Week 23 (last day)
Yesterday we have been to the doctor to check how Alessandro is doing in his mommy´s belly. He is very good. As you can see in the short movies, we he is growing fine. Also he was very active and the doctor had some hard time to check all the organs and so on.. Btw, now he is 600 gr!
In this next movie you can see what a nice hands Alessandro has! Like his father!
And this is a nice picture of him. He is so nice, isn't he?

Extra day off... or how to misuse a holiday
I just have to tell this story...
Leaving Milan alone since Marco had to stay for work I flew home towards Frankfurt. To make it cheap I travelled with Ryanair to Hahn about 140 km west of Frankfurt where our car also was parked.
Of course there were delayes so besides from the fact that the flight was scheduled to arrive midnight which seems late enough for me I ended up first leaving the terminal 1:30.
But the story starts before this. In Milan I had checked in and was on my way out to the plane with the little airportbus. I decided to prepare for arrival in Frankfurt by having the carkeys and parkingticket on top of my bag.
The parkingticket was found in my wallet, the keys were found.... §$%/# in Marco's computer bag which where with him and not with me.
So I had all the fligt time to think about alternative solutions on how to come home from Hahnairport in the middle of the night. Knowing that the last bus from Hahn leaves 1:00 and then finding out we would arrive later didn't make the flight comfortable.
Luckily the bus had waited for us in Hahn, so I bought a ticket and took the bus to Frankfurt Airport where I took a taxi home. I arrived 4:00 in the morning and had the "pleasure" of waking up my neighbours to get my spare key from them.
At 8:00 I gave my boss notice that I needed a extra day off in order to retrieve my car.
At 10:30 I gave up sleepting.
At 12:00 I took of for the trainstation to get the train to Frankfurt.
From Frankfurt I took th bus to Hahnairport. Here I picket up the car and drove back home. I arrived 18:30.
Extra cost: 108 Euro and the use of a holiday.
Lesson: Never let your husband park the car (... or something else...)

Bella Camilla
We were in Milan this weekend to hang out with tiny beautiful Camilla, her parents Chiara and Gianluca and nonna Sandra.
Marco and I are very proud of the fact that we can call us zio and zia to Camilla. She is so cute and so tiny. I can hardly believe she is so well done knowing that she arrived one month too early.
On this Picture she is 10 days old. You can already see what a charmer she is.
Of course Marco also needs attention from his mamma :-)
It's also time for Marco to get familiar with the future workroutines (did I tell you that we agreed long time ago that I feed and he cleans... he tries his best to forget that agreement :-))

Here in the arms of her Nonna you can really see how little she is.
Of course Marco also needs attention from his mamma :-)

And then of course we need quality time with Camilla.

Baby half way - the end of week 19
I simply have to show you all the small videoes I taped yesterday when I was at the halfway visit to the doctor. Our baby is so cute and full of energy. See yourself...
Oh I need to tell you - he is now 300 g heavy. That's properly why he now can kick really hard!
This is the cutest of the videos for this time. You can see both hands in front of the face where he plays around with the fingers and is touching nose and eyes.

Here we are trying to catch him to catch a glimps of his face. If you look well you can see that he is just as handsome as his mother and father :-)
After measuring the bone in his legs we are again looking to confirm his gender. We are for sure getting a son!
Here we are trying to get a measurement of his head. But he is so active so he keeps getting out of the picuture.
In the last movie for this time we see his body and the heart beating. And we see the placenta which is located towards my backside in the uterus.

Risotto di Asparagi
Today I made a very good risotto di asparagi. Martha really liked it. Of course you need the touch when you make a real Italian risotto. :-)

At Bad Homburg's park
Today we decided to have a nice walk at the park in Bad Homburg (15' far from home). It's really a nice place. Everybody there is quite and respectful of others, no matter what they do. There are many playgrounds for kids, there is a golf club, the lake with funny ducks, a tennis court... Everything is set to have a good time.We walked along the park with the sun shining upon us. Very pleasant! We took some pictures. In this one you see we are at the Thai temple. It's in the middle of the park, along with many others things.. Also modern art piece of architecture or sculptures. This park is also a botanic garden and many trees have a tag with their latin name!
What a perfect day to have an icecream, huh?!

Marco tried with a camera to film the screen last time we were visiting the doctor and saw our little baby preparing him/herself for the world. Life is a wonder!

General Conference, April 2008
Today we sustained the new First Presidency, with Thomas S. Monson as a prophet.
We were able to hear the Conference live and in English in Friedrichsdorf unit (which is also where the German Temple is located).
Marco: "this is my first time I see a change in the Presidency (live); I have loved pres. Gordon B. Hincley and now I am excited to hear the voice of our new prophet."
Martha: "this is the first time I share this experience with my husband; I loved it. This is also the first time there were people I personally knew which were called in the Seventy."
Ciao,

Hi all,
this is the first time I write a blog, so I am a new blogger.
It seems to be funny.
