Thursday, 3. January 2008, I had the regular midwife checkup, and
everything was fine: my health, her size, her heartbeat...
Tuesday, 8. January 2008, Camiel and me went to Bussum, and Peter Pontiac
pained a big blackberry-belly-painting on me, with Alisa as a Ladybug and
Charlie as a Bumblebee on it. While he was painting, baby (still without a
name) was moving sometimes, as if taking part :-)
At home, we made a movie of the movements under the "braam".
Wednesday, 9. January 2008, we celebrated Mileva's birthday with the
dinenr in "Cafe Amsterdam".
Saturday, 12. January 2008 I took a bath, washed off the painting, and saw
the belly moving - the last time that I was paying attention, that I was
aware of, and that I could remember later.
Sunday, 13. January 2008, we went to Efteling. I was walking too much and
got very tired, and my legs and my back and my belly were all hurting for
another two days. I was a bit worried, and angry at myself, but I still
thought that everything is fine.
Monday, 14 January 2008, I had a massage with Reintje. It felt very good,
altho my body was still tired from too much walking. I still went shopping
afterwards, but I had to call Camiel to fetch me with the bike from the
Zeilstraat, because I could not walk so good any more.
(Nana told me that Mileva told her, later, that she remembers how I was
doing "yoga" on the floor together with Charlie, and that the baby was
moving and that I said "Baby is also doing yoga". I don't remember this at
all, and I still can't bear to talk with Mileva about it
myself...(3.2.08))
Some time during those days we more-less agreed that "Olivia" is the best
name.
Tuesday, 15. January 2008, we took Charlie to Anja, to the "speelzal".
Then I went shopping again, cycling all the way, to Kinkerstraat, and
back. I felt good.
In the evening, Camiel and me went to see "Woman in the Dunes" in OT301. I
fell of the bike justin front of there. I had a shock, but I didn't hurt
myself, I was going very slow, bike fell on the other side of me, I didn't
hit the belly, nor did I hit myself anywhere else...
Still, I was afraid... I tried to feel the baby moving while I was sitting
there in the cinema, but I could not, or I was not sure. I didn't worry
much, I tried again, but I explained it as "she can not move on command",
"I am not relaxed enough to feel her" (altho I fell asleep during the
movie)... and so I went home and did nothing about it.
