Babynames Did you immediately have a name for your baby? For a boy or a girl? One of Denny’s good friends, Egon, mentioned a girl’s name last summer which both really liked straight away. Ever since then we used the name jokingly to refer to our (then non-existent) baby. I had two other girl names, …
Gender reveal party We’ve had lots of questions about the gender reveal party. What does it involve, why, how and where? 🙂 So in this blog I’ll explain a bit more, and show you some more amazing photos by Linda Hemmes Photography (who you can follow on Facebook here) AND there’s a competition in which you …
The anomaly scan (20 week scan) During my midwifery training we did learn about sonograms, but not how to do them. That’s a whole other training. When I see scan pictures it’s always of clients’ babies, or during a birth, to see the position of the baby (and in that case you don’t see much, …
A day later then usual, because my website crashed since so many people wanted to know what the gender was at the same time yesterday. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again today 🙂 To make it up to you I added a little video from the moment we cut the cake that Bo made with her phone. …
He or she… what will it be? Soon Denny and I will know whether we’re having a boy or a girl. I often ask people whether they had a preference, and usually get a pretty standard answer: it didn’t matter, as long as it was healthy. Do people really think this? Is it strange to …
Nausea In the days following the test I am euphoric, but it’s also very unreal. After all the setbacks, all the meetings in which we heard about the real facts and figures, we got pregnant on the first try! I keep thinking, “There was only an 8% chance…!” But I also don’t want to celebrate …

Reflection (Have you missed the blog before this one, with our announcement, then watch that first 😉 https://fermontfotografie.nlen/now) The last year has been an emotional rollercoaster ride. From trying to combine continuous hospital visits with my work, and constantly being busy with babies while wanting one so badly myself (and not knowing whether it would ever …
And what now? What do you do when you would really like to have a baby, but you can’t? There is still a taboo on this subject and lots of couples choose to keep this for themselves. Breaking this taboo is one of the reasons we chose to make our story public. We didn’t expect …
One more day.. Out of the whole process so far, these have been the worst weeks of all. Everything you feel, and I mean everything, gets weighed up. The abdominal pain was gone after 3 days, but of course, if there’s nothing in my womb then that’s logical. Every now and then I feel twinges, …
