Bit of this and that

This past week has been filled with all sorts of different things.  Monday we had a band named Stoew give a concert at our school. We had been planned it a long time ago, and it was great fun to finally get to hear them play.  They are a band who has written new melodies to old Hymns, and both Søren and I as well as the students enjoyed it very much.

Thursday we had a busy day. First with classes and setting up the stage and gymnasium for the evening celebration, where all the students that are going to be at the school next year come and get information.  Then a quick break from setting up to go to our midwife and see a video on child birth with 4 other couples.  It was nice to have a change of gear, but I was not looking forward to this experience. But as it turned out, it wasn’t so bad.  It was actually nice to see some actual real life births, to have a more realistic pictures of what it will be like…(as opposed to what you usually see in movies)…we found out that it maybe isn’t as dramatic as it might seem, having to drive 100mph to the hospital and so on.  I also had a checkup after the movie and everything looks great.  Our midwife guesses that our little boy now weighs 2kg or 4.4lbs.  He has been moving like crazy lately, and it is fun to actually be able to feel body parts at times when he kicks really hard.  But yeah…afterwards we went back to school had a sound check for all the music that we would play with the choirs and bands that night.  The evening went well and as always it was fun to see all the new students. (It was a little weird knowing that I wouldn’t be there for the first half year though!)

On Friday we had our final meeting with the bank before getting our house keys.  We signed all the loan papers, and on Wednesday April 6th everything will be officially ours!  After our meeting at the bank we had an appointment at the hospital where we were given a tour of the delivery area of the hospital. It was nice to get a little more information and see the area.  It didn’t seem so scary!

Finally on Friday night we had a cast party with the show choir to celebrate the show we had in January.  It was fun to see them all again and as always when you get so many crazy people together, there were a lot of laughs! While I was at the party Søren was visiting his Mom and they had a great time as well.
