Marco and Bénédicte have a baby...

Unbelievable! Marco and Bénédicte reproduce themselves...

Earlier this year, Bénédicte simply wanted to know if "this was working"... The problem is that once you've tried, well there is not always a way back...
So in May, we needed both our university degrees to understand what that Clearblue pen was telling: "A blue cross means you're pregnant, even if it is very light blue"... Mine was dark night blue... "Marco? Bénédicte called from the bathroom, what do you understand here?"
So here we are now, with a watermelon hidden under Bénédicte's clothes, after a "relaxing" holiday in the summer that made us traveling from Dubai to LA, to Death Valley, to Vegas, to the Grand Canyon, to Bryce Canyon, to Lake Powell, to Monument Valley and then back to Lake Powell, Vegas and LA to continue to Palm Springs, to San Diego, to Santa Barbara to LA and finally back to Dubai... This baby inside must be some kind on Wonder Woman having survived to bumpy roads, hectic work schedules, and a bouncing speed boat.

As we move into the last weeks of the pregnancy and that Bénédicte's belly is like the universe: in continuous expansion, here is a best of the nicknames that the baby and her mother had over the last 8 to 9 months: "il verme", "project Junior", "la pastèque sous le T-shirt" , "la montgolfière barioléee", "la baleine échouée sur la plage", etc, etc
