...denn 1 + 1 gibt 3...

[pne]

It's official now... we're expecting a baby!

Stella is due on 11 September (but she hopes that it won't come exactly on that day).

And because I like polls, here's one:

[Poll #255854]

Those of you who want to see some sonograms can have a look at http://wunschzetel.de/pics/baby/.

I imagine not everyone wants to read my ramblings about the baby, so I set up a filter... if you want to read, please fill in the poll:

[Poll #255855]

Though if it turns out that most people want to read it, I may just drop the filter. So if you're rather not read such things, please comment or vote 'no' in the poll.

And for good measure, the lyrics to Wenn du da bist from Pur, which seems appropriate here:

Diese Art Glanz in ihren Augen
hab' ich zuvor noch nie geseh'n
Sie strahlt von innen her
von da, wo Du noch wohnst

Seit ich von Deiner Ankunft weiß
wart' ich auf die neue Zeit
steht meine Welt mir Kopf
denn 1 + 1 gibt 3

Die Welt, die auf Dich wartet
ist nicht, wie sie gerne wär – nein
doch das hat Zeit, nur keine Angst
Du kannst Dich wirklich trau'n

Vier Hände voller Liebe
streicheln sich um Dich
und ich schwör' Dir, Deine Mutter
ist 'ne klasse Frau

Wenn Du da bist
Wenn Du Licht siehst
und das zum allerersten Mal

Wenn sie Dich sieht
Wenn Du mich siehst
dann glaub' ich,
werden Wunder wahr

Wir steh'n Dir bei, wir zwei
Wir steh'n Dir bei
aus zwei mach drei

Du bist das größte Abenteuer
Du hast uns grade noch gefehlt
Sie trägt Dich voller Stolz
in ihrem wunderschönen Bauch

Fühl Dich nur wohl um Deine Haut
Deiner Mutter anvertraut
bleibt Deine Welt noch klein
und Deine kleine Seele rein

Daß etwas schief geh'n könnte
klar, das macht uns etwas Angst
Doch was auch immer sein wird
wir freuen uns so auf Dich
ich bin bei Dir
und Deine Mutter schaukelt
Dich schon raus

Wenn Du da bist...

Ich kann Dir noch nicht helfen
Ich kann Dich noch nicht seh'n
Ich kann nur ganz viel an Dich denken
und Du kannst mich singen hör'n

Wenn Du da bist...

CONGRATS!!!! Hugs for Phillip and Stella!

[missysedai.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! How wonderful!

Is Stella suffering morning sickness yet?

[pne.livejournal.com]

She's over it already :)

In January, she wasn't feeling too good (and she caught the stomach flu which had her throwing up even more for about a week), but she's better now, except for the occasional day (and sometimes in the evening...).

[missysedai.livejournal.com]

I'm SO glad the worst of it is over for her! I didn't have much with Alex, but with Ernie, it lasted the whole 9 months. Yuck!

Both of the Monsters were late starters. Alex showed up *10 days* past his due date (and has never once been on time for anything else since), and Ernie arrived 5 days late. (He, fortunately, is now a punctual little tyke who is trying to reform his brother.)

So much luck going out for both of you...here's hoping for a swift delivery!

I said it already, but it's worth repeating. Congratulations, Philip and Stella!

Congratulations to both you and Stella! First born children are generally late rather than early, so I've gone for +4 - I don't know many German girls' names (I probably do, but I can't think of any), so I've gone with the name of the only german girl in my user pics (who I've chosen for this comment)!

[asciident]

Congratulations! :D

[aajwind.livejournal.com]

Weeee. I used my "congratulations" icon too. This thrills me.

YAY! Now Cassia will have to share you as a dad...you'll make a wonderful dad. Infinite congratulations!

[beginning.livejournal.com]

Many, many congrats to you and the mom. :) I hope you're all healthy and happy.

Has the feeling of "I'm a dad" hit you yet, or is it still sinking in?

[pne.livejournal.com]

It's taking a while... as with many other big things (e.g. going on a journey - usually only really hits me on the morning of the day when I leave).

Thank you!

[marikochan.livejournal.com]
