Zwanger! A little Willis....

So our big Christmas holiday news was finding out we were pregnant - and the even better news is after our recent ultra sound scan, the little kiddo seems to be doing great. Here's a few fun facts:

• Birthday is currently targeted for August 21, which means I'm currently about 5 1/2 months.


• The belly officially popped out last week, where the airport security guy in Greece pointed to my belly and motioned me the front of the line .... if only we would've known the perks of having a baby belly earlier!


• Birth country will be The Netherlands. Hey, they've got major healthcare perks over here, we're for sure not passing those up! For example, for 8 days following the birth of the baby, you get a nurse at your house who helps you figure out what the hell you're doing (they also prepare meals, do laundry, etc). Sweet!


• Gender is an ongoing debate, with Stef currently winning. The ultra sound technician wrote it down for us, but it's currently very well hidden in a sealed envelope (although Gene is probably combing the house as I type).


• Belly pics - check out our Greece post below, you won't miss it! The blog photo is at 5 months, 1 week. Yes, I'm lame (okay, vain) and chopped my head off cause I just woke up.

It's all Greek to me...

... and that's just fine. Ah those famous Greek Islands - now we understand why they are just that. After failing to figure out how we could permanently support ourselves financially, we came home ... but really, this place was heaven. Naxos was the island we landed on for 5 days and we got the royal treatment from our lovely beach hotel. Apparently we were the first to arrive for the season and were greeted with an upgraded room and wine - nice! As you'll see from the pics, we pretty much ate our way through the island (Gene claims he's trying to match my belly), hiked around the city, and rented our "fun car" for the day to explore the island. We also spent a day in Athens doing some tourist stuff - just check out the pics.
