Völlig fertig und irre glücklich

An honest, heartfelt book about the joy of becoming - and being - a mother. "I am pregnant. I am standing in the bathroom and I am pregnant. Damn, I am really pregnant. The test clearly shows two lines. Behind the door, just a few steps away, he is sitting at the kitchen table reading the news. It’s a morning like many mornings, a day like many days. Until I go over and tell him. I have imagined this moment so many times. How two unmistakable lines appear on the test. How I fall into his arms. How I say, 'Honey, I’m pregnant!' How he strokes my belly. Now I am standing here with cold feet because I forgot to turn on the heating in the bathroom, feeling nothing and everything at the same time. I am happy, of course I am happy, but so quietly that not even I would notice it.".
