Well I'm not a regular blogger, I'm easily bored. I know. But sometimes I should write something. Yes, the title shows it. Tep is already 2 since yesterday. I'm at my 23rd week of pregnancy, my second child, a boy, Tom.
When Tep moved to toddler class in the kinderhaus, summer came, she got on well with the kinderhaus, less sick and happy. Things seemed to settle down. I was thinking to look for a job. Job application was sent and two weeks later I found out that I was pregnant. That is! Things always happened for a reason. We planned to have another child soon, but not this soon. However you'll never know your destiny :) You have to fulfil some milestones in your life sooner or later. It is a surprise but we are both happy it happens.
By the time baby arrives, Tep will be 28 month old. Both of us have sibling but not that close gap in age (mine is 10 year younger and my husband's brother is 14 year younger). Both families are very excited. Our parents don't want us to repeat their mistake in raising children. Long story but very common (I'll write about it sometime).
Tep reached the age of two with some tantrums but not very serious. I guess it's normal to have tantrums. In general she is easy-going. She may want something badly but not desperate. I weaned her at 19 month old. It only took about 3 nights of crying at bed time. After that she never wants my boobs again. She just looks at them and smiles. It made me a bit sad but she wasn't. At 20-21th month, her vocabulary broke out. She started talking both Vietnamese and German. Of course we only speak Vietnamese to her and she almost never mistakes between two languages at home or at kinderhaus. She speaks Vietnamese to us and German to her teachers and friends. At 24th month she can make short sentences (3 words) though she knows a lots of words, we guess around 150++. She talks like a parrot, repeats what we said with same tone. It's so hilarious. She acts like a monkey, copies exactly what we did. It's so funny to see our miniature. Since she can walk and talk, our home is full of fun and laugh. She's the most funny girl in the world. (Every single parent thinks so about their children, I know). She cares for us too. She kisses her daddy and calms him when he (pretends) to be sick or hurt. She loves daddy, loves to play with him all day. When I'm tired she plays by herself, not disturbs me. She always wants me to go to bed with her. I love it too.
We also tell her about the coming baby. She loves the books about new baby, she loves her doll. Sometimes she kisses my belly and calls her brother. I think it's better to well prepare her about the baby. I don't want my sweet girl to turn to upset and shocked when baby arrives. She is one member of the family, she has the right to know and be ready too. I want her to love her little brother and be a good sister. We hope they will be good siblings and friends to each other.
My pregnancy so far is good. I had terrible morning sickness, worse than last time. Luckily it's over. I'm tired here and there but nothing's serious. Now I'm very anxious toward week 27th and further. Last time things suddenly happened at 27w4d. Tep was born at 34w4d, after 7 weeks of hospital bed rest. I hope baby Tom will bake longer and I don't have to go to hospital at all.
My mother in law is coming for 6 weeks and brother in law is visiting for 3 weeks during the holiday. I don't know it's good or bad, let's see.
