Emma goes to Monaco!

Today, Thomas took me and Emma to Monaco to see the Monte Carlo Masters Tennis Tournament. It was a beautiful day and we saw some of the best players in the world.

Tomorrow, I am off to the clinic to have my first relaxation course in their pool. Life is rough on maternity leave!

Time to Relax!

Tuesday was the final ultrasound which still showed a healthy baby girl. Emma is approximately 1.9 kilos and 40 cm long. The doctor estimated a final term weight of around 3.5 Kilos! I guess I now know where the 8 kilos I gained so far have been going!
Although everything is going well, the doctor requested I stop working due to the Braxton Hicks contractions I've had for about a week. So, I am officially on maternity leave! I am hoping to do more than laying on my back as I've been doing the past couple days though!

You can see images from the ultrasound. I trust the doctors for this because I don't have a clue (except perhaps for the head) what they are of. We tried to get a good 3-D image, but Emma was covering her face with her hand the whole time. I guess she is camera shy!

In case you were wondering, Thomas hasn't gained any weight out of sympathy for me; but I managed to give him his first gray hairs! Perhaps I will zoom in next week so you can see :-)

Starting the countdown!

Well, next week will mark 7 months; I can't believe how fast time goes by. I have put on a couple extra kilos in the last weeks (7 in total now) and boy does it show! I can finally fit into my maternity clothes now!

Thomas and I went to Italy this weekend to check out the shops and enjoy some homemade pasta. He celebrated his 32nd birthday last week as well!

Next week is the third ultrasound; we can't wait to see Emma again!! I will probably stop working at the end of next week and I'll have more time to prepare for June.

As well, if anyone has any ideas for a nice middle name, let us know!
