Hi to you all,

During Liesbeth's 30th birthday party we were able to succesfully take into one camera lens 4 tummies that will pop up this 2010!

1. Liesbeth is expected to give birth by end of May (soooooooon!!!) And we already know its gonna be a baby boy!

2. Astrid is expected to pop up by June (second in line)...boy or girl? They dont know yet.

3. Hannelore, the mama of Lieke, is for August (Lieke will be a big sister soon!)

4. Mama, my mama, is for end of october (so meaning I will be a big brother soon!)

And another good news..mama's sister...Ninang Geli is also expecting a baby!  And she will be for end November or December.

What a year! 2010 will be rich of new crying babies.  Its gonna be a tough job for me to be a big brother and cousin...oh well, its gonna be a nice adventure for all.

Here is an update on the existing family babies:

Lieke, youngest of the 3...so far..soon not anymore!

Ehem...me of course (middle of the 3, the only boy...for now)

Windpokken, maar toch...Bulutong but still...

Blijf ik goed spelen, lekker eten en lang slapen! Zoals Oma zei, ben ik nog altijd de zonneke in huis!


I stay playing as active as I was, eating as much as I have been eating and sleeping as good as normal. Just like what Oma says, Im still the sunshine in the house!

A few weeks ago, I started getting fever and pain in my mouth. I wake up at night crying and told Mama I had pain while pointing inside my mouth. Papa brought me the following Monday to the doctor before he left for his training in France. As behaved as I am, I did all what the doctor asked me to do. I laid down on the bed, I said “Aaaaaah” when he checked my throat, he checked my ears and I let him hear my heartbeat.

“He is growing teeth!” the doctor exclaimed. It’s kinda good news since we expected something worse. But I am just a growing boy and is having additional few big teeth in my collection.

A few days later...still having quite a fever once in a while, on a Tuesday night when Mama was cleaning me up in the bathroom...she saw that I had a red spot on my forehead. The next day when we got to Nicole, Mama showed the wound to Nicole to ask what it is. Nicole assured Mama that I just probably hit my forehead somewhere...(although thinking about it, since last week Brent and Arne, the twins from the daycare have chickenpox!)

Wednesday night, Mama was cleaning me again in the bathroom, she took my shirt out and saw that I have loooots of red spots on my back!

Thursday morning, Oma and Opa picked me up...Mama requested that I be brought to the doctor to be checked up. And yeah, I have chickenpox too! Not a happy sight but I dont really have any trouble with it. LUCKILY, Mama already had chickenpox when she was younger so Mama and the baby are not in any risk at all.

That Sunday, we had brunch scheduled with the neighbors...but since I have chickenpox they were thinking of looking for a babysit for me so we dont infect the neighbors Arthur and Louise....but Saturday afternoon, Frank the Papa of Arthur and Louise approached my papa telling him that Arthur also have chickenpox...so blessing in disguise...I can come brunching too!





Its been 2 weeks now and this week starts the itchy period when all wounds start to heal.  But Mama is taking good care of me...and soon Im gonna be the old gwaping Niels again! SOON!

Till then,

Nielske
