Bun check

Well, the weather here has finally turned to winter- after weeks of cold and rainy, it has been cold and clear for two days. James is mostly over his ear infection but is still quite congested; we are all feeling a bit housebound as this recent bout caused us to miss 2 days of daycare (i.e. time for Mike to work at home). I am just glad that I have some jobs now as the last 6 months have been pretty sparse.
We went to our first visit to the verloskundige (midwife) today. At only eight weeks there were just a few forms to fill in and a blood pressure check. At 12 we will have the first of two sonograms and the next appointment with the midwife two weeks after that. Last time was such a different experience- everything starkly new and exciting and terribly unknown in so many ways. It makes a difference when you have to make sure your toddler isn't doing any lasting damage to the office while you are talking. Katharine is still not 100%; mainly getting tired of being tired and nauseous. We both have alot of things on our plate at the moment but are trying to keep focused on enjoying this new year of changes. James helps when he can- especially when he wears his freshest hat-
