Congratulations!

― beanz (beanz), Monday, 16 May 2005 07:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you.:-) If I really let myself go, I just start crying. I didn't want to start a tread because I figured I'm not part of the *regulars*. :-) Then I blabbed on Alex' thread and I knew Ned would start a thread. :-)) I'm VERY happy of course. I'm looking forward to the first echo (is that how you call'em in English as well?) so I know the baby's in . Everyone is now advising me not to eat for two. STOP IT ALREADY YALL! I know! Anyway, I was pleasantly shocked: we had been trying for a while now and almost given up hope. Now I discover I am four weeks preggers. :-))))))))) So from now on, if I make a mistake or whatever, I blame it on the hormones. heheh

― nathalie's baby (stevie nixed), Monday, 16 May 2005 08:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, the baby's in perfect health. duh. See, hormones are to blame! ;-)

― nathalie's baby (stevie nixed), Monday, 16 May 2005 08:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Hope you've not been feeling too queasy! What stage do you get the first scan done at there?

― NickB (NickB), Monday, 16 May 2005 08:18 (twenty-one years ago)

all the best with it Nathalie.

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 16 May 2005 08:19 (twenty-one years ago)

This is lovely news, congratulations. You can pig out on as much Belgian chocolate as you want now.

COngrats Nath! :)

I can't wait for ILX Mk II to grow up and TAKE OVER THE WORLD! I mean, think of the powah in all them fine ILX genes :D

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 16 May 2005 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

well done!

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 16 May 2005 08:31 (twenty-one years ago)

How many young-uns do we have here now? Theres Charlotte, Douglas's bub, Teeny's on the way, Maria and Scott's, Emily's... and I'm sure I've forgotten some :/

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 16 May 2005 08:36 (twenty-one years ago)

What stage do you get the first scan done at there?

Seven weeks. That's the first time I have to visit the gynaecologist. Seems a bit late to me but, hey, if that's normal, I'm okay with it. :-)

Eating chocolate? Oh brother, no, sadly not. My mom called from Japan for 22 minutes lecturing me about what to eat and what to avoid. It's sweet but I don't want to obsess over food too much. I focus on eating lots of vegetables, fruits and proteins. My iron level is perfect apparently (I was nearly anemic a few yrs ago). I also discovered green tea is *bad* cause it contains traces of caffeine.

I feel really good actually. But apparently morning sickness kicks in after seven weeks or so. :-) I'm only four weeks no, so enjoying that. :-)

― nathalie's baby (stevie nixed), Monday, 16 May 2005 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Eat lots of folate-rich veg :) Im sure you know this already, but dark greens are your friend, apparently :)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 16 May 2005 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

congrats - hoping it goes smoothly for you.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 16 May 2005 09:30 (twenty-one years ago)

That's wonderful Nathalie - hope you have a happy and trouble-free pregnancy!

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 16 May 2005 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

ooh, CONGRATULATIONS Nath :) :) Will be thinking of you often.

And now there'll be two people again in the Tom Barman fan club haha!

― Jeff W (zebedee), Monday, 16 May 2005 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

nath, I was the biggest chocoholic I knew before getting preggo, and I have completely lost my taste for it or any other sweets. So maybe it will all work out like that for you! But every pregnancy's different they say. Just be happy when you can eat anything--if/when the morning sickness kicks in, you'll need all the nutrients on your side that you can get. I kept eating like crazy because it made my stomach feel better and also because I was afraid I would get worse and start vomiting (I never did). At 11 weeks I've gained 8 pounds--you're really only supposed to gain a pound or two in the first three months! I went to my first prenatal yoga class last night, though, and my teacher told me she gained a HUNDRED pounds with each of her pregnancies!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 16 May 2005 12:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks Teeny, I need someone who is realistic - my mom's obsessing over my weight, actually adivising me to lose some in my first term.

Jeff, we were already joking about purchasing some special tummy-phones so our baby can listen to all kinds of music. I think my hormones are really messing with my taste: I can't help listen to cheesy dance music! EEP! :-)

― nathalie's baby (stevie nixed), Monday, 16 May 2005 12:38 (twenty-one years ago)

My mum once told me that when she was expecting me she and my dad took turns in playing me music. From my mum I got Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Verdi; from my dad I got Stockhausen, Varese and Dolphy. Explains a lot, dunnit? ;-)

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 16 May 2005 12:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow! Well done & congratulations!

