I've let the blog fall wayside, and I'll keep this recap short and simple.
Immigration takes strength and can be quite a rollercoaster. The first 6 months can be likened to any other major life struggle. I'm coming out of it with the same feeling that I had around 6 months after a devastating house fire. I lost everything, my past, my comforts; all in one night. Immigration felt a bit like that. And now, as I move further and further from the moment of change; growth and learning are coming into site. I could probably write a book about this form of loss and growth. I know I'm not the first one to experience it, and it can come through so many different ways....
We took a famously long Dutch vacation for the better part of the Spring. It was lovely and exhausting, as just before embarking we found out I'm pregnant. Needless to say the pregnancy has kept me busy enough and I can't complain about not working right now :) Having said that, expect to see a lot more 'having a baby in a foreign country' and 'being a pregnant expat' type of entries. I'll still try and keep them loaded with links and info.
So in a nutshell: I'm pregnant, we had a wonderful long holiday while the man and I are still but two, the days are long, and the sun is plentiful <3
