A baby on the way!

Posted by Rune Stavdal

We're expecting! Yep, we're getting ready for our baby, our fourth. Isn't that just increadible! And being in week 16 of the pregnancy, it's now showing. Anu has had awful nausea the first 14 weeks, but fortunately that seems to gradually decrease. When breaking the news to friends and family, nearly everyone gave the same immediate response: "So, you're hopeing for a girl this time?"

At hearing the big news, Andreas humourously remarked: "That's great, cause I'll be moving out of the nest soon." But mom and dad know he'll be staying in the nest for some years still. We're sure he'll be a helping hand as the big bro.
Being a middle child isn't always easy, and in addition to the fact that Thomas (10 yrs) is very caring for small kids, he'll enjoy moving one step up so as to avoid the feeling of being sandwitched in the middle.
Mathias, our little bitty boy, woops, next autumn he'll go to school, obviously looks forward to eventually becoming a big brother, and it's a nice thing that he's old enough to enjoy it too.

We were happy that the u/s last week showed that the baby is doing just fine!
Boy or girl, girl or boy...I don't want to know until due date

    Boy or girl... mere guesswork...
    Old saying: `the boys will bring the girls` - sooner or later. Or what Andreas, Thomas and Mathias - one soon or four later.
    Relax Anu, listen your kind of music, speak softly to the newcomer. Strength to you Anu.

    V. Cool! The world need more Stavdals. :-) Good luck with everything, moving and raising your 4th child. Sounds stressing, but also incredible giving. I'm impressed.
