it's been a while

My apology to everyone, it's been a while since I last wrote here.
Everything is good here, Balint is in Switzerland now, he's getting back on Wednesday, along with Will and Nick from Tom Baer's lab. So we'll have visitors for 4 days, they're leaving on Sunday early morning.
Reka is good, enjoying the grandparents and our garden.
I'm fine, getting bigger and bigger. Bori is getting bigger and bigger inside me. She's kicking a lot! I can't remember that Reka's kicked this much this early!!!??!!??!!
And the funniest thing is my belly size.. in the morning, it's not so huge, it's OK. but almost every evening, she's out, like i'm a month ahead..
anyway. it's quite funny.
my docs says everything is fine, the test are fine too.
But: here's something amazing.. in Hungary, you have to choose a gynecologist right from the beginning, you have to see your gyn every months. AND you have to see a so called protecting-woman every month too: she's something between nurse practitioner and nurse or midwife. Her job is to keep track the pregnant women, help her on the way of her pregnancy. It's mandatory otherwise you don't get your social benefits from the government. And then after the giving birth her job is to help the young mom at home: she has to visit the new-mom and baby once during the first 2-3 days when they got home, and then once more in the first 2 weeks, and then once more. It's also mandatory... After that you see her when you get your baby to have the mandatory vaccines. Anyway ..
so I went to see this women, I sat there for 20-25 minutes, she copied some numbers from my blood tests and measured my belly, it's 94cm now .. at least was at 9:30am on Thursday morning :D but that was it!!!! what a waste of time, hers and mine too..
too bad..
OK, that's it for today. I'll try to be a better girl and write a bit more often. and put up some pics..
I have tons of Reka, but none of me and my belly..
that's life. I'll try to improve and never give up, right? :D
Everyone have a blessed Pentecost, Monday is a holiday here in Hungary, after all we are a Christian country :D
