It's a girl!!!! - almost certain :D

We're going to have a girl, Borbála, or Bori for short :D at least the doc was quite convinced. Yesterday I had the next ultrasound, everything was good. She's healthy, 342g, which is around 0.66 pounds, or 10.5 ounces. It was really good to see everything is great. And just how this ultrasound is amazing:
this time the estimated date of delivery is 2008-09-11, on the 14th of February it was 2008-09-12. It's pretty accurate, isn't it?
Anyway, it's quite nice to be able to call her Bori now, not baby.. Reka is so excited as well. :D
I have a dvd of the examination, but it's quite huge. I'll ask Balint to extract one pic of the whole movie, so I can post it here.

Weekend

Something is in the air for sure.. this weekend is full of new/crazy/exciting happenings..
Sun is shining, it's officially spring here, wonderful :D so all the new things should turn out a success and all the bad things should go away soon, right???? :D
Saturday I've started reorganizing the plants in the "winter-garden" in the upper floor. It's a big project, I've took out some of the old plants, rearranged the nicer ones and there is some space left for new ones, I'll try to get some with nice, brighter color.
After the gardening, while I was lying in the bed I felt the kicking for the first time! And a bit before some of the movements were quite stretching: it's like if the baby is turning in me and sticking the butt out :D my belly was quite non-symmetrical for sure :) i remember these from Reka's :)
Today after mass I've planted the ones that got out from that to individual pots while Reka was gardening and playing in her sandbox: we've worked outside in the terrace, it's beautiful... really!
Here are some pics of the new pots and the inside garden ... SOON ;)
We'll visit my grandparents and then one of my old friend, Viki and her family after nap-time.
Enjoy the weekend, it's so wonderful April!
wow :D something is in the air this weekend for sure!!!! I had to come back and share the news with you:
my friend, Viki is pregnant (9wks) with her 3rd child. wow :D I can't believe it, I'm so happy for them. Well, she didn't let me catch up with her for sure ;) Her first daughter Zita is 9 months younger than Reka, so 3.5 yrs old, the second daughter, Anna, she's 14months. They're moving to a bigger flat in 2-3 weeks.

alone time

Balint is gone to Switzerland, and hopefully this 10 days will be spent on some things I really have to get done. We'll see how things are moving and keep you updated :D
This morning I helped Balint pack and made sandwiches for the road and also my famous onion soup for lunch. Afternoon went smooth: workout with Reka and some more cleaning in the house. Evening we went slow with grocery shopping and took Balint's grandmom back to our house, where she'll sleep tonight and we'll take her home tomorrow. Got back around 8:30pm, slow dinner for Reka, it was 10pm she was in bed. No wonder I'm tired...

Mom-in-law's birthday

Today is my mom-in-law's birthday: she's 60 today. So we're making her a nice dinner: grilled chicken, I made a cottage-cheese cake - yet to make the jelly topping, and another great desert, also, Reka and I went down to Szekesfehervar, and got her mother, so it'll be a surprise to her. Reka is of course enjoying her great-grandmom here :D
About me: I'm getting bigger .. until early this week I was OK, got a few pounds more, but nothing shocking, it wasn't obvious.. but yesterday she/he popped out.. at least that's how I feel, and probably it's still not that big .. anyway, it's time I guess :) I'll try to post some pics..
Tomorrow, Balint, my husband is going to Switzerland to the synchrotron, for 10 days. So it's alone time again, but this time with Reka. But we'll not be bored: besides work (for David and Sarah and my phd) I have yet to visit my two best friends, one of them is having a rough time with her daughter's health, the other one is moving to a bigger flat. Also, we'll visit my cousin in Visegrad I hope, if the weather will be fine.
oke, back to cleaning the house, it's in-law's visit ;)

Máté Makai :D

This evening my sister gave birth to their first child: Máté Makai. :D He's 4100gr, just over 9 pounds, big baby, right? :D has lots of hair!! My sister was overdue by ca. 6 days, so she was induced with some mild drug, but it didn't help, he was still way up, so she had a Cesarean this evening around 10:30pm. So far that's the news we got from Switzerland :D:D

This weekend was great so far:
Friday I went to a phd defeat of one of my former classmate and colleague, he did his phd research in the same group I'm doing. It was quite stimulating seeing him getting over with this whole procedure, it gave me quite a bit of push towards really wanting my phd research to finish up at least as much as possible before our leave to CA.
Today we celebrated my brother's birthday, and then I went to my old elementary school big reunion with my brother: the school celebrates its 30th anniversary and the head/director of the school, my dear old teacher, whom I usually meet in the Opera listening to Wagner, is retiring after 30 years. So it was a big event... it was kind of nice to see the old faces, but of course not a whole lot of people I have anything in common... but that's life.. it was nice anyway... specially I met my old chemistry teacher: she gave me the initial push and excitement towards chemistry with her special afternoon chemistry sessions. It was nice to see her and talk to her and say a big Thank you for everything to her.
Tomorrow it's Formula1 race in Bahreim at 1:30pm, and then a meeting with my in-laws to tell them the big news about us at THE best and favorite restaurant of us, where we had our wedding party :D --> this also went well, besides of course that Kimi wasn't fast enough to win the race, but it was good enough for now... important is that Hamilton, the main rival had a bad start and couldn't score a point after all :) .. my inlaws were happy of course.. nothing surprising.
Have a wonderful weekend all of you!

Gyn and 21st of April

Yesterday I went to my gyn, everything went well, heartbeat is fine, they took my blood for AFP and some kind of glucose test. Next ultrasound is scheduled for the 21st of April, by that time it should be pretty obvious what's the sex of the baby.. and then the next gyn visit for the end of the month. Everything is routine up till this point.. More and more people knows now at home, I'm telling everybody as we meet: my parents on Tuesday, brother, my grandparents yesterday, neighbors, colleagues, etc. it's fun for sure... I'll try to take some pics of the house and garden and put it up sometimes over the weekend, it's getting beautiful here, like early March in NC..
