Hello everyone!
Today instead of writing you an article about a visit or an activity to do in our region, I will instead tell you what is happening in my life.
In January I told you that Benjamin had proposed to me, since that moment we were therefore focused on our engagement and the organization of our wedding that we had planned for this year or in the worst case for next year. But something unexpected crept into our schedule, so we decided to postpone our wedding until 2023. Yes! I want to be able to fit into my wedding dress!
You guessed it: I'm pregnant! 😊
It was a big surprise for us, but a very good one! We were delighted with this news!
I waited until today to tell you about it because it's now been almost to the day, 3 months. Tradition dictates that we are supposed to wait 3 months to talk about it otherwise it could bring us bad luck. But I have to admit that I couldn't hold my tongue! When I found out that I was pregnant, it was Grandmothers Day (which takes place on the first Sunday of March in France), so I took the opportunity to announce it to my mother :
- Happy Grandmothers Day grandma!
- Why are you telling me this ? You are pregnant ??????
- Oh yes ! You are going to be a grandmother!
I can hardly describe her reaction other than: “AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!! It's AWESOOOOOMMMMEEE !!!!!! ". She almost pierced my eardrums! I never imagined she would be that excited! But it was great to hear her reaction. Besides, she couldn't hold her tongue either, here is the message she sent me:
« All my girlfriends know about it! »
She actually did more than that! She rushed to buy little bodysuits even though we don't even know if it's a girl or a boy yet.
I understand her! I did the same. I was in no rush to buy clothes, but Benjamin and I have been browsing the children's departments in all the stores and I have already started making my birth list/register. I am preparing for his/her arrival! I even started to prepare his/her future bedroom! Above all, I have fun doing all the tests I can imagine to get a clue: is it a girl or a boy ???
According to the Chinese calendar, it is a boy.
According to the pendulum test, one day, it's a girl and another a boy.
According to the food craving test, it is a girl.
Not very reliable! We will have to wait until July to be sure! Can’t wait!
Anyway, there it is ! Here is the news! If you come to us for a French immersion program, between now and November, you will no doubt see me with a big round belly. And if you come starting on 2022, you will meet our little one!
We will soon no longer be just 2 but 3 to welcome you!
See you soon in a new article! 😊
