Sad news

It's a fact of life: there are good times and there are bad times.
Around 4 months ago, we were very happy with the fact that we were expecting a second child at the end of July.
During the first routine ultrasound check, last week, however, we were informed that there is something wrong with the baby. A large amount of water was discovered in the abdominal cavity of the baby, pressing away the inner organs and in this way influencing their development negatively.

At the moment, it is not clear yet what it is exactly, or what the cause can be. Fact is, that it's a serious matter, and the chance is big that we will have to terminate the pregnancy in the coming week.

We will go to Shanghai for the final tests on Tuesday, after which we will have to take the decision.

I can only hope that all will go well next week, and that we can put everything behind us soon.
