Weird times

Time for another update, a hefty one this time. A lot has happened the last month or so. First my brother Lukas' wife Marieke was admitted to hospital for a relatively simple surgery: removal of an ovary cyst. When they started the procedure the surgeons discovered abnormal tissue throughout a large part of her abdomen and she was diagnosed with ovary cancer at the age of 35. Major shock for her, Lukas and all of their family and friends. Right now she's regaining strenght and waiting for chemo to start.

On the other end of the emotional spectrum Maaike, my other brother Jaap's partner has given birth to another beautifull baby girl called Jente. They are all doing really well!

So a mixed bag of news coming from Holland.

Esther is doing really well and her tummy is defenitely starting to show. On monday we're having another ultrasound so that's pretty exciting too! We can also feel the little bubba kicking and moving around.

Both Jeroen and Jasper are doing great as well. They are very cheeky and a lot of fun. If only Jasper would sleep past 5:45 in the morning it would be perfect. Well, I gues the bright side is that we never have to set the alarm clock..... ehhrrrrr..

Right that's about it. Will keep you posted,
