We are expecting baby number 2!
We have known it for quite a while but I wasn't feeling ready to announce it on the blog yet.I am 13 weeks pregnant now and the baby is due in late January/early February.
This pregnancy is so different from the first one.I haven't had severe morning sickness like the last time which is great!
I feel tired and suffer from nausea from time to time but that is all and I hope these will pass in a few weeks.
We had our first ultrasound scan today and thankfully all is well.
Defne is very excited about the baby and tells everyone that she has a baby in her tummy,too :)

Anybody out there?
It has been so quiet here,hasn't it?
I went through a difficult time of my life and did not feel like blogging.
I lost my dad last month.He was ill and not doing well but we were hoping that he would get well soon.Unfortunately he couldn't make it.
It is difficult being abroad in such times..I am glad that we visited my parents in April and got to see him for the last time.
One of my close friends who also lost her dad years ago,told me that grief, isn't something that will come, last a period of time, then go away. It's like an ocean, sorrow coming in like waves, then receding and coming back when you're not watching, hitting you full force in the back, or slamming you straight in the face. Then, it recedes again.I understand this more and more as time passes.
Well,that is all for now.
I hope you are all well.
Hoping to update with more cheerful posts soon..
