Christmas

Linda, I personally had that fear too, but I was afraid of making a fuss. My husband didn't dare either; he was way too scared that I'd give birth there. He was even more anxious than I was, so sweet.

We were actually invited to Belgium, where his sister-in-law lives, but we ended up not going. He explained, and luckily she understood. We'd have had to travel all the way from Amsterdam to get there, which is quite far.

And my girl ended up coming early anyway, so it was good we didn't go. Both my princesses were born a bit early, not by much, just 2 weeks.

I'd say you should see your friend to talk it over, and maybe just skip it this one time. This is only once in your life that you'll still be able to spend Christmas together with him. Soon there'll be a baby. Enjoy this time consciously together, without any hassle, noise, or people around you.

Well meant, however. This special period won't come back; try to really enjoy it consciously, just you two, completely alone, while you still can

Best, Madelene
