My sister's story
It all started when Tante Nicole announced that Liesbeth (Papa's cousin) and Wesley are pregnant.
 |
| SMS of Tante Nicole |
Then on Christmas Day at Nonkel Romain's place, Tante Nicole had another announcement...Jimmy and Astrid were also expecting their first baby. You know Tante Nicole, secrets are not safe if she is excited. Will all those news from Christmas 2009, another couple has been biting their lips to postpone a little bit their own announcement until their first echo has passed...yeah you guessed right! Hannelore and Joerie were also pregnant!!!
 |
| Lieke's Announcement |
Since then eveybody speculated that Mama and Papa will also announce something. There was nothing....but not too long after that, Mama found out that she is also pregnant with my sister Nina! It wasnt that big of a surprise anymore to anyone, its more of a funny news than anything else hehe. Just think of it, this year alone (2010) is the population of the Elsen and Janssens family 4 babies richer.
 |
| Mama's Announcement on 21 February 2010 |
But you see, the list didn't stop there. Donna and Toby announced they they were pregnant. Ninang Geli and Tito JM followed. Peter Pan and Tinkerbel didnt let the year pass as well. Even Uncle Lukasz joined the choo-choo-train of fathers-to-be.
On 1 March 2010 was Nina's first echo. Already a healthy little "hondje" I said. As to what I saw, she looked like a doggy in the picture! But the bigger she grew the more I realize hat she is a by in Mama's tummy.

Last March 2010 during Liesbeth's 30th birthday party was the first photo of the Super 4 taken.

27 May 2010. After 2 short months...it was so far. Laurens was born! 3 kg 900 gr and 54 cm. My new blond cousin has shown his cute little self to the world.
On 10 July 2010 was the second foto taken of the remaining 3 preggies during the BBQ here at our place.

25 July 2010. In good timing, also a sunday (same as my birthday), Stafke was born. My other cousin didn't let everyone wait too long. He knocked at his Mama's belly and such a wonderful baby he is of 3kg 250 gr and 50 cm.
On 08 August during the Brunch at Tante Nicole was another chance to take picture of Mama and Hannelore.
"Counting down has never been this exciting" Mama said because after Staf is Hannelore's turn and then Mama's turn!

"Counting down has never been this exciting" Mama said because after Staf is Hannelore's turn and then Mama's turn!
In the meantime, as Mama's tummy continue to grow, lots of changes happened in my world. First, I got a new bedroom with a bigger bed! Second, I started my potty training and its going just fine! Third, I started school!!! So as I always tell Mama, I'm already a big boy now and will be a great big brother to my little sister.
So to all of you...wait till my sister can play and she will also rock your world!
03 September 2010. Third day of school, we got the news that Nina, Lieke's sister was born on 02 September. But it wasn't a normal situation cause everyone were worried about her case. Of course everyone is so happy that she is here with us now but there is something wrong and she has to stay long in the hospital. But of course no cousin of mine will take the downside! She is a strong girl and she is proving it to everyone EVERY SINGLE DAY! As soon as she is home we will visit her and give her our biggest hug!!!!
And finally, on 05 October, Opa's birthday...my long-awaited-little-sister was born. The sweetest little baby I have ever seen. And accidentally her name is also Nina, same as Lieke's sister's name :-) But you know, I will share with you a little secret...shhhhh...Mama and Papa knows already a long time that Nina will be born on the 5th of October? I KNOW! They know and they didn't tell me!
On monday evening, 04 Oct, Mama brought me to Balen to sleep there cause Oma and Opa has to bring me to school the next day. Not normal but I followed blindly. Looks like that THAT very next day they will already go to the hospital very early in the morning.
Mama was planned to be in the operation room at 9am...

Finally, at 10am they prepared Mama and brought her to the operating room to be hooked into epidoral.
And at 11:09am...my little sister Nina...let herself be heard! SHE WAS BORN!

After that, Nina was weighed, measured, brought to the room with Papa. Mama still has to recover before she can see Nina again.
Everything went OK and in the afternoon I visited them together with Oma and Opa...Oh I missed my mama! And I was able to see Nina too! She is the sweetest "zusje" I have ever seen.
Here are some more fotos of her:

False Alarm...Whew!
Good morning everyone!
Almost loosing consciousness, I had a 5-min-long-contraction last night that I thought would be the finalé of this pregnancy.
After I put Niels to sleep my contraction started, went downstairs, got hold of the home phone and mobile in case I need to call 2 people at the same time (haha), waiting for the big contraction to pass before I call Nico which was just on the way home from Brussels...I was already planning of calling Nico's parents after I call him...I rested on the sofa, called Nico after a few minutes...JUST to know at least where he was in case it happened again...the list of things to bring were running through my mind...whew! Good it was just a false alarm!
The contractions were over and were back 30 mins after but very slightly..and then never felt it again since last night.
So baby, hold on still for a few more days...

My Little Picaso
As a proud Mama, I post here in our blog Niels' artwork :-)
Last 28 September was the ever first Parent's Meeting we have for our big boy Niels' school. I wasn't there unfortunately, only Nico was able to attend cause somebody has to stay here at home while Niels sleep of course...and I surely missed a big deal of fun Nico said. Next time its MY TURN!
Teacher Inge told the parents what they do in school and who they play with during playtime outside. Inge said that usually when its time to go outside and play she sees these 5 boys ganging up and playing together at the playground: Niels, Vic (a classmate of Niels and lives here closeby), Arthur (our neighbor), Xander (Arthur's bestfriend and in the same class as Arthur) and Seppe (classmate of Niels and son of Arthur and Xander's previous nanny). So you see the relationship how they know each other? Funny huh?
But he doesnt really tell so much about it when he gets home. Also about his artwork he didnt say much. But when he woke up the next day and I showed him what he made. He glew up in proudness and he said "Oh yeah, Ik heb dat gedaan in school!"
So I asked him what the drawing is about and this is what he said:
But when Nico asked the same question in the evening, his description changed so I guess his artwork depends on the eyes of the beholder :-)
