It's a girl

Since two weeks we now know that it will be a little girl. So, now we can start buying things because we know the color we have to buy ;-)
Also since 3 or 4 weeks I can also feel her moving in Marlenes stomach. It's really amazing!
Marlene still doesn't have any real "problems" being pregnant. Except that she's getting out of breath more easily. But that's ok. She's just doing things a little bit more slowly and I have to wait for her getting the stairs up and down in the house. Ah, there's one other thing - which is totally normal for pregnant women - but outsiders really have to get used to it (including me): She's forgetting things so quickly. Sometimes she doesn't even remember what she wanted to do 10 seconds ago. So, if you know other pregnant women: Be a little bit considerately and don't let them do important tasks as they might forget about them if they are not as organized as Marlene is (at least in business).
Last weekend we decided to already set up the commode that will become the baby dressing table and it was a good idea not to wait until after christmas. The few things I couldn't lift by myself where already pretty heavy for Marlene as well. So, just in time I'd like to say.
Next weekend we will spend in Amsterdam. I'm already excited!
