The Other Big News

Another thing that’s been occupying our thoughts of late is the fact that Sarah is pregnant again; thirteen weeks gone, to be precise.

To answer the question we get asked the most often: no, we don’t know what sex the baby is. It’s too early to tell and — as was the case with Eloïse, we don’t wish to find out before the birth.

Eloïse had the working title of Franbert, but this baby doesn’t have a code name at the moment. Maybe one will emerge later.

Eloïse is pretty excited at the prospect of being someone’s big sister. She regularly kisses Mama’s belly and talks about the baby.

Our two ultrasounds to date show the baby to be in good health, breakdancing in its amniotic fluid and with a nice heartbeat and all limbs growing as expected.

We haven’t been keeping this a secret. I think we made the first pregnancy known after just a few weeks. No, this time, we’ve just been so busy with preparing for the move, actually executing the move, getting stuff done in the new house and dealing with Eloïse, that there’s scarcely been a moment to blog about it and let the cat out of the bag.

We have a lovely midwife arranged to perform the birth at home and are looking forward to welcoming our next little hellraiser into the household. Eloïse just doesn’t keep us busy enough, so we needed to add another one to the mix. That’s a joke, if you were wondering.

As with Eloïse, discussions of suitable names began way before the pregnancy. It only takes nine months to fully bake a new human-being, but it takes considerably longer to name one.

    Congrats! Im sure you will have even more free time with this new one! 🙂

    Hopefully, the pregnancy process will at least be less crazy than the one here in the US.
