entertainment">“While our desire to become parents for the first time was quickly fulfilled, this second miracle took a little longer. Somehow we knew that one day we would like to have a brother or sister for Kiki. But that feeling only really came after Kiki was two years old,” said Annemarie, after which she and Simon went for a second.
entertainment">Last year, however, Annemarie had to undergo some MRI scans because adenomas, benign tumors, were seen in her liver. “Most likely, another part of my liver would have to be surgically removed. What a blow. That also meant that our desire to have children had to be put on hold.” Fortunately, the adenomas turned out to be so-called FNHs, which did not need to be removed. Annemarie calls the news “a cocktail of emotions.” “Tears of happiness and relief! (…) We could continue our wish!
Uncertainty
entertainment">However, the pregnancy was delayed. “And after about 7 months I felt insecurity and fear. Could we do it again? The fact that we already have our dearest Kiki in our lives softened the feeling. But the wish for a second child was no less than for a first.”
entertainment">Annemarie was not feeling well because of the process. She therefore changed her diet, paid more attention to her sleep and cut down on alcohol. “Of course you never know whether that was the perfect solution, but it also did a lot to me mentally. And then there was that day of a positive test!”, she looks back. Annemarie posted a photo of the test with her story.
entertainment">Simon and Annemarie announced last month that they are pregnant. Their daughter Kiki will turn 4 at the end of this month.
