Five weeks (or so) to go..

We had our latest meeting with the doctor today and it was relaxed and easy going as ever as we followed our typical conversation.

doctor: How are you doing this month?
me: fine, thanks
doctor: okay, we'll do the usual tests and then schedule our next appointment
me: okay
ben: okay!

:-) What can you say? With only a few weeks left everything seems to be trundling along quite merrily!

I finished work yesterday - and so am officially on maternity leave (as I really enjoyed my work it feels a bit odd to have finished, but I'm sure I'll get used to it...).

Tomorrow, Ben and I are heading through to see Juliette (his sister) in Germany - and I'll stay on until Wednesday while he'll come back tomorrow evening. So, expect tales from deutschland on Thursday!

much love,
Robyn

and finally!

.. and a rather 'bumpy' photo of me in our bedroom (though, be warned, this photo is already a few weeks old!)

et voila! a rather quick and easy guided tour of our new apartment.

Of course, there are things we'd like to change - but then, hey, isn't that the joy of actually owning your own place? As you can make it 'your own' rather than just muttering about the landlord's lousy taste in home furnishings!!!

love n hugs,
Robynx

and the kitchen...

.. and the kitchen (though some of it is hidden behind the lens.. including the big window with looks out onto a lovely leafy tree).

baby's room

.. and if you think the baby's room looks 'a bit messy' - you should see it today as Ben's just stripped all the wallpaper off the walls!!! Hopefully, I'll be able to post another photo in a few weeks that looks a bit more like a real room (you know, with furniture and stuff :-)

not the most exciting photo but..

and the hall....

the living room part II

... and the second shot of our living room - and an inkling of just how green the hallway is for the moment!

Apartment Pictures

Hello,

This is just the first of a few photo blogs showing off our apartment (but not its paintwork!).

Rather obviously, this is the living room.. which has 3 windows that look out onto the stone entrance to Mutzig (see flood/July 14th photos).

So far, it seems pretty ideal as it's cool in summer and - with the fireplace - should be nice and cosy in winter.

(there's also plenty of room for a certain wee boy to spread his toys around!).

smiles,
Robyn
