Waiting for the baby If there was 1 thing I didn’t want to have to do, it was waiting. From the very beginning of this pregnancy I’ve focussed on it lasting 42 weeks, so it doesn’t feel so incredibly long at the end. It seems like all first-time moms say: “I think the baby will …
The Epi-no A little while ago I mentioned on FaceBook that “my” Epi-no had arrived. There were a lot of reactions, and lots of questions, so now you’re getting an Epi-no post. 🙂 The first time I heard of the Epi-no was a few years ago at the Negenmaandenbeurs (baby expo). Tami, the woman behind …
Maternity shoot at the beach and the woods Everyone who knows me, or has been following me for a while, knows by now that I consider myself a very thrifty person. But it’s not always true, it’s just that there are a lot of things which I don’t want to spend money on, or which …
Fantasy vs Reality, Part II In the first weeks of this pregnancy I wrote a similar blog like this. The beginning of my pregnancy was absolutely terrible, so not only did I write a blog about the fantasy vs the reality, I also wrote in detail about the dreadful nausea. I absolutely did not see …
Samen zwangerschapsverlof Soms gebeuren er van die dingen in je leven PRECIES op het juiste moment.

Over 2 years ago we ended up chatting about maternity photography on Facebook, and we agreed that a lot of women are afraid to let their pregnant bodies really be …
The Birth Announcement Card What I’m going to say now may be considered very shocking by some, but we discussed not sending a birth announcement card at all, and only making the birth known via internet. There is so much choice, and you can make it anything you want it to be (and as expensive …
De winnaars van de tweede Facebook-actie Er werd weer massaal gereageerd, super gaaf! Jullie waren het net zoals ik erover eens dat het mooie producten zijn om in huis te hebben. Zoveel mooie reacties ook gekregen dat ik blij ben dat ik niet persoonlijk hoefde te kiezen wie er gewonnen heeft. Als het aan mij …
What do you write in a birth plan? It’s becoming more normal and popular to write a birth plan these days. Women are more aware of what they do and don’t want during a birth. One women will write a 6 page novella, and another will just list a few important points on one page, …
De winactie! HET IS NIET MOGELIJK MEER OM MEE TE DOEN MET DE WINACTIE. De vorige winactie was een groot succes. Alle winnaars zijn inmiddels in contact gebracht met de leveranciers en sommigen hebben hun prijs al binnen. Super leuk! Omdat ik zoveel mooie spullen mocht weggeven, heb ik de actie in tweeën gedeeld. Daarom deze …
