The "intended" birthday

Today is a kind of special day for us. May 18 was the day that Niklas was supposed to be born. Instead it is his 6 weeks birthday. It is strange to think that those six weeks with all the wonderful times (and a lot of screaming during the last two weeks) we have had with Niklas were not supposed to have happened. They have been the most amazing bonus.

Of course all positive things have a Czech [read: nego] side. Lucie was planning to rest and read the last two Harry Potter books during these weeks of not working. Instead she has been woken up in the middle of the night just to change diapers, stay awake for an hour, and then go back to sleep for a few hours untill it starts again. But as they (and now we) say, it is worth every minute!
