Patience

Posted on by

If you get up early on saturday morning and your wife asks you -still
asleep- to go and do the shopping in the morning to avoid queues, better
do it.

In my desire to have a peaceful saturday morning I stayed and had coffee
and slowly got up I am now standing (and blogging) in a queue in the
supermarket together with 1001 other people that probably thought just
like me :-)

patience is the key if you are too lazy to move your fat ass out of the
house.

we will go to some museum later with jesse, let’s see how much fun it is
to take him out in his baby-trike.

baby-sitting Jesse (and driving Siepke nuts)

Posted on by

Jesse is the baby of Alex and Patricia, friends of Anna (well, of ours, it seems)
He is 7 months now and has a smile that is more than contageous.. he makes the coldest iceberg smile when he does. I so much hope our son is going to have a smile like that.
We are taking care of him today – it makes me realize how it’s going to be when we have our son around. He demands lots of attention – to Siepke’s disgust who has a new enemy now. :)
Using the laptop instead of paying attention to him is punishable already.. but caring for another living being in the house gets him really jealous. He is all around and tries to get himself in the center of attention.
I pity him for once we get our son here he will be permanently Number 2 in the house. (just like me) :P

pregnancy dementia?

Posted on by

Yesterday I took another day off to go with Anna to her scheduled pregnancy examination. It’s really nice to hear its heart (correction: HIS heart.. we have evidence) beating and see him move around. As the doctor says all is good.
Anna is feeling well, too, apart from some deficiencies in short-term-memory ;) She has begun writing post-it notes to herself, just like in “Memento“. :D
We have dubbed this symptom “pregnancy dementia” with a wink but the doctor confirmed this and also scared Anna by telling her that many women report that they never got as “sharp” again in their jobs after the pregnancy… there goes my dream of Anna managing the family and me staying in the background.. ;)

UPDATE:
In American books they call this issue “the pregnant brain” ;)
