This is the official blog space for the Dietrechsen family, something I hope to give me son when he grows up to let him know what he makes me feel every time I look at his mother while she is pregnant.
I have been married for almost two years, and admittedly they were the best two years of my life, until now...My wife, Maryke is four and a half month pregnant!!!
I look at her every morning and think, WOW, she is the most beautiful thing on God's planet!
Now with her belly swelling and her moods swinging she is the pinnacle of women in the world, she is the reason that God made women.
As for the little one growing in her tummy, I have so much love for him and I have only seen him in a two dimensional scan! How is that possible. If I think of the years of pleasure, heartache and laughter he is going to provide and can not wait for his arrival. The arrival of Jano Dietrechsen.
Jano is going to be the best and all sports, debate champion, chess champion and all round academic fundi! Is this to much to ask of young Jano, of course it is, but I am his father, and the proudest one on the planet.
So this is the first post in the Dietrechsen lineage...may it not be the last!!!

My loving husband Joel: I have so much to be thankful for. There could not have been a better understanding and loving husband than Joel - and I thank the Lord for that.
He is always the calm one; always have an answer to everything. A problem is never too big to resolve.
The moment that we realised that there was a small little person growing inside of me, we were both shocked and happy at the same time. It is really amazing to know that we have created something from our love for each other.
You are always happy for people when you hear they are pregnant. And I understand now, why it is so difficult to explain the feelings and the experiences of being pregnant – of future parents. Jano is so busy inside of me – and I love it. The expression on daddy’s face when he gets a chance to feel Jano moving – that makes me so happy and again so grateful for a husband that actually cares.
We have been through a lot in life, and that just made us stronger and fonder of each other. I truly love my husband, my sole mate, my best friend! I feel if everyone on earth could have been privileged to have the same relationship with their partner – the world would have been a much different place. To get married is a big change in life and your relationship takes strain, and to be pregnant even more. My biggest fear was that we would become strangers in our relationship and in our marriage – and again – we are exactly the same. We love and understand each other.
Again we are grateful to know that Jano is perfectly healthy and we thank the Lord for that. We thank Him for everything he has given us.
I thank the Lord for my husband – he will give everything he has to other people without expecting anything in return. He is caring and so protective of me and Jano – and that is just what we need. A husband and a father that will always be proud of us and that will always protect us where possible. He is the best, and my main wish is that Jano will be a grown man just like his DAD!
With three and a half months before Jano’s appearance, there is still so much to do – but we are both excited. I love Jano already, and cannot believe that next year this time, he will be with us – THE THREE OF US!!!
