The first week of 2008

Well, it's been a very quiet week. No traveling for me, travel-addict pure sang, and i see Sandra's eyes mist over everytime she sees a map... But she's now very very pregnant and even though she wants to do a lot, it just isn't possible anymore. Which she finds annoying sometimes... I think she just wants to much but what do i know about pregnancy. Luckily everything is alright again. Sandra was send to the gynaecologist for a check-up by the mid-wife. Logical since they don't really have any history of her here. Her blood pressure was a bit high but according to here she always has that when she sees a blood pressure-meter. Anyways, a scan was made too but the gyn. wanted to have the blood presure mesured again. So she had another appointment with the gyn. Then it turned out that dear baby had changed position. Head down, which is alright but unfortunately feet down too... So, Sandra was warned not to go anywhere far and if something would happen to lie down immediately and call an ambulance. Bummer, she thought. Me too since i still had some plans to go and explore some more of Brielle. Ok, a mid wife appointment was 2 days later and another 2 days after that a new scan to see if the baby had changed again. And luckily the position was ok this time. Pfieuw.... Sandra's blood pressure rose instantly when she thought of a possible caesarian. With so many meetings she felt she almost needed to buy a diary just to keep track of her medical appointments... She claims that she's been to more of those since she's been back in the Netherlands then in all the time before.

We did have some distraction. Ewold and Karin came on saturday and took us out for lunch. Really nice. And Katinka made the long long journey on sunday by public transport to come and see us. And to deliver some really yummy home-made appel sauce. I had to battle with Sandra for that one. She liked the appel sauce as much as i did.
