Wednesday 24th of November 2010: Making room for the baby...



Wednesday 24th of November 2010: This week we have been organizing the office to make room for the baby (not ideal but we have to adapt, these are hard times...) In the end I will have a office corner and the rest of the space will belong to the baby.

Organizing the office has taken some 4-5 days, and still we are not completely finished. How can one have so much crap?!

173 days left - Sunday 21st of November 2010

15 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy - 173 days left

Apart from feeling sick because of the pregnancy, Eva has now also caught a cold. Not strange since the weather in Seville has been crazy. Fairly warm and sunny during daytime most of the days, some +20 C in the shadow, and some other days rain, fog, wind and very cold. Very cold in Seville is around +9 C but the humidity is horrible and the termic sensation is definitely not +9 C.

Seems like it´s going to be a rainy year again...

Fresh orange juice, kiwis and Actimel to treat the cold!!

177 days left - Wednesday 17th of November 2010

Time for a new weighing in today: 68.4 kg

Eva is playing music for the baby with her iPod and it seems to like it! Eva noticed some slight movements for the first time today. Fascinating and I cannot wait to feel the first kicks.

Supposedly the baby can hear male voices more easily so I need to keep in talking to the belly!

179 days left - Monday 15th of November 2010

The sickness is back. Supposedly the baby is growing a lot at the moment and Eva has noticed it. Weekend was bad and today as well. One never stops to get surprised...

The baby´s hearing is now developed so now it can hear us! I have already started with the Swedish lessons...!!

184 days left - Wednesday 10th of November 2010

Got orders to do weight checks once a week. Life and weight became a mess with the feeling of sickness.

Weight today: 67.7 kg

191 days left - Wednesday 3rd of November 2010 (appointment with the gynaecologist / ultrasound númber 3)


12 weeks and 5 days - 191 days left / 12 semanas y 5 días - Quedan 191 días

Hola de nuevo! Hoy otra cita con la ginecóloga, esta vez una nueva (Elisa en el Centro Milenium de Sagrado Corazón). La otra ginecóloga de aquí de Tomares era sinceramente malísima.

Pero con la nueva, Elisa, estamos contentísimos! Qué diferencia! Hicimos la tercera ecografía y midieron el pliego nucal para valorar el riesgo de síndrome de Down. También le hicieron otra prueba de sangre a Eva, también para mirar el tema de síndrome de Down. Todo parece estar en orden!! El bebé ya mide 5,6 cm, más del doble que la última vez. Escuchamos de nuevo el latido del corazón del bebé, late muy rápido! Eva iba en ayunas y la cosita estaba un poco floja, no quería moverse. Pero después de dar unos golpecitos a la barriga empezaba a moverse! Realmente impresionante y emocionante! Se veía el cuerpo perfectamente: la columna vertebral, los brazos y las manos, las piernes y los pies, una oreja. Increible!

Elisa explicaba las cosas muy bien y es muy profesional. Además, es experta en tratamientos FIV. Próxima cita: 15 de diciembre de 2010 (18 semanas y 5 días de embarazo, quedarán 149 días). Entonces es posible que nos puedan decir el sexo del bebé. Dicen que es fácil ver si es un niño, no tan fácil si es niña.

También tenemos cita para la ecografía Doppler: 4 de enero de 2011 (20 semanas y 4 días).

Hey again! New appointment at the gynaecologist today, and with a new one. The other one in Tomares was, to be honest, really bad and the pregnancy is too important to take any chances. So we decided to change gynaecologist and start going down to Seville instead. Our new gynaecologist is called Elisa and what a difference! She is also and expert in IVF treatments, makes you feel much safer.

We made the 3rd ultrasound and Elisa measured the wrinkel in the neck, to esteem the risk of Down´s Syndrome. Eva also made another blood test for the same reason. Everything look just fine! The pregnancy seems to have stabilized and there is no longer any big risk of abortion.

The baby is now 5,6 cm, more than twice as big as the last time. We could also hear the heartbeat of the baby, the heart is beating really fast! Eva had gone down without having breakfast and the little one was a bit lazy and did not want to move. But after giving some light taps on the belly it started to move! Absolutely amazing!! We could see the baby´s backbone, arms and hands, legs and feet, one ear...

Next appointment: 15 of December 2010 (18 weeks and 5 days, 149 days left). Then we might be able to see the sex. If it´s a baby boy it will be easy to see, not as easy if it´s a girl.

We also have an appointment for the Doppler ultrasound: 4th of January 2011 (20 weeks and 4 days).