Of course you're one of the "regulars" here!!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 16 May 2005 12:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Congratulations.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 16 May 2005 12:47 (twenty-one years ago)

oh yeah nathalie, and I wanted to say I'm sure your mum will have a lot of good advice, but get your info from several sources--my boss who had a kid 23 years ago said that her doctor ENCOURAGED her to drink wine every day!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 16 May 2005 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Every pregnancy is different - you might not get morning sickness at all. Don't fret about weight gain - eat well, stay active and watch as much bad TV as you can. Congrats!

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 16 May 2005 13:00 (twenty-one years ago)

good on ye "stevie"
I am happy about this

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 16 May 2005 13:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Of course you're one of the "regulars" here!!

Yeah, I was about to say! None of this 'I'm not a regular' nonsense! :-)

Then I blabbed on Alex' thread and I knew Ned would start a thread. :-))

Manipulation! Pulling my strings! But hey it worked. ;-) (And you were right, of course, I kept thinking, "Gosh, I really should start a new thread, shouldn't I? Would she mind?....ARGH! Yes, I shall start a thread.")

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 16 May 2005 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Nathalie that's so awesome! I'm incredibly happy for you.

― miccio cannot get onto his e-mail account to find password FAHCK, Monday, 16 May 2005 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

My congratulations and many happy thoughts to you, Nathalie. Let us know when you need help picking out names.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 16 May 2005 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Knowing both parents' tastes, if a boy it will surely be MC Tom.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 16 May 2005 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Doubt it. I think I'll remain the only Barman/dEUS fan in this household. :-)

― nathalie's baby (stevie nixed), Monday, 16 May 2005 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Congratulations, Nathalie! Ophelia is a lovely name!

― youn, Sunday, 22 January 2006 20:21 (twenty years ago)

Louis! I remember the days when Ned used to know this stuff...

*cries* I know I should have looked but My Feeble Brane. Anyway, Charlotte, Louis and Ophelia, so the next kid should be called Roger or Roberta and we'll have Clor 2.0 ready in twenty years like Devo 2.0 is ready now.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 22 January 2006 20:26 (twenty years ago)

Hooray!

Hey Nathalie, congratulations. So your baby is one day (and 52 years) younger than I am. Too bad she couldn't have come out a few hours earlier. Then her birthday would be a NATIONAL HOLIDAY. In the U.S., that is.

Ophelia and I have the same birthday.

Yay! That makes three people I know who have the same birthday!

Thanks for all the nice words. :-)

Here's a picture of Ophelia (at the hospital).

She just had a drink, hence the red cheeks. :-)

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Monday, 23 January 2006 09:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh my God, what a beautiful baby! She looks so grown up! (I know that's a weird thing to say but look! So calm, so wise!)

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Monday, 23 January 2006 09:53 (twenty years ago)

I don't know! It could be red hair! We'll have to wait and see. It looks redder on the pic than in reality. :-)

Stan, ROFL, not stuck on the ceiling. It's the *hospital aquarium*.

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:58 (twenty years ago)

The baby was DRINKING?

I'm calling the authorities.

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!! (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 06:25 (twenty years ago)

She weighed 3,780 kilos so not too far off the 4 kilo prediction. She was 53 cm which is very long for a girl.

I'm sleep deprived and already tired as a result, but one look at Ophelia and I know it's all worth it. :-)

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 08:03 (twenty years ago)

She weighed 3 tonnes!?!? :o

But seriously, congrats, and she is adorable indeed :D

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 08:35 (twenty years ago)

(
In numbers , and . are swapped over here (for us, it's swapped everywhere else, obv.)

2.500 = two thousand five hundred
2,500 = two and a half
)

― StanM (StanM), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 08:53 (twenty years ago)

We use the colon in that way too in Finland, but two thousand and five hundred would usually written without a period - we use spaces to make long numbers more readable, like one billion would be written 1 000 000 000.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 08:59 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I meant "dot" not "colon".

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 09:00 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps it's a difference between Continental Europe and the Anglo world, like with pounds and miles and stuff.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 09:02 (twenty years ago)

Now that you mention it, that dot is only used sometimes over here too.

(damn. I'm going to notice that difference everywhere now, aren't I?
Google News: "Search and browse 4,500 news sources updated continuously." Wow! Nearly 5 new sources!)
