The big anouncement. Round II.
Before I continue with the "enormously long text" as my brother recently called my entries, let me give you the important news of the month, so you don't have to sit through the enormous boredom of it all: I am pregnant. In fact I am almost 9 weeks pregnant and it seems so long to me that I am considering delivering in about a month. The reason for that is nausea of course, which this time seems to not hit me as hard (I AM SO NOT JINXING IT RIGHT NOW), but nevertheless I've still been constantly nauseous from about week 5 1/2 and I am ready to be done. Never will I understand why something as happy and exciting has to start with the awfullest feeling in the world.
I was "determined" not to be pregnant for my vacation, the first in 18 months, but of course, here I was with the two pink lines about 15 days before departure. It's not like I was too surprised. I am familiar with human biology, but it seems - and here I apologize to every woman, who has been struggling to get pregnant cycle after cycle - I only have to have so much as a positive thought towards a possible pregnancy and I will most certainly find myself indeed in the family way right thereafter. I know I know I am lucky and I'm not complaining, it is just sometimes a scary thought. BOOM! I'm pregnant. So then I tried to change my thinking as there is nothing one can change about a positive test and decided that being nauseous while staying at my mom's house is actually a great idea because I won't have to inhale any cooking smells and my child will be permanently entertained while I lounge on the sofa. And indeed, here I am, stuffing myself on homemade food (for those of you, who are not familiar with morning sickness, a full stomach helps ease nausea) and my daughter is blissfully at play without my supervision.
I would have told you I was pregnant the day I managed to take a good picture of the pregnancy test, but Lincoln said to wait and I did and it was very hard. I was so tempted and I wanted to share all the anxiety over when exactly I would start feeling miserable and the confusion about how it was possible to have more than one child anyway (I'm still a little convinced I will just give birth to Veronika II), but I couldn't, so now it's all coming out summed up - which my brother will thank me for I assume.
In other news: I AM ON VACATION. There are more details to this, like how Veronika feels about the beach and how I feel about Veronika on the beach, but that will have to wait, because I AM ON VACATION and this is a sacred time.

Oh, let me be the first to say Congrads here! How exciting and at the same time I fully understand the scaryness. I hope you are not sick for too long and that this pregancy is all smooth sailing. I will be excited to follow your journey since I am curious what things are like with two. And if you need someone to complain about morning sickness and fear of the future please feel free to email me. Yay to all the Souzeks.
Congratulations! Praying you'll get over the morning sickness part of it all in no time.
Cuidate y descansa por ahora (que luego te llega el trabajo mayor al regresar! ;) ).
Congratulations ! Have fun on your vacation. Say hello to Austria for me. :)
Congratulations! How very exciting!
A second child might seem like more work to some, but I found that having two meant, somehow, less work! May it be the same for you ... and may the nausea stop soon for you.
Prayers are being sent on your behalf.
Congratulations! Great news. Enjoy your vacation. :-)
What wonderful news, Dinka! Will be thinking of you, Lincoln, V, and V2... heh heh heh.
Congrats!!! Enjoy your vacation!
Congratulations!!!!
