Wir erwarten ein Baby (We are expecting a baby)

OK, so you knew this already (well, if you didn't, I suspect you stumbled on this blog site by mistake!). But now we are expecting a baby ANY MOMENT NOW. It is now exactly 1 week before the official due date, however it is very common to be up to 2 weeks before or after this date. Jo is getting quite uncomfortable now, and is keen for the baby to arrive slightly earlier rather than later.

We have almost everything prepared. Here is the storage for all the clothes, toys and nappies. It also doubles as a change area. Chances are your baby shower present is visible here or in the drawers and shelves.

Important is a place to sleep. We have borrowed a kinderbett from friends at church.

And all ready to hit the road. If you remember one of the earliest posts, you can now check out a real German kinderwagen (pram). Note the very large wheels, solid construction and winter protection.

Kinderwagen and autositz are borrowed from generous friends, also from Church.

The Baby Björn Carrier (Baby Björn carrier - yes that's right, it's called the same thing in German!) was bought here. As you can see, Nathan is practising carrying our 'baby' around. He says it makes him feel good. We just need to put a few weights in the teddy.
