Having a baby

My sister, Susan, got pregnant in October and her baby was born in July. She waited until the second trimester to tell people the good news, as by then there is less risk of having a miscarriage. During the pregnancy she had terrible morning sickness and she also had cravings for pickles and iced tea.

Susan and her husband, Brian, prepared their house before she went into hospital. They decorated the nursery, and also bought some baby equipment, such as a baby bath, a changing mat, a baby carrier, a cot, a mobile and some soft toys. They got quite a lot of baby clothes from their friends and family, so they didn’t have to buy any.

The birth itself was uncomplicated. She went into labour at around midnight, and the baby was born shortly after at 7 a.m. She didn't feel too much pain, although she hadn’t asked for an epidural.

Instead, the doctor put her on oxytocin drips to make thecontractions come a little quicker. Her midwife was with her during the birth, just to make sure that everything went well. Luckily, it was a normal delivery and she didn't need a Caesarean section. The doctor cut the cord and put the baby on her chest so that she can try to breastfeed the baby.

New relatives

On last Thursday I was on holiday. This day was exciting. I met new relatives. At 11 o'clock a.m.I went to the East Railway Station with my brother. One of the relatives lives in Békéscsaba, he arrived by train with his wife. We went into the Szép Ilona restaurant for lunch. After lunch, we ate dessert at my place, we drank fine wine and we talked a lot. We were looking at old photos. After 2 o'clock p.m. I went to the Southern Railway Station. Here’s met an another relative from village Tamási. He's a teacher and he could come after lessons by train to Budapest. We got home in 30 minutes. The two relatives had never seen each other, although they are closer relatives.

Both relatives were very nice and friendly people. At 6 o'clock p.m, they went home. I
hope so, we'll still meet.
