs and chicken and nuts. So, instead of morning eggs i eat now dark bread with cheese, which is not so bad but .... you know what i mean ;) Good is, of course, that i dont long for ice cream and chocolate and other sweeties or candies... and i prefer ...

Trip to Luxembourg

Image
Hey hey.. I dont have lots of pictures of the last weekend trip but it was real nature trip. We went to Luxembourg to spend nice spa and nature weekend what we got from Guy's uncle for our wedding. :) Yes, only now we used the bongo card :) LOL On the way we saw Frahan, the smallest village in the Belgium (see picture on side) and then visited Bouillon area which is lots of nature.. :) .. very lovable place for nature lovers :) By the way, i have driven through Luxembourg before but i never went really downtown and wow.. its very sweet little city with lots of old buildings and yeah.. what i tell.. you have to see it with your own eyes, its really lovely city. The trip was great but the weather wasnt in our side this time. It was raining most of the time and therefore we didnt walked around so much as we had planned ;) oh well.. it was nice anyhow :) lol Here is one more pic of other little city, Clervaux, where we stayed :) and enjoyed the SPA as it was raining all day ;) lol Best...

Skating in Holland

Image
Dear all, The weekend was great, got to do some inline skating, who has member access, there are few pictures and also video clip :)) .. it was a great small cardio :) On weekends Guy loves to go to surfing and as im not so good at it then i prefer skating instead :)) LOL Otherwise life is nice as always, the weather is not so hot here as in Estonia but the sun is shining and its warm enough to walk outside in short sleeves. I keep training, only wish i could go by bike to gym (by bike its 30 min to Bill's gym) and to have extra cardio but its not possible, always get headache in the evening when i have gone to gym by bike. So i keep using tram for that. Oh well, the overall strength training is good anyhow :) The weeks are passing so quick lately and September month isnt far and the dutch language school also... but as time is passing, then the October month is really near by, i already booked tickets to Estonia. :) Just for your information, that i will be in Estonia from 11 till...
