He was a complete surprise (knowing our fertility treatment history and all the disappointments in that area), followed by even more surprises (in the beginning there were two boys (unfortunately, one didn't make it)), followed by seeing the best and the worse of human nature from the people surrounding us (that is a chapter of its own and I don't even want to waist my time on the worse part).
It was fun to observe the reaction of the two other kids of ours. First, Abigail was very mad, due to the fact that she really wanted a little sister and she was asking more then David to get one. Then she realized that her dress budget will not be affected, which she agreed with herself is a good thing. She even wants the baby to move into her room, for sometime, not permanently!
Kids are so much looking forward that even David, our pre-teen boy, wants to build a bed, that we got for the baby by himself just for his little brother.
We managed to agree on the names (funny, boys names happened to get more discussions then girl names), but there are still issues with the spelling part. Morten is going after more proper English, more conservative spelling, that is approved in the Western world. I prefer the same name spelled in the old fashion way.
On the regular news, we have just return from France, where we had the most wonderful time with friends, relaxing, doing a little bit of cultural education (introducing Napoleon, Tour de France, foie gras and champagne to the kids), and just enjoying life and free time.
