Chinese Astrolgy

Ever wondered what your chinese sign is? There are 12 zodiac animals in the chinese horoscope and each of them is assigned a different element. You can be wood, fire, earth, metal or water.

The chinese year has a different span than our year, so watch out. Their New Year falls on different dates each year, on a date between January 21 and February 20.

So Ryon thought he was a Dragon at first as 1976 is the year he was born, but at a closer look we found out that the date he was born was within the end of chinese year 1975, so he turned into a wood rabbit, much to his disappointment as he would have liked to be a fire dragon! (Everybody: "Awwwwwww! ")

I'm a water dog by the way! My mum is a fire pig and my sister a fire snake. My dad is a fire dog.

The Naming Dilemma - Update

Bennet Alexander Grau



or



Maximilian Alexander Grau

Ok, so it's not really a Dilemma, because Ryon is cooperative and we already agreed on Bennet Alexander Grau. Maybe we will name him completly different once we see him. Like Jürgen or Gottfried or sth like that! :) We've got still plenty of time to decide. He is very calm today, not moving much, so I hope evrything is alright. Mummy isn't feeling brilliant and had a temperature along with tummy cramps, but the midwive wasn't too worried as long as he had '10 movements a day'. I told her he moved 5 times by noon. But did she mean 10 kicks in a row or 10 times active periods along with breaks in between, probably the latter. I don't know if I should be worried as he's not as active as he has been the previous days...

Benet or Bennett = English, from the surname Bennett, which is the old English form of Benedict, from the Latin >benedictus<, meaning "the blessed one"

Maximilian = Latin, from the Roman family name Maximilianus, derived from the Latin >maximus<, the "greatest"
