We made it to the States!

Saturday we arrived safely in Myrtle Beach! We'll be here (and Florida) for the next MONTH...one of the perks of working in Europe is TONS of vacation which we'll be using up.

The flight was surprisingly uneventful considering Kherington has had the stomach flu. Kherington started throwing up Thursday...like throwing up as in all over mom for a couple hours (I have very thankful for hardwood floors and leather couches). Since then she has just been really really mellow. We weren't sure how the plane would go, but she just wanted to be held and to sleep. She didn't throw up at all on the plane and even saved her diarrhea for Myrtle Beach :). I think this morning she is finally starting to feel a little better...she has been eating everything in sight and had some chunky poo which I think are both good signs. Hopefully it all stays down and she'll go back to her normal self (I've now decided mellow is overrated).

Anyways...since we were making the trip we decided we should pack back some chocolates and favorite European candies to share with those we'll see.

The brown boxes are filled with Neuhaus chocolates and the stack of boxes with white on the side are toffifee (my favorite).

The New Addition

Yep...that's right. Kherington is going to be the big sister. We're having a BOY at the end of March / beginning of April.

In the US my doctor went off the calendar due date even though the ultrasound showed Kherington was growing about 1.5 weeks small and she was born a day early. If we have a repeat of that, he'll come March 30th and be the perfect size (6ish pounds). :)

In Belgium my doctor based the due date solely off the ultrasound hence the April 5th...I'm thinking that would make too big of a baby.

Everything is going great. I don't get sick when I get pregnant I just get tired so that's a plus. My doctor speaks English fluently and is very nice. We get 3 major ultrasounds (one each trimester) plus a quick one at each appointment which is kinda cool. They tested for the baby's blood type since we have negative and positive between me and Ryan and found that I get to get that fun shot once again.
